Any time we get false breaks or thread fraying-it is 90% sure to be a needle that was replaced without enough twist to it. Must have something to do with rubbing on the rotary hook or something down in there-twisting it slightly must keep the thread from rubbing on something. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
