Hello, dsldan has just posted in the Machines & Hardware forum of AmayaUsers Discussion Boards under the title of 08 XT breaking & fraying threads.. This thread is located at http://www.amayausers.com/discussion/showthread.php?5585-08-XT-breaking-amp-fraying-threads Here is the message that has just been posted: *************** My XT use to run pretty smooth. now it breaks & frays thread quite offen. It may run nice for a while, then start in again. Changed needles, changed threads. Thought maybe it's not the machine. So I started the Ampass test. Started very smooth. 1 break in the small letters. 1 in the square with 3 wide stripes. several in the horse and buggie. Lose threads & breaks in the long narrow triangles with half moon satin stitches. Maybe hook timing, hook gap, or burr on the hook. What do some of you think? I'm not completely down, I have 2 machines. *************** =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
