There are some advantages to holding onto a 7 year old EMT :)
No place for the thread to drop down into the machine. It would stay in the
thread tree.

LOL This is getting good and I am not sure I should admit this to the general
AMAYA public :) I am a little embarrased to let this happen as I should have
been back there for maintenance a month ago but got busy and I want to use my
stupidity to show everyone just how important regular maintenance is so enjoy.
I am pretty certain I had a Madeira cone on #9 or #12 needle and these tall
cones tend to let thread off cause of the vibration. I think it vibrated
enough to drop down into the gears and cam and once the cam got ahold of it it
started wrapping up. I never noticed it doing this so I have no idea how long
it has been like this or how long I ran it this way. The machine seemed to
have more thread breaks than normal about 3 weeks ago so I assume thats about
when this happened and since then we ran around 175 caps and dozens of twills
on this machine so its amazing that it was running and didn't cause damage. I
am so thankful Rod happened to be in the area and found my problems cause he
saved me lots of money.
Anyways, thats my best guess on what happened but I don't know for sure. Rod
even said this is one of the stranger situations he has seen in his travels
working on machines. The amazing thing is there was no thread causght up in
the drive gear or in the gears on the back side of the needle case that the
drive gear runs. Was just the cam and the surrounding area.

That has to be one of the more amazing things I have ever seen associated with
these machines Aaron! Were you using that color on something or was it just
getting sucked thru somehow.Cool pics!

Thought some of you might enjoy this. Rod and Sharon are here for a friendly
visit (havent got the bill yet so its still friendly) and Rod found where I
have been storing my Dark Green thread. There must have been half a spool
wrapped up in the cam of the machine. Here are some pics.

Hey Roland!! Debbie here! What tees are 7oz. besides Port Authority and
Gildan? I have searched for a really heavyweight tee (even though many of
them call their shirt a heavyweight, they aren't). Thanks!!!!!

Because teeshirts are the absolute worst garbage material you can think
of embroidering on...most shops won't even touch them.
You need several layers of 3 oz. backing just to get a stable base...
standard teeshirts are only 5.5 to 6.5 oz. material, decent 100% cotton
heavyweights might be 7 oz., and some of the real good premium weight
shirts can be 8 oz.
But it is not a pique knit or poplin, heavy weave material-it's a lightweight
fabric that just isn't made for embroidery.
You have to back off on density-the needle is making the holes, the thread is
tightening up and exposing it-and the material
itself will rip easily, very very easily, so after you've punched a hundred
holes
in a half inch area for embroidery-then the thread tightens up and pulls it
in...
instant hole!
I won't do teeshirts. Period!
Just not worth embroidering on anything that costs LESS than the thread
price to sew on it.
The only way around it is a ton of backing-then it looks and feels like you
have a patch sewn on the inside of the shirt and is very noticeable.
My opinion...
