Barbara,
True, the Amaya XT needle plate has minimal play but this should still
be checked. With no hoop on the machine, click on the "maintenance tab" and
then click on "head timing". Now click on the "bottom center" button. Now
your machine will drop the needle to it's lowest position. Verify where it
is with reference to the needle plate.

I have an amaya xt and have never had to remove the needle plate so, I am
thinking it may not need to be adjusted???? But will check to be sure it is
centered. I will also check the hook. The needles that broke were 70/10
sharps. We just ran the letters on another needle which has a 75/11 ball
point on it. No breaks, but the letters do not look "neat". You know
something isn't right when you have to sit in front of your machine with
safety glasses on for fear of getting a broken needle in the eye! Yikes!

Check your needle plate. Needs to be centered. If this is not the
culprit, remove the needle plate and look very closely at the hook. What you
describe is not a good thing. It is not the jacket causing your needles to
break.

Hi to All and Happy Holidays!
I need help! I am attempting to sew on a jacket and am having the
most unbelievable time. The jacket is a nylon wind breaker type
material....just sewing letters...luckily, I have an old jacket of the same
material to test on. I have had thread break after thread break and two
needles broke as well. Bent the "you know what" out of the needles! I
cannot figure out what the problem is! I first tried with a full block
font, to the point of the "default" column width and a 4.5 density. The
smallest of the letter size to be .40........but I don't really think it has
anything to do with the font. What is odd is the way the needle is
breaking. Like it is hitting something hard, but the material is so thin
and I am using a cut-a-way backing.
Any thoughts?
