3.4. How do I set my bobbin tension?
Melco has found that good quality embroidery can be achieved within a range of
bobbin tension. What usually works well is "As you gently bounce the bobbin
case - holding the thread with your hand - it should drop approximately 2 - 4
inches / 50 - 100 mm " but bobbin tension can be as loose as "when you hold
onto the bobbin thread and let the bobbin case hang, it should begin a slow but
steady drop

From the sounds of it, I might try 5 or so but if it's sewing OK and you have
enough bobbin showing on the back then don't change it.
I would guess from what you said, after a while of good sewing
you began to have thread break problems.
I would check your bobbin, after that many stitches you are probably
down to the end of the roll and maybe it doesn't with other people
but we have issues with the bobbin changing tension towards the end.
I think this is a standard known issue, but the fastest answer is slap
in a new bobbin and see if things get better, (check tension first)
if not you can adjust the current one and see if it helps.
as far as MT there is no correct number, if your bobbin
tension is different than mine then we maybe using different
MT to get the same result. it's a combination of the two that creates
the proper stitch. you can always use the help button next to the Material
Thickness
button and it gives you suggestions. click the one that best matches what
you are sewing and click it and your off and running.
This is from the Amaya tech website; F.A.Q. section
3.8.2.5. How should I set bobbin tension when sewing on caps?
In most of the cases you get good results when setting the tension loose:
"when you hold onto the bobbin thread and let the bobbin case hang, it should
begin a slow but steady drop."
Don't forget that you have to take the thread out of the pigtail before you
check tension.
Give it a try and see what happens.

Good evening,
I hope no one is upset here, but I am changing the subject to material
thickness. I have been using my new Amaya for just one week and am not sure I
am using the correct number for a light denim shirt with a very thin nylon mesh
backing. The design is Zundt lace and could be a bit too dense with short
stitches. I set it at 4 but have had lots of breaks throughout the 68 thousand
stitch design. What's weird is the design was half done before the breaks
started occuring. I changed the needle, which helped somewhat. I guess my
question is what number would you pick for a light denim shirt. While I'm at
it, what number do you pick for a polo or sweatshirt with nylon mesh backing
and solvy topping? THanks, newbie Debra from Indiana

Thanks Ron,
I guess I should have explained that it's a polo style sport shirt
(for a teacher-Math tools sticking out of the pocket, and it has to be just
right for the compass to hang down on the left side.) Will the tape trick work
for this? As I said, I'm spatially hopeless. (I teach 9 year olds all day...I
have an excuse!) I'm only the "Computermaster" around here. "Hoopmaster"
Bessie will read this in the morning and give it a whirl.
