I've been meaning to ask this for some time, but keep forgetting...
Has anyone else experienced a significant difference when using Rayon thread
vs. Poly thread when sewing out ball caps on the Amaya? It seems that
whenever we use rayon threads in a design (and it doesn't seem to matter
what the design is), that we get MANY more thread breaks using rayon instead
of poly - but only on caps - not on standard garments!
Someone once indicated to me that it might be due to the difference in
elasticity between rayon and poly thread, but I can't say that's the case
with 100% certainty. Has someone else gone through this and found a good
solution for it, or is this just something unique to us? It's gotten to the
point that we absolutely avoid using any of the rayon colors in a cap job if
we can!
By the way, the primary poly & rayon threads we use are Melco's ARC brand,
in case it makes a difference...
