Hi all!
I had a Bravo machine but I just traded it in and now have a new Amaya XTS. 
I've been embroidering just some regular size satin stitched letters and I keep 
getting upper thread breakage when using a rayon thread. I do the same exact 
thing (same item, same needle, etc.) with a poly thread, and it stitches fine. 
I've been embroidering for years on a Brother PR-620 and I've never come across 
breakage just because it's rayon thread. Is there something I should adjust to 
compensate for using rayon over polyester? I know rayon is not as strong as 
poly and shreads easier, but I don't know how to compensate for this on the 
XTS. Appreciate any input.
