Try loosening your bobbin tension. My bobbin tension is looser than what the Amaya technician set it at. I changed it back after he left. This allows me to embroider with all types of threads, including Madeira Rayon 40 wt., Isacord 40 wt., Mettler Metrosene Plus, Superior King Tut 24 wt., Superior Perfect Quilter 17 wt., Valdani Cotton 50 wt., YLI Cotton Quilt 24 wt. threads.
