We have used the mesh, extra stable with the fibers that run both directions, regular cut away, etc. so I am down to thinking our thread feed is not correct as the tension is perhaps the cause now. We are running the "tweeners" not the big reds, and not the XT's, but the amayas that were in the transition stage between those two. I have the thread feed now set at 51 with the lower limit set at 3 in order to get them to still sew without false thread breaks. Bobbin tension is dropping about 1 1/2". Have tried the 1" drop with the auto setting as suggested with the thread feed at 50, but that was worse. do I want to keep increasing or decrease the thread feed and drop the lower limit or what to alliviate this problem? We have tried all the suggested backings, toppings, whatever and still the pr oblem exists, so this is all I can come up with as the culprit.
