What is happening can be seen if you run the same job again but drop the speed
down to 300 so you can see it...as the sewout nears the 'bad spot' you should
'hear' the hoop click against the needle plate-and you should see the hoop/bag
shudder a little...and if you are lucky, you'll see the needle bending! The
weight of the bag is pulling the hoop down too far-so the hoop sides are lower
than the needle plate and they will hit and catch on it while trying to sew
that letter. If it catches the needle plate, the hoop isn't moving far enough
but the needle is still coming down...so it hits in the wrong place by a
fraction of a smidgeon...the hoop jumps, the bag moves where it should, but the
needle is now pulled or pushed against the needle plate...instant thread
fuzzing or snapping.
You can easily build a 'table' extension around the nose of the machine so the
bag is resting completely UP level with the hoop-and this won't happen. Or
switch to the next size hoop-tricking it by setting for a larger hoop and not
using it won't do it-it will still hit there. OR shrink the design just enough
to keep from going that far. Chances are that you are well within the 'gray
line' area for sewing, but the hoop/clamp
itself underneath is running into the needle plate when it goes to the side.
You might be able to see it 'jump' just doing a trace, listen for the 'click'
and watch for the hoop to jump.
