I'm not getting thread breaks so much. It is mainly small text not looking
good. As I mentioned in the previous message, I think the operator needs to
look at changing backing and or topping combinations.
Thanks,
Marty

If you are having severe difficulties such as not being able to sew more
than 500 stitches without a break and old designs that used to sew now don't
then the suspect is the machine, in my experience. I am not saying that
everyone who experiences such problems will find their problems to be the
same as I experienced. Your problems could be related to something else.
With that said, I called Melco and explained my problems. My local tech
confirmed what he discovered and Melco authorized the replacement of the
rotary hook and cam disk. They have a newly designed rotary hook and an
updated cam disc that may or may not have been available at the time my
machine was delivered to me in June of 2003. With new thread feed rollers
and some fine tuning, the thing again runs like a scalded ape.

I have been watching the list for about a year now and find people still
have trouble with small fonts. I too have had my share. But what I found
worked well for me was using a 65/9 needle and 60 wt thread. BP or sharp, it
doesn't matter. I get excellent results using Arial (DAK) with a medium to
heavy cutaway and one or two pcs of water soluble topping. Increase the
width a bit and 150% to 180% pull comp. I just finished a job where the
small text was .15. I sewed it without any thread breaks at 1200 spm. I have
done as small as .12 on woven shirts. Pique looks better at .18 - .20. If
you are having trouble with small text I encourage you to determine if your
machine has the updated parts. Mine is a 2003 model and I was ready to burn
it to the ground until I discovered that it was delivered with faulty parts.
They lasted about 6 months and then went bad. While I was genuinely torqued
at Melco for allowing ANY Amaya go out the door with parts they knew they
had a high failure rate, they did replace them.
