We use either 2 - 2oz or 3oz cut away slices hooped together with tshirts. Why are you using adhesive and slipping one under? Adhesive will just gum up the needles. Only use it when absolutely necessary. Solvy - only if needed. Tshirts don't have a ton of pits and valleys - most of the time we find we don't need it unless you have a ton of fill area that isn't covering well. Actifeed... I'd set it at 2 or just leave it at the default. 4 is too high. Just my way of doing things - YMMV. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
