Before it breaks, it has prevented the hoop from moving to where it 'should' have stopped-and the 'slingshot' effect of the thread breaking will cause the hoop to jump (sometimes) but most often the thread didn't break until it had pulled so hard it shifted the MATERIAL inside the hoop...and now you are no longer aligned. That's all I can think of... =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
