I reset the hook-timing using the methoed noted above and went straight for a small lettering sew-out which typically has about 4 thread breaks. It sewed PERFECTLY without any breaks!!!!!!!!! Seeing this I went to check my other machine and felt the gap may have been a bit too large, but was thrawted by a lap-top hard drive crash (which requires a different solution) :( Thank you VERY much for the info. Rod, I'll start a list of things you've helped me with. If it starts to grow, I'll buy you and yoru wife dinner somewhere :) Thanks, Jim =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
