Herb,
I started out with mt of 6 on Anvil Henleys this morning, went good for
about 8 shirts then started to get some thread breaks on the boat part of
the design. bumped it up to 7 they ran ok still had some thread breaks,
not bad, still on the boat part, might be a problem there.
Yesterday, i decided to clean a couple of the rollers and i used a q-tip
with alcohol. is that wrong?
On the roller thing, i don't know if its not staying in the center, i am
just saying that the position of the yellow thing looks to be more to the
right than in the center, look like it would be easy for it to slip off. I
think my cutaway is 2 oz its med.
Regards,
Beverly Thompson
