I will definitely start to oil the hook as mentioned above and check the hook for the burr. I am also going to replace all necessary needles. In regards to running the machine at 1100-1200 I thought it was just to fast but I can give it try. I used the machine all day today for monograms and two different digitized designs and knock on wood no problems. One of the designs was for 12 hats and they came out great. Levelbest, I?m not sure what the AMPASS design is but if you can refresh my memory I will try it on Tuesday. Ed, I will also recheck and replace the pinch rollers when the parts come next week. I will follow up next week after I make the changes and see if things improve. More oil and more needle changes for sure. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
