The machine should run with no more than 2-3 of thread breaks. (Ed and others, correct me if I am wrong) It tests wide columns, small letters, fills, satins, trims etc. It's actually quite interesting to watch. The purpose is to get a baseline on how your machine is operating. I'm suprised that if support suggested that your issues were a rotary hook that a more extended test like this wasn't run to see how your machine performed overall. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
