Gee Ben,

You didn't let us in on all the secrets between you and Melco. What has been discussed and what hasn't?

How about:
thread
needles(type, brand, size, burrs)
needle orientation
presser foot height
speed
who digitized the design or is it stock design?
dense design
type of material being sewen on
nick or burr on retaining support finger
machine lubrication
bobbin tension
humidity(dry thread)Vegas is pretty dry

The list goes on....

If all of the above and more have really been eliminated , it does leave the immediate area of the rotary hook and needle plate suspect. If those are found to be ok, then my gut tells me to remove the retaining support finger , feel the face of the finger and look closely at the face of the finger with a magnifying glass...if it is burred it must either be replaced or polished out. It must also be replaced using the gapping tool supplied with your starter kit or the machine will not sew properly.

Hello,

For the past couple of days I've been having thread breaks occur on all needles. What happens is the thread starts to fray first then bunches up and then pops and breaks.

I've been on the phone with Melco support for 2 days and they've been very helpful. We have narrowed down the possibilities to the needle plate and rotary hook. There could be a nick in the plate or rotary hook. I tried to check with a magnifying glass but could not really see anything.

My question is, has anyone else had this problem or any suggestions.

Thanks Ben
