Wow, there is a lot to consider.
Ok. Here goes;
1.Thread: Melco Brand.
2. Needles: All Organ Brand not Titanium. All 75-11BP except Needles 1,2 which
are 65-9 Sharp for hats and Needle 16 which is 65-9 BP for small designs/fonts.
3. Presser foot height is set according to the garment.
4. Speed is typically at 900 however, depending on garment, design, etc is may
be slowed down.
5. The design in question that this started with was digitized by someone other
then my digitizer and I have some problems with the smaller font but not
always. The design is not dense.
6. Material for this design are chef coats and backing is tear away.
7. Nick or Burr: Can?t see a nick on the support finger and not sure what a
Burr is. There does seem to be a very slight nick on the needle plate (not very
bad).
8. Machine Lubrication: Machine was just lubricated except for the Red and
Yellow Rollers since I need to replace a few and waiting for parts. (However,
there are no noticeable cuts or grooves on the rollers.)
9 Bobbin Tension is correct.
10. Humidity: SUPER DRY.
11. Rotary Hook Lub: I do not oil that daily. Usually I wait for the pop up to
appear in OS or if I notice I need oil then I put a drop on the hook.
One thing I did notice as I was going thru my spread sheet on needle
replacement is that some of my needle including needle 14 which was having the
problem with the design in question is that the needle hasn?t been replace in a
long time. I do not know how long a needle is supposed to last but my records
show that some of my needles have not been replaced in some time.
My only problem is that after I did replace needle 14 the thread breaks
continued with the design. I will do some more tests on that needle as well as
the rest. I am currently sewing as I write and knock on wood no problems.
If there are any other suggestions till replacement parts come I would
appreciate it.
