I am still pretty new to this machine, but I have been doing some research on thread breaks and maintenance and I feel I have everything set up properly. I'm trying to do a tight satin stitch (density of 2.0) on sequin-dot fabric, using two sheets of cutaway backing, and on certain designs and I am getting a lot of thread breaks. I'm using madeira thread and 75/11 PD needles. Does this sound like a maintenance issue or should I change my thread/needles to better suit the fabric? Thanks! =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
