I typed my question late last nightand did not realize I had put 1500, I never sew that fast either. 1200 or less for flats and 900 or less for hats, but I get vibration if I'm sewing at the lowest speed possible. Most of my thread breaks are being caused by the thread unwinding off the cone/spool and geting caught underneath the cones/spools before it even gets to the needles. My Amaya is a big red. It is perfectly level, I checked that at least one a week. Not sure why this is happening but will let you know if the heavy clamps do the trick. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
