For me, this usually means the needle needs to be replaced or repositioned.

Subject: [amayausers.com] Thread fraying and breaking problem



Can anyone offer an explanation of why I am breaking thread?  I have a 
design with 14,500 stitches in a 2.7 diameter design.  I have run the design 
on pique shirts without many problems.  I also ran the design on a 3 season 
jacket with a fleece lining.  I had an occasional thread break but completed 
36 garments.  I then tried running on a 14 oz fleece pull over and had 
nothing but trouble.  I have 2 Amayas and both experienced the same thread 
breaking problem.  I tried material thickness from 8 to 12, changed needles 
several times and tried speeds from 700 to 1,100.  I could only stitch 50-75 
stitches before the thread frayed and then broke.  The fleece was covered 
with solvy and backed with 2 layers of stabilizer.

 What do you think is the problem and how do I solve the fraying thread 
problem?  I have 15 pullovers to complete.
