Hi Wendy,
I shared your delima with Rod and his first question is what lock stitch are
you using on the lettering?  If not 5, try it if you have the capability.

design I'm sewing on a jacket back and I've had continual problems with the
trimmer not trimming completely at a trim. It's a thin nylon jacket with
jersey knit lining, full back design of an outlined dancer and lettering.
The lettering is the culprit. I'm using my large wooden rectangular hoop,
one pc. of light tearaway, material thickness of 5, 70/10 sharp (new) and
slowed the machine down to reduce flagging. I've tried other needles on the
machine and the same thing happens with this design. I have to babysit the
machine while it sews the lettering to make sure the trims happen. Everytime
I get an incomplete trim I have to pull a piece of thread that gets caught

didn't see anything on the trimmer. Any ideas on this. It seems I have this
problem when I sew on nylon fabric. I've got to sew three more jackets and
