First, I am so glad I have found this forum.  I have been using Amayas for the 
last month with no previous commercial experience and while I've had some 
training there is still a lot I don't know or understand.
I'm having three perhaps related problems:

1) We have frequent thread breaks.  This is in part due to the fact that we are 
using 100% cotton thread (and I'm in the process of replacing that, but I'm 
stuck with it til the end of the month).  BUT I can run several copies of the 
same design and same thread without a problem and then we start getting thread 
breaks all over the place.  I've replaced needles, changed which needle I was 
sewing on (as some seem to be worse than others) and changed bobbins.  Anything 
else to try?
2) Yesterday, my XT started skipping a lot of stitches.  It would go along 
doing satin stitch and then suddenly jump half an inch down the design, do a 
couple of stitches, jump again and then we'd have a thread break, bobbin break 
or get a big old tangle mess on the back of the work.  What the heck?  I'm not 
even sure where to begin troubleshooting that!
3) A bit after that, the left side of my satin stitch stopped catching the 
bobbin thread.  So I had a line of teensy straight stitches at the right hand 
side of the design and nothing on the left.  Ideas? Do I just need to call a 
tech?
