Next, (with a brand new needle- not threaded) do a "bottom center" & check to make sure that the needle is "dead center" of the needle plate hole. If not loosen the screws that hold the needle plate on, adjust, and retighten. This should help with this issue. And if you are having lots of thread breaks after that, try using standard thread feed set at about 8 or 9 to start, instead of relying on auto- seems to help with caps. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
