Instead, respond to the thread on the WEBSITE by clicking here: http://www.amayausers.com/boards/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?/topic/2/1257.html I have a fsl design that has metallic thread being used as small flower outlines. I can sew it ok on my voyager but my amaya doesn't care at all for it. I have tried different backing, giving up on the vilene for the amaya and going to a 2 piece backing of mesh, changed the needle and I still get maybe 3 stitches and then the thread breaks. It is slowed down to 800, pressure foot all the way down, 80/12 needle, so my conclusion is that maybe I need to change the density for the amaya. Its already set to 11.7. Any suggestions as to what to change it to?
