A design will stitch out fine, then all of a sudden, I spend the next 2000 stitches starting, stopping, checking etc. then it'll go about it's business, then do it again. I will start another round, same design, and it may make it through or it may do the same. It happens on a lot of my slim line designs, I'm noticing, b/c it's a bear to check the bobbin every 10 stitches. I've turned the sensors off and it works like a charm, then next thing I know, thread is everywhere b/c it didn't detect something real. Any reason why this happens that I can't figure out? I appreciate this forum so much...I'm in my 2nd year of this and there are days I wonder why I don't just roll this big red machine right off my front porch. I just discovered you all w/in the last 4-5 months, so you've helped me maintain. I don't offer suggestions myself b/c I'm so new and still figuring things out. Are there other forums like this th at help, as well? Is it worth it to belong to the one that you pay each month, I believe it's Joyce . =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
