You might try running the design thru the Stitch Proximity Filter. This has
helped me get rid of several pesky thread break spots. It is under
Tools/Filter/Proximity Filter. I usually like to set it to 1.7 instead of the
default 1.5. I also usually save the design, then save it as <file>-temp.ofm
before I run the filter. When you run the filter it changes the design to
expanded which makes it hard to edit afterword.

Well, I guess I still have not solved the problem with a different font because
I am still getting thread breaks and yet another tip broken off my NEW titanium
needles I just got the day before yesterday, but I do think that density is an
issue because the spots where the thread and or needle breaks is a very dense
part of the letter. What a pain the in the you know where. I am running
another font right now and so far so good but I can't even stand to be in the
same room as it sews out! I figure if I walk away and not watch, maybe things
will go better......hey! its done and no thread breaks! maybe I am in luck!
I have only been working on trying to figure this out for 5 hours now! ugh!

Darn!
I was hoping to here something glaringly wrong!
Sounds good to me.
I know that font sews down some small thin blocks
at the point where certain parts of the letters overlap
to keep the garment from showing through as the
2nd column pulls the threads back from the 1st column
as they overlap, With the block sewn underneath
it pulls back the column still but only shows the sewn
block underneath making the separation not noticeable.
I think they change in fonts is the best choice then once your job is
done and your hair grows back you can try to decipher what
the answer is.
Good Luck

I've run into problems before with fonts-at smaller sizes
things do go haywire-its trying to sew too many stitches into one area-around a
curve in the serif, etc.-that give you ulcers. Changing the font as you found
helps, otherwise you have to go in and play with moving stitches, changing auto
density, short stitches, etc. until it works. Okay for large quantity jobs but
when you are only doing 1 or 2 items it's easier to switch fonts and tell the
customer he loves it!

speed was 600......
font density was the default of 4.5..........and I
added a bit of column width (120%)
needles were new 70/10 sharps - (titanium) and I was
unable to go more than one to two letters before all hell broke loose.
Now, I've switched to CooperDak font.....same speed,
same density, same column width, same needles......no problems.
weird.

What you haven't told
us was the density you are using on that font
at .4 high?
and what speed is the machine running.
Nylon is very tight and heats up a needle very
quickly
making for hot soft needles that bend and break
easier.
Let us know.

scientific testing is now showing the
FONT to be part of the problem.
using CooperDak .4" letters sewing
out RHS letters........all is well through 6 sewouts on the nylon.
using Full Block .4" letters
sewing out RHS.......the needle just busted on the H. All 4 needle breaks
have been when using Full Block only.
I'm starting to suspect a problem in
density in the lettering of this font.

When we get the 'shredding' we run a
fingernail done the needle in question-and if there is a 'burr' you'll feel
your finger tip catch on it...and that means your needle is hitting on
something-either off center and hitting the needle plate, or your jacket is
hanging off the table and pulled the hoop as the needle went through-and the
needle hit the plate. Or someone repositioned the jacket as it was sewing or
(I've done this) accidentally hit the hoop arm bending over to get something...
doesn't take much at all to make that
needle go sidewise, just a hair and it will hit the plate underneath and cause
a 'burr' when the tip bends a little. That's what catches and unravels the
thread but it keeps on sewing....

I'm getting "partial" shredding
breaks......where it appears the inner core of the thread usually stays intact,
but the outer "shell" gets all knotted up in the needle case area...

Hi there. A couple of things to
try...more backing, as nylon is very light, and sew slow....and depending on
the type of thread breaks (clean breaks or shredding breaks), check needle
alignment, and add or subtract MT.
BEST WISHES!
