Re: [amayausers] Re: needles and thread breaks on nylon jacketBarbara,
Be sure that your short stitches are turned off when doing smaller
lettering as a rule of thumb. Also increase your density when going to
smaller lettering. If you are unsure as to the proper density, choose "auto
density".
If your needle is breaking, either something is getting in the way of
the needle or the needle is going down at an angle it's not supposed to do
and is hitting something on the edge of the needle path. That is unless
something is causing "Needle Deflection" such as top thread tension that is
too tight or stitching in the design that is way too dense.

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!
