I've been out for quite a while, but exchanged my Big Red for the new XTS last October. I haven't had any time to work with it, but now I am trying to embroider some wool gabardine for a jacket. Was using fusible mesh with solvy on top as I need the fabric to remain drapeable to make a jacket. My problem is that at first the machine was missing a trim here and there, but now it does not trim at all. I removed the needle plate 3 times, made sure I cleaned everything well, removed and cleaned the trimmer assembly, oiled everything and checked to center the needle plate correctly. Still no luck. The design I am doing has a lot of trims and I'm having to stop the machine for every trim and do them by hand. Using 80/12 needle, which I just changed to a 75/11 (have not tried yet) and embroidering with Gunold Silk thread. Any help would be greatly appreciated! =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
