I don't digitize many things, really. I use a mix of threads...ARC, Maderia mostly. I have an XT. The needles are the same ones that came w/the machine and I'm using ballpoint right now on nylon. Auto feed does it's own thing, I've tried standard on about 5 or 6. Still getting breaks. Changed needles. This has happened w/me from the beginning of my "career", about 3 years ago. I just don't know what I'm doing or enough about the settings to tweak them. Thanks for all of the advice and suggestions... =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
