That can be part of your problem. The larger wooden hoops can flex quite a bit the further they get away from the center.The faster you run the machine the more the distortion. Your other problem is the cable tension itself. If you have not had your machine serviced in a while ,chances are that your X-cable has stretched. On the original Amayas "Big Reds" it it harder but not impossible to adjust yourself. If you feel you want to try making this adjustment give me a call and I'll be happy to walk you through it.
