I have a pattern that uses Rayon variegated thread. If I could get this thread in Poly, I would, but I can't. So I am stuck with Rayon. The fill starts on the outside and spirals in and then following the same path, spirals out. I am having a million thread breaks and my frustration level is way up there! I don't know what to do. I don't have this problem on other threads. I have changed the needle number thinking it is maybe just that particular needle - no change. It is breaking about every 20 or 30 stitches.
I have an XT with the presser foot setting at all the way down, but have tried it one up. I am doing a t-shirt with no-show iron stabilizer. I cut the speed down to 800 for this needle, but exactly the same thing - it didn't help even a little. Normal speed for the balance of the design is 1200. I am using auto actifeed.
Can anyone offer any suggestions at all? At the same time I am running this job (trying to run), I am doing hats of the same design on my Happy Voyager. The Rayon variegated is right on the seam and I have no thread breaks! It is time like these that I think having another Happy would be a very good idea, because even at a reduced speed, I'd get a lot more work done!
