This is my "lemon" machine again. The threads in the design (different colors so not just one thread or needle) are shredded on top - so the embroidery looks hairy or fuzzy. I've tried changing needles and changing to new spools of thread but there's no difference. Thanks in advance.

Here's 3 things that have caused it for us over the past 4 years...
#1- behind the bobbin-I'm not a tech, but the spinning knife? or something...Tech took it apart, found nicks in it (from broken needle) and I used my talents from silversmithing to totally take them out and high polish it-fixed it.
#2-needle not at the right 'angle' twist in the needle bar. It's really fussy-not enough or too much and the thread rubs in the bobbin somewhere and 'frays' out on you. Check your 'rotation' angle on the needles. Easy way-look at a needle that NEVER frays and match the rotation of that one.
#3-'Center Needle' alignment-your needle 'plate' isn't dead center-off just a half a hair-and the thread rubs against it and shreds. I might think that if ALL your threads are fuzzy-this is where to start, and take it off, use a magnifier and see if there are 'scratches' from bad needle in the hole! -
Thanks for answering on a Sunday evening. I will try from 3 to 2 - I have no idea what to do about number 1 by myself.Comment
