Hi All,
This last weekend, my rayon thread pops out of the groove of the Thread Feeder Roller covers while it is embroidering making the thread lose tension, create bird's nests and stop the machine for a thread breakage error. This is happening on Needles 1, 2 and 4 right now. The Madeira rayon thread on 1 and 2 I just got new last week. The thread on Needle 4 is a few years old. I could be running anywhere between 650 or 1,000 spm and the thread still will pop out and slide to the left under the red pinch rollers.
I cleaned the both the red pinch rollers and thread feeder rollers with alcohol. That seemed to help a bit, but not totally eliminate the problem. Consequently, I had to watch the thread feeders like a hawk and try to stop the machine when threads pop out (about every 500 stitches or so). The red pinch rollers are showing a light beige stripe down the center where it comes in contact with the thread. I didn't have the problem when I started using the thread the first 1-2 days.
The Amaya XT is relatively new (got it last May and it currently has a Z Run Time of 40:32:28). I even did the 4,000,000 Stitches/Revolutions maintenance on it the first day I had it because Amaya OS told me to. That removes, cleans and lubricates the thread rollers. I thought that was odd for a new machine, but the Melco Tech said it wouldn't hurt and I would learn anyway.
Can anyone please let me know if there is anything else I can do to fix this problem?
Thanks!
Ed
