knowledge helps
Spent about a hour last night on Threads concerning breaking threads. Found some who had similar machine and similar problems. Wrote down various tips. Today I was going to drag machine back to town. Made practice sandwiches, started with tension 3, marked where thread broke. Moved up the tension, changed threads, repeated again. Third time different thread and was up to 4.5 tension. Viola!! The sweet spot..so far so good.. board members rock.....still have some hair left on my head......
