    I just bought a Sapphire, the one below the embroidery machine. I noticed that the uplist bar has a small black attachment. It keeps the thread from jumping out. I am going to take my Diamond in and see if they can put the black gadget on it. I have to do lots of ripping with my embroidery machine because the thread jumps off and you have this gob underneath.

    I wanted the Sapphire because it has a scissor cutter and when I am quilting in the middle of the quilt I can cut the thread and change stitches or go to a different part of the block I am working on.

    If you thread the take up lever from left to right and use a thread net, it seems to help keep the thread from jumping out . I used to work for Husqvarna, I learned lots of tricks for making the machines work better.

    I have had Husquavarna embroidery machines ever since they
    came on the market I am on my third one. In fact I have ran an embroidery business for 12 yrs.
    My secret is that no matter what I am embroidering I pull up my bobbin thread at the start and hold both threads until it beeps for you to cut the thread, that keeps you from having a
    'birds nest' as I call the thread tangle underneath. It may take an extra minute but it sure has worked for me. Hope it helps you !

    That's a big help when embroidering too! I forgot about that one.

    My DH bought me the Sapphire 835 for Christmas last year. I love love love it. This present was my last horrah for a while until I get a new job or a job. I haven't had any problems with it. I clean it out regularly pull the bobbin case out and blow out the lint and such.

    I called the support line listed on the web site and was told my Diamond had to be sent in to get the black thing retro fitted takes 2 weeks! I don't know if I can do with out it that long.
