830 embroidery issues
I recently bought an expert 830 with the hat attachment.
The design I am working on uses 5 colors so I have 5 needles setup. I am using Madera thread, Origon 80/14 Teflon coated needles and Magic Headwear hats. The machine will sew the first two colors with no issues, it did have to adjust the thread tightness and change thread a few times because of shredding, on the third color the pattern starts to sew just fine, but about half way around the hat it starts to skip stitches. I am sewing a satin stitch in a circular pattern as a border around a design. I have tried new needles, new thread, adjusted the tension on the bobbin, on the thread, cleaned, and oiled the unit with no luck.
I have even tried to change to one of the other needles and it does the same thing. If I try to sew with the first or second needle with the first colors, it works fine. I am thinking it maybe something to do with timing, but I don't know how to check.
Does anyone know what might be going on? Thanks in advance.
