Charlie, Any chance you can upload a better video on how to set the loopers? I was having issues tonight. The machine would make a chain like a champ but as soon as put a patch on the machine the upper looper thread would break. Many times many times. I figured it was an adjustment issue. I tried to adjust the lower looper so that the point was slightly above the eye of the needle. This required an adjustment of the upper looper and when adjusting the upper looper it snapped in two.

"I do something similar with my MG-3U when merrowing patches. When I get back around to the starting point I overlap the beginning a couple of stitches and then with the needle up I slide the patch forward a bit to get the stitches off of the…"

MG-3U Tensions

Hi all, I'm new to this forum having just stumbled across it recently and am hoping I might be able to pick your brains to try and solve an ongoing problem I've been having. I purchased my MG-3U many years ago with the thought of making patches for the USAF (I'm in the USAF). I actually bought it before I bought my embroidery machine.
