[amayausers.com] Re: Amaya XT Machine

I was laid off a few weeks ago after 13 years at the same company.  I really 
don't want to do the computer thing anymore, it's way too stressful.  I think 
this is definately the way to go.  I have been in textiles/fiber on the side 
for almost 10 years, so it is definately a natural fit for me

Thanks for the response, this is a very friendly list.

  yes, you can do well.  It depends on how much you expect, or hope to make, 
though. It depends on what your other life activities are, if you are otherwise 
employed and how much energy that takes out of you each day.  There is a 
learning curve, but if you love textiles as I do, that is the fun part.  I get 
lost for hours working on my embroidery and designs..   I work out of my home 
and have dedicated 1 bedroom to the Embroidery office.  My son put in an extra 
electrical circuit or 2 (which was easy as that bedroom is adjacent to the 
garage)...to make sure I would have enough electricity (not that it takes that 
much, but my house is over 50 years old), and networked my 2 computers, Ms. 
Amaya, and my printer.  email me privately if you wish.  

  with respect to deliveries - I joined Embroidery Trade Association and signed 
up for a FedEX ground account with them.   - much more economical than the 
USPS, tracking numbers to boot!

  Best of Luck!

      Thanks for the quick response.  It's good to hear that you are able to 
work from your home and keep business profitable.  They say the hardest person 
to sell is yourself, and I'm very close to making the decision to go with it.

        Kathy,
        Without a doubt you can make a lot of money out of your home.  I joined 
the local chamber of commerce and from that have lots of Bank employees, real 
estate agents, contractors, insurance companies, radio station employees and 
even the chamber office manager.  I work 2 days at the local hospital and get a 
large number of stuff from that.  I have so much stuff waiting to be stitched 
out I really shouldn't be sitting here on this computer, but I do this while I 
eat.  I'll be in the shop tonight until 9-10.  The only problem I find not 
having a store front is delivering all this stuff when it's done.  But, I try 
to be a bit creative and have people meet me at the grocery store, or deliver 
stuff while out running errands, etc!  HTH

          I am new to the list.  I am looking at the Amaya XT on Monday, and 
would 
          like any informaction from people that have that machine.

          My plan is to get one machine to start and work out of my home.  I 
have an 
          Bernina with an embroidery unit that I've been doing some side work 
with for 
          the last few years.  I keep turning down work because my machine can 
not do 
          caps, jacket backs or larger items.  Is it possible to get enough 
work 
          without a store front to make a decent living?  I know that I will 
have to 
          go out and find customers, I have a lot of connections with small 
business 
          owners and plan to work that market.  I also have connections with 
horse and 
          dog clubs as well as local barns.

          Thanks in advance.
          Kathy
