[amayausers] Re: Amaya not centering properly

  Paul,
  Question.  Are you using the laser light to center the design in the hoop
?

  I recently went to tech training in Denver and boy, did I learn a lot of
really interesting stuff about these machines.

   The laser light, if relied on to find absolute center in the design can
cause a problem IF it is not in the proper adjustment. Even when it is
adjusted properly for center on flat stitching, trying to use it to trace a
perfect stitch outline dosen't pan out either. This is especially true when
using the hat driver because of the curved surface. The laser light gets you
very close but can't be relied on it to be absolutely perfect...
