[amayausers] Re: Amaya not centering properly

Just curious, What OS are you using? I know in older software the hoop
limits were moved to account for the presser foot. I think they have been
moved back to center. This is 5.07.023. I hope this helps some.

I am NOT using the laser light to determine the center of the design. I sew
the design in the "center" according to the software (both Design Shop and
Amaya OS). Before I remove from the hoop I can see it is not on center,
check it with a protractor and ruler, it is off! Remove from hoop, take
measurements using the crease formed from the hoop for a more accurate
measurement, it is about 2MM off to the right and 2MM low. Bizarre....

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...
