I have been testing it for a few months now and it works great. You can
just put whatever garment you want on and it automatically detects the
thickness and changes the setting as it sews. It makes corners and places
where stitches tend to get thicker look more consistent, I get way less
thread breaks and my roller life has improved dramatically. I do notice
that sometimes on thinner items when the auto feature wants to set the MT at
1 or 2 I get some thread breaks. I don't think there is much out there that
sews at 1 or 2 very well.
Anyways, I have been dying to ask what others thought of this once it was
realeased but I can't mention anything in beta testing until it is realesed
by Melco :)

Hi Aaron,
Only in advanced tech training last week in Denver and it was awesome! We
will be on the road with a tech call and trip to Portland this week but
can't wait to get home and play with it more.
