The first job I ran was full back jackets. They were taking 1 1/2 hours on the 4 head and 36 minutes on the AMAYA which saved me 2 1/2 hours for every dozen jackets. My tech is here now (Kevin Wasik rocks) and we just setup and ran hats on all 3 XT's at 1200 SPM. Ran one of my more difficult helicopter logging designs with 12k stitches and out of all 3 had only 2 thread breaks which I average at least 1 thread break per run on my Tajima 2 head. There is a learning curve going from a conventional machine to the AMAYA so if you do make the trade I would strongly suggest going to training ASAP on the AMAYA. I have run conventional machines for 10 years now and the switch to the AMAYA 4 years ago was a learning curve but one you have it down you will see your production increase alot. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
