Hello all, I've been lurking around here for a while - We're a Brother shop, and overall I'm quite happy with the machines we have. I've also very interested in the Amaya - we're considering doing dance shows, etc. and there are a lot of machines out there that are portable, but I was considering the Amaya as a dual role investment - start with a single, then have the ability to add as other production needs increase. I know that listening on the list, I may be getting a view biased towards problems, so I guess I'd be interested in others true feelings about the machine - has anyone used it as a portable machine? Has anyone gone from a single to a multiple head operation? If you don't want to clog the mailing list with replies - I have an embroidery forum where I'd love to get more traffic (started off with a bang, then hasn't been much activity in the last month). Anyway, the forum is: http://personalizedmementos.com/v-web/bulletin/bb/index.php Direct email is fine as well. Thanks for your ear, Cheers, mark --- Mark Halloran Personalized Mementos 843 Wood Ave. Kirkwood, MO 63122 (314) 821-1633 - mhalloran@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.personalizedmementos.com --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
