Anand, I have used coats, madeira nebs and just about any others you can think of. My favorite by far are the NEBS plasticc sided bobbins. They leave very little debis behind, sew all the way until empty and just work great. Its not recommended to use sideless bobbins on the AMAYA but I am sure some people do. The coats paper sided ones work fine too but the NEBS are the best. Of course this is MY opinion, nothing more and nothing less :) Aaron Sargent The Linen Barn linen@xxxxxxxxxxx 541-770-2957 Medford, OR ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kesavan" <kesavan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <amayausers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, April 10, 2006 3:09 PM Subject: [amayausers] Re: Help!!! > Thanks Jeff/Roland, > > With this group going I dont think I will have qualms about buying more > Amayas. > > I did a 100K Jacket back yeterday while doing my accounts.
