Hi Edna!
Thank you for your e-mail...I am definitely planning on going to
training but haven't yet decided WHEN or WHERE to go (I was told they
also do training in Ca. and Atlanta, Ga.) IF Melco offers training in
Atlanta, then I have relatives in Atlanta that I can stay with.
However, I want to go SOON but can't go before October. I've been out
of town for the last week so I apologize on the late reply!

Hi Debra,

Thank you Jack and Ed for your replies!
I can really identify with what you said Jack...I really enjoy
interacting with the customers and since I was responsible for
delivering the finished orders to our customers, it was always fun to
see how excited they were about the garments that we had finished for
them. In truth, I didn't think about the fact that my partners rarely
got to see that side of the business since they pretty much handled just
the production side.
At any rate, I attended the training seminar here in Houston and
I learned enough to help me make up my mind that I am going to attend
the formal training offered by Melco and try to continue this business
on my own. With the tips that Melco provided to me at the seminar I was
able to resolve the thread break issues on the piquet shirt I was
struggling with prior to attending the seminar.
Thanks again for the words of support and encouragement!

I guess just about everyone in this business has had
make that decision- whether to go on or do something else. Embroidery
does satisfy that creative urge I think most of us have. But then there
is that "WOW" factor. Customers see their job and they get that big grin
on their face and look at you like its Christmas morning. I have to
admit I am in it for the WOW factor. I get real joy in being able to
make someone's day. For me it is 99% about being of service. And I make
a little money too.
It sounds like you may have been abandoned by your
friends. It must feel real hollow inside having to make a business
decision and not knowing all you need to know. But if you decide to
stay, there are several dozen people on this list who have been there,
done that and have the polo shirt. And very few of us are bashful. You
can ask any question be it dumb or profound. Someone here has an answer
or knows someone else who might. You are welcome here and we will help.

Debbie,
Whatever you do, know that embroidery is a trade
that takes years to get really good at. Not unlike many others. If you
are on a fence (so to speak), consider how much time you will be willing
to devote to continued training- not only this one training class you
will be taking. And this includes all those late nights spent sewing,
tweaking, sewing, tweaking, sewing, tweaking,.... if you know what I
mean. We've had some customers of ours comment .. "That's all you do..
push the green button and the machine does all the work. How neat!" I
wanted to go crazy at that point but I held back.
If you do wind up getting out of the business, I
wish you luck in what ever you decide to do.
Oh yeah, where are you located. Folks on the list
will want to know.
Take care,
Ed Orantes

Hello to all!
My name is Debby and I own a home based
embroidery business. I own TWO Amaya machines bought in July 2003.
This is my first "posting " to this web site and I have been reading
every posting trying to learn as much as I can about the Amaya's.
Although I own the equipment I have only recently started trying to
learn the embroidery side of the business. My partners were responsible
for doing the actual embroidery in the past and are no longer involved
in the business (sigh)...so it' pretty much a "one woman" show at the
moment.
I am trying to decide whether to sell
the machines or to "learn the trade" myself. I am absolutely
OVERWHELMED by what I have to learn in order to continue this business.
So, if anyone is interested in acquiring my equipment I would definitely
consider the offer. I am scheduled to attend a training session this
week.
In the meantime...
I would like to know how I can tell if I
have the newer hook assembly that has been mentioned in this e-mail.
Secondly, I struggle with thread breaks
on PIQUET shirts (60/40 blend). I can sew out the same logo on denim or
backing or twill without a problem but as soon as I try to put a simple
two line text logo on this particular shirt I have MULTIPLE thread
breaks despite adjusting tension, needle depth, changing needles,
changing thread, etc.
I have not tried using Solvy on
piquet...I'm going to try that next to see if that helps.
Any suggestions on why I would have
numerous thread breaks on a piquet 60/50 blend shirt but not on another
material would be most appreciated.
I have already learned a great deal from
your postings. Thank you. Perhaps one day I will be able to give back
to the group.
Debby

I reduced my thread breaks by 90% when I
changed the hook assembly. It's amazing how much smoother it stitches
now. Wish I had known to do it a long time ago.
