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.
