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

Subject: [amayausers] Re: thead breaks
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.
