MessageEd,
When my customers tell me all I have to do is put the shirt on and hit start I
just give a big grin and tell them "yeah, something like that". It makes me
chuckle :)

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,

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.
