I haven't even gotten it yet, but I stumbled across this group and am reviewing a bunch of stuff to get a feel for what I am in for! I am now looking at two issues: 1. I wonder if I should go to LA or Colorado for training, or is there anyone closer? (I'm in Bellingham, WA) 2. I want the slimline 2 system of hoops because of the apparent ease of use, and I want to try doing continuous looking border designs (like a wave or greek key along the edge of a sheet)... the slimline 2 system has a 12 x 9 that might work well for this application. I have done continuous designs on my home embroidery machines in the past. Anyway, thanks for all the great info everyone is sharing, Betsy Sauther =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
