Have you looked at the Babylock or Brother 6 needle machines. A step up from home embroidery (I run a business with mine), but not quite as large (read expensive) as the XT.

I'm thinking of buying an Amaya XT and need some advice if I'm doing the right thing or not. I have 3 home machines which all work fine, but I want a machine with a "jacket-back-size" field. I know the XT has a 16 x 19 (or thereabouts) size field and I realize it is an expensive machine for someone not doing a lot of selling. But I want to make large cross-stitch pictures andsplitting a design just doesn't work.My question is: Do you think this machine will accomplish what I want (30 to 50 color changes). I don't care about speed. I want quality and size. Would this machine be "too much machine" for a neophyte to handle? I'm not mechanically oriented,but then again this machine won't be running more than a few hours a week.Other than you probably think I'm just plain NUTZ, could you give me your opinions?Thanks, Stitcher =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
