Not sure what part of the country you're in but all the tech's I know are extremely knowledgeable in both machine and sewing applications. Look at it this way, the money spent will not only be for solving this problem but you'll probably be heading off another problem or two in the future. Besides, If $200 is too much to spend, you're probably not charging enough for your work. You should be able to make two hundred in a day with one machine and if you've struggled with this problem for more than one day, well, I think you know what I mean. If you're still having issues, consider having someone on the list sew out YOUR design as you have created it. If it sews out fine on thier machine, then you know you have machine problems. If not, then that person might be able to change your design so that it might run better. REMEMBER THIS,... A good business must have 1)an accountant, 2)an attorney, & 3)a banker or someone to lend money. A good embroidery business must have those three plus one more,.. 4) a good tech/trainer. Best of luck to you, Ed Orantes =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
