No, Andy, nnnnnnoooooooo!!!!!
I started out on a Singer XL1000. I thought I knew it all. HA! The Amaya is
one great piece of machinery and does take a learning curve.
There is a really great wash-away stabilizer that looks like paper. Are you
using this? I use two layers under and one on top when doing towels.
I find that unless I'm using high quality towels,there is a lot of space
between the threads under the loops, and that can make for some interesting
results.
Is your bobbin set correctly? Is the thread feeding through the machine and
through the groove under the roller correctly?
Try slowing the machine down from the normal 1200 per minute to 1000 per minute
and see if that helps.
Be certain when you hoop the towel and stabilizer have the tension of a drum
head. Hoop your towel without a top stabilizer and drag your finger across the
top. If you come up with a wrinkle on the other side, it's not tight enough.
After hooping, is your outer hoop tight enough to hold the towel without
allowing movement?
There are a lot of things to look at and check, and you will be SO GLAD you
went through the learning curve. My Silver Surfer is a joy. We've been
together for seven and a half years now, after my Big Red (original Amaya)
decided she'd rather be back where she came from.
Devote one towel to repeated stitch outs, and play, play, play with different
stabilizers, bobbin adjustments, hooping methods, stabilizer types. It will
work!
