Andy,
The Amayas do have a learning curve to them. Running a fully computerized Amaya
vs the old school tension knob style does take some understanding of how the
machine functions. The auto acti-feed selects the proper material thickness for
you. Standard acti-feed demands that you select the material thickness
manually. Before auto active-feed existed, a 3 material thickness was the
default for something like broadcloth .
When using auto acti-feed, you can go into Settings, Threadfeed and find the
"Auto Lower Limit" tab box. This tab will allow you to program the auto
acti-feed to never go below a specific material thickness. Default on this is
usually 1, but if you select too high of a number, you may start experiencing
false threadbreak issues because the machine will be throwing too much thread
and is loosing contact with the thread break sensor.
Presserfoot height, for 99% of your sewing should be at its lowest position or
up one or two clicks, depending on what you are sewing on. My rule of thumb is
to run it as low as I can "as" long as the foot is not leaving a footprint on
or damaging the fabric.....velour, velvet, leather, etc....
Properly digitized designs are a must. Learning to edit designs for densities
pull comp, stitch lengths and column widths is also a must to be really
successful.
For newbies, it is always best to acquire some training from a certified
trainer on the Amayas. It can save you a lot of time and frustration. Not
saying you cannot do it on your own, but either classroom training or better
yet, bringing in an on-site trainer to give you focused one on one training
will speed up the learning curve
