Dear all,
I too have been adapting to the new actifeed feature on my 2004 Amayas.
I had a Field Tech give me a little tip. He discovered in his shop, on
the older machines if you have some trouble with actifeed, with the
machine stopped, gently twill the thread sensor. This is only in
addition to all the other great info we've been given over the past few
weeks. It seemed to work for me.

Jimbo,
Does it work correctly on a flat good?
I think all of you are going to find different results with
Autoactifeed
depending on what you are sewing, and the designs, what backing, etc.
etc.
It may not work for everything you do. An older machine may adjust a
little
differently than a new machine. But, it should not go to a 2 and stay
there
either.
If you have a marginal thread break sensor, there will be problems as
well.
We have seen sensors that work fine when detecting thread or bobbin
breaks,
but are not sensitive enough for Auto Actifeed. Usually though, you will
see
problems on both flats and caps.
If the problems are on caps only, try looking at the cap driver
adjustments
and insure it is adjusted to the proper height for your machine. Also,
the
pressure foot can cause problems if it is down too far. The older
machines
it is best to have it up out of the way and the newer XT's the pressure
foot
is adjusted to the cap as you would do for a garment.

Subject: [amayausers] Questions about auto acti-feed
I just loaded the update with the auto acti-feed feature. I have heard
so
much hype about it that I just couldn't wait to get it and see this for
myself. I am haveing a little trouble though. I loaded the new CSA/RSA
file that Jeff Banks made available a few weeks back and it did seem to
help
a bit but the question I have is: Is there any specific way to set up
the
machine so that it gives the proper feed back to the program for the MT
adjustment? I was sewing hats and the MT was running at 2. It did not
change even as it went over the seam of the hat. The quality of the
sewing
was not good at all. I eventually set the program back to standard and
a MT
of 10 to sew these particular hats and things looked a lot better. I am
sure it is probally something that we are doing wrong, especially since
I
have read about so many of you out there really thinking this is a great
improvement.
Thanks for any imput that might help.
