No....The Amaya's, do "rock and roll" a bit, and are suppose to, sitting on their stands. This helps to absorb hard viration being transfered to other more sensitive areas of the machine, like the mother board, for example. If the thread tree is vibrating, are the thread spindles loose? What type of thread are you using? Some cones have larger holes and are not held as tightly on the spindles and will bounce around more. Is the machine sitting on a hard floor or on carpet? This can also cause either more or less "rock and roll." A qquick fix is to put a soft foam donut up inside the thread cone and then slip this down over the spindle to keep the cones from rattling around and unwinding the thread. Some brands of thread are more prone to unwinding than others too....... But , heavy duty clamps, weight it down, naw...I would not advise this as a solution to this particular problem....
