I will speak just for myself as Sharon(my wife) has dabbled with home
embroidery for some time with machines like the Viking Designer 1. Prior to
the Amaya purchase I personally had not been involved with embroidery at any
level, except to wear some of the things that Sharon embroidery'ed....
The AMAYA is our first commercial machine. To answer the question about the
free training. Yes it was beneficial, but it as also extremely important to
take detailed notes as the amount of material that was covered, and covered
quickly over the 5 days, easily overloaded everyone in the class.
Even though the training is free, travel to and from, meals and lodging and
the time spent, add up to a considerable
investment in time and expense. You must have serious intentions on
opening and staying with the business from the very start to take advantage
of the training that was provided at the time we purchased the Amaya.
You are not just learning how to operate a machine but you are being exposed
to new software which must be learned to operate the Amaya proficiently. Not
doing so will lead to frustration beyond compare....
As you know we had one of the first machines and had some problems with it.
We took the machine back to Melco at the same time Tech Training was offered
to me. This machine was assigned to me to repair. What a neat experience
that was, to actually be able to tear the machine down, my machine, the one
that had been giving me fits over the last year was just great.
The first thing that I realized was that whatever is wrong with an Amaya,
and mine had several issues, can be fixed. I had my " red plastic moody
lady" as Ron Vinyard calls them, running like a Swiss watch when we left the
class.
This is getting too long, suffice to say that the training was valuable in
the beginning and later on because of my being kind of a techy person, the
tech training has been invaluable to me. I enjoy that part of the business,
being able to diagnosis and repair or train myself or other individuals in
the proper operation of the Amaya. The learning curve is slacking off a
little but I don't think it will ever end in this business....any training
is definitely better than none and an absolute must for some us just getting
into the field.
