Back when the first Amayas came out, the software we started with was Version 4.00.xxx. With Ver 4--5--6-- whenever a cap driver was selected in the hoop section, a popup immediately came up that instructed you to "disable" the bobbin detect. This was just part of the cap sewing process. Somewhere in either the Ver 6 or 7 this popup no longer came up...my mind is a bit fuzzy on just when...doesn't matter. The point is, this use to a normal thing to do. Now that more information has been supplied, it makes more sense as to why the tech said to disable the bobbin detect. As Herb has indicated, in Tools, Settings, this can be turned off and on at your conveinence, and yes when it is turned off you do have to babysit the machine, altho you can utilize the "Bobbin Counter" tool to stop the machine after a certain stitch count of your choosing...
