MessageI am on the last two right now.
They ran just fine....but hooping them was a pain!
They are so thick at the brim ridge and when I clamp the visor bill it would
pull it toward the back of the frame, making the ridge of teeth underneath too
close to the sewing field. Not sure if that makes sense, I can't think of any
other way to describe it.
My hands hurt from hooping them...but they are done and I can move on!
4 dozen caps, 2 dozen visors, 3 dozen polos, and 3 dozen windshirts. Got 'er
done!! I'll be calling the golf course later today to pick everything up.
She ran like a champ!!!

LuAnn,
Just finished a gob of OTTO visors. The 1st thing I noticed was that when
hooping them the sweatband is thicker than those on regular caps. They are
tough to get under the little guide on the WACF. By starting at one side or the
other I was able to get them to slide under then I could slip them around to
get them centered. Sewing field in real small, keep this in mind. After I got
the 1st one hooped I noticed the retaining strap was not aligned very well, the
visor was pushed too far onto the WACF. I took the top of the visor and gently
pulled it back so the strap was even. Did not clamp the sides, just let them
float. Sewed 76 of them with no issues/lost goods. Hope this helps.

Is there a trick to hooping visors? They do not hoop as easily as a cap.
If anyone knows any tips, I sure would love to hear them!
Thanks...

Ed,
When my customers tell me all I have to do is put the shirt on and hit
start I just give a big grin and tell them "yeah, something like that". It
makes me chuckle :)

Debbie,
Whatever you do, know that embroidery is a trade that takes years
to get really good at. Not unlike many others. If you are on a fence (so to
speak), consider how much time you will be willing to devote to continued
training- not only this one training class you will be taking. And this
includes all those late nights spent sewing, tweaking, sewing, tweaking,
sewing, tweaking,.... if you know what I mean. We've had some customers of
ours comment .. "That's all you do.. push the green button and the machine does
all the work. How neat!" I wanted to go crazy at that point but I held back.
If you do wind up getting out of the business, I wish you luck in
what ever you decide to do.
Oh yeah, where are you located. Folks on the list will want to
know.
Take care,
Ed Orantes

Subject: [amayausers] Re: thead breaks
Hello to all!
My name is Debby and I own a home based embroidery business. I own
TWO Amaya machines bought in July 2003. This is my first "posting " to this
web site and I have been reading every posting trying to learn as much as I can
about the Amaya's. Although I own the equipment I have only recently started
trying to learn the embroidery side of the business. My partners were
responsible for doing the actual embroidery in the past and are no longer
involved in the business (sigh)...so it' pretty much a "one woman" show at the
moment.
I am trying to decide whether to sell the machines or to "learn the
trade" myself. I am absolutely OVERWHELMED by what I have to learn in order to
continue this business. So, if anyone is interested in acquiring my equipment
I would definitely consider the offer. I am scheduled to attend a training
session this week.
In the meantime...
I would like to know how I can tell if I have the newer hook
assembly that has been mentioned in this e-mail.
Secondly, I struggle with thread breaks on PIQUET shirts (60/40
blend). I can sew out the same logo on denim or backing or twill without a
problem but as soon as I try to put a simple two line text logo on this
particular shirt I have MULTIPLE thread breaks despite adjusting tension,
needle depth, changing needles, changing thread, etc.
I have not tried using Solvy on piquet...I'm going to try that next
to see if that helps.
Any suggestions on why I would have numerous thread breaks on a
piquet 60/50 blend shirt but not on another material would be most appreciated.
I have already learned a great deal from your postings. Thank you.
Perhaps one day I will be able to give back to the group.
Debby

I reduced my thread breaks by 90% when I changed the hook assembly.
It's amazing how much smoother it stitches now. Wish I had known to do it a
long time ago.
