        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.
