[amayausers] Re: thread shrinking

After reading my own post, I may have confused some of you regarding the sequin attachment. It is not an "upgrade" but rather a separate attachment that hooks onto your machine. Actually, a tech will have to install it. Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I am sure it can go on our older Amayas as well as the new XT. I'm pretty sure I heard that when viewing it sewing.
