Hey Rod,

Yes you are correct the sequin attachment will be
available for the current XT & previous Amaya model.
Marc Davis & I worked with the new sequin attachment & it worked
great at the ISS Long Beach Show & it was a hit.
Also yes, a certified trained Amaya technician will have to install it.  
To program the sequin stitches you will have to use Design Shop 2006
software to accomplish this. Not too sure if any previous versions of 
Design Shop will work? Jeff Banks would know.

  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.
