We've moved our Amaya several times, in the back of a small pickup and in the back of a Jeep Cherokee. When we used the Jeep, I had to remove the thread station, just cut all of the threads, pull them out, pull the nylon tubing off of the back of the Amaya, and unscrew, actually, if I remember correctly, just loosen them, and the thread tower will slip off. I always covered the Amaya with a blanket or something similar to try and keep dust off of it. It is a 2 man job because the thing does weigh about 130 pounds off of the cart. When you reassemble it, remember to follow the numbering of the threads to the needles. Thanks! Thomas E.

I was not actually there when the amaya was delivered (my partner was there). And now I've got transport the Amaya back to the home, and let's just say my relationship with the old business partner is very stressed (i.e. I'm not getting any help in any way on this, no tips or suggestions either). Any suggestions on transporting the amaya? Should I rent a Uhaul? My brother has offered his suburban, but I measured today and the Amaya (standing on its wheels) is way to tall for the suburban. Is the machine easy to break down and make shorter to put in the suburban? I also have a flat bed truck that may be available. But I'm thinking the easiest guarantee is to pony up the cash for the 1 day Uhaul rental. Any advice appreciated. Also, will three able bodied (i.e. workout / lift weights etc.) men be able to get it moved properly?
