Use the backing combinations that the others are suggesting and then set the
machine to standard thread feed. Autofeed will be too tight for the loose weave
of the afghan blanket. Start with very low bobbin tension, 6 inches drop when
checking. Then increase the thread feed setting until you start to get false
thread or bobbin breaks and back it down a few points. If the afghan is like
some of mine I would start with the thread feed at 10 or 12 and adjust from
there (probably up). Definitely use both backing and topping.
The Amaya machine is capable of sewing at very low tensions and that is what
you want to prevent distorting the weave of the afghan.
