Thanks to each and every one of you for your assistance over the last few months. I have gone from a home embroidery machine to a slightly used Amaya with your help. I can't afford the time away or the tuition and travel expenses for training and I don't dare spend the money for Design Shop Pro at this time in my life. I may have to end up selling the machine. I may have overlooked it, but I do not find a reference in the manual as to where and how to lubricate the rollers. I'm beginning to have more thread breaks and believe the rollers are the issue at this point. I looked at the archives but I didn't find anything on the first two pages. My husband is terminally ill. I don't know how long he'll last. That is pretty much up to his will to live. He was given up 7 years ago - but lived in spite of everything. We were about to put this house on the market and move 30 miles from here to a rural setting. I was laid off in October, found another job and gave that up when I needed to be home more than I needed the money. I don't dare make another major financial expenditure at this point in time. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
