Hi Tom, The Amaya is different from other commercial machines on the market because it "pushes" the thread out (that is what the rollers and sensors are all about and the amount of thread pushed out is governed by the material thickness you set. Other commercial machines have all the tension knobs to control the tension for each needle. That is why the Amaya can sew much faster. Other machines "pull" the thread by the bobbin like a sewing machine. If our thread is too tight, we give it more material thickness by increasing the number. Hope this makes some sense for you.
