I should also mention that those of you who have heard over the years that
balanced bobbin thread tension looks like 1/3 color, 1/3 bobbin, 1/3 color
thread when viewing satin stiches on the underside of the garment,.....
Well this only applies to those Conventional machine I spoke of above.
The Amaya machine won't produce this pattern consistently because the Auto
Acti-Feed is constantly changing all the while you are sewing.
But who really cares what the underside looks like as long as the top side
looks great? Right??
And for those of you who want the underside of the garment to look like the top
side, well now you'll have to go into the thread feed settings and monkey
around with the adjustments to control what the top thread does. For most
embroiderers, factory default settings will work just fine.
PS> If you find that the Amaya produces less viewable bobbin thread on the
underside of the garment, this will be common. Not that it matters, but pound
for pound, bobbin thread costs more than top thread so you're saving a little
money here not to mention the less bobbin thread that is used, the more
garments you can sew with one spool of bobbin (fewer frequent bobbin changes).
Just a little "FYI".
