Older machines such as the EMT and EMC models would back up 10 stitches but due to the Amaya's faster speeds, it's possible to need more stitches to go over the messed up area. WITH THAT SAID... As the operator, you may still have to go beyond the automatic 15 stitches to pick up where you need to for a smooth looking stitch. Now, if you happen to stop the machine because YOU see that the thread has broken BEFORE the machine senses it, the machine will stop in it's tracks and wait for you to "frame back" to the next starting point. I hope this helps.
