Hi Ed,
I'm leaving tomorrow (Tuesday) afternoon and will leave Plano Thursday after
the workshop is over. You live in Louisiana, this is not on your way as I'm
just west of Houston. I would so love for you to check it out, but can't
ask that of you as I'm pretty far out of your way. But I appreciate the
offer! If any of you on the list are ever in the area, please feel free to
stop by, visit or stay a while! I'm just a call away!

Edna,
If you are/were going to go to the Plano, Tx. seminar, when would
you be
leaving? I will be on the road and could possibly swing by your place
however time would be very limited as the class is on Wednesday. Oh I
should mention I'm a technician and also own three Amayas myself for three
years.
Give me a call.

Hi all,
Well, I thought all the kinks were worked out with my machine. Had it a
whole 5 weeks now and still have not been able to sew out anything to make a
buck. After sewing out 6 samples (yeah, it took that many) to make sure
that my threads, stabilizers, lettering density, etc, etc. were just right
for an order for my kids' orthodontist & his staff. I kept getting frays,
changed needles, changed threads, changed stabilizers, densities, and
everything else I could think of. The last sew out was fair, only frayed
twice and I had to stand over the machine to catch the incomplete trims. On
the small lettering, it didn't fray or break, but the final trim was
incomplete. I had to stitch the lettering at 550 to 600 stitches per
minute. Well, put the first lab coat in, the thread frayed, missed multiple
trims, looped in several places; I wasn't about to "unstitch" it so I
continued until it finished. Stitched the small lettering with some
fraying, and on the final trim, it didn't cut all the way through, even
though I added another just in case. I had to turn it over and pull the
loops to the back. I'm not impressed with the result at all. Hope I don't
have to replace the coat, don't know where he got it. And I'm not touching
the expensive shirts he wants done as long as this machine is doing this.
The tech was here about 10 days ago and replaced the knife as well as making
adjustments, then I didn't use it for about a week due to my shoulder
surgery. It did fairly well for about a day, then started it's messing up
again. No change in fabric, design or anything else. I'm so frustrated I
could scream, feeling like I might have made a mistake? Like I should have
kept my Toyota? Could I have gotten the only lemon in existence these days?
My concern is I can't have the tech here every week, need to get some work
done, and the 90 day thing has about 50 days left. Anybody got any
suggestions? I've been embroidering for years, double checking my hooping
since I got the Amaya as well as the presser foot height, tension, etc.
BTW, the symptoms get even worse when I try to use sticky stabilizer, so the
fast frames set I got is a waste at this point. Is anyone able to use
these? I'm really at my wit's end, have no idea what to do now. I wanted
to drop these off tomorrow afternoon when I took my son for his braces, but
looks like it's not gonna happen. Was planning on going to Plano this week
for workshop, but wondering if I should bother, I'm so upset. Thanks for
letting me vent and Thanks in advance for any advice.
