Hi Bob:
Your points are all valid (and good stuff as well!) but I think you are
missing Veena's point - this machine does not operate in the same way
traditional embroidery machines do. Understanding how it works - what it's
strengths are - how accurate it is, and the high speeds and precision it is
capable of can lead to better produced designs that will run exceptionally
well on the Amaya. The same design that runs great on the Amaya, might just
run OK on other machines out of the box.
Anyhoo, I think we have exausted this topic ;)

Hi Veena
It is not uncommon for stock designs to require editing in order to produce
a quality stitchout ..... regardless of the brand of machine used. Many
stock designs will benefit from things like reduced densities, removal of
short stitches, adjustment to stitch lengths, etc.
The fact that your Amaya will run better after editing a Dakota design is
not really an indication of a design being made specifically for the Amaya
but instead just good practice when using stock designs regardless of the
brand of machine used. Properly editing a stock design will mean that the
design will run better on an Amaya, Tajima, Barudan, Toyota, SWF, Happy, or
any other machine which someone may be using.
We have been embroidering / digitizing for a number of years and have
never used a stitch density of 3.2 If using 60 wt. thread with a for
very small lettering, I might increase density to 3.8 but that is it.
Virtually all embroiderer's will be using a 40 wt. thread [poly or rayon]
and I believe that a density range of 4.5 - 5.0 is what will normally
produce the best quality designs. If coverage is not sufficient in this
density range then often adjustments to underlay stitching, stitch lengths
and/or stitch direction is a better choice [instead of increasing density].
A good quality design should "flow" with the garment, not "bullet proof"
it. I believe that excessive stitch density is often compensation for poor
digitizing .... which in turn, results in a poor quality stitchout.
Have a great weekend
Bob
