I know once we got the auto tension and program to work right, and the machine fine tuned...it worked 'okay', and then when Rod showed me the minimum stitch setting, the hats I did last week went as smoooooth as butter-right over a multiple seam on full 'constructed' hat with backing besides that! =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
