Very rarely will it 'stay' on the high speed you set. If you are having problems like you mentioned, you can change the speed 'on the fly' with the keypad-drop it down 100 spm at a time and watch. Once the breaks stop, that's the optimum speed for that material/design. I have very rarely seen our Amaya run constantly at one speed-even some items I set at 1400...it only hits that on a long satin border, or a large fill area. It isn't set in the design-unless you use 'sew by color' and manually enter speeds for each needle/color. It is built into the operating system itself. Not being a computer geek, that's the best way I can explain it as a tech told me. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
