I heard that plastic story too and it is not the case. To my knowledge the
only plastic is the red cover. The base is cast iron. It weighs almost 300
pounds so I don't know where they would have used any plastic. If they did,
it didn't save on the weight. The gears are not plastic either. I specifally
asked about that. I researched Barudan, Happy, Brother and Tajima and bought
the AMAYA. Money was not the deciding factor. We could have bought whatever
we wanted. The deciding factor was that the AMAYA is more computerised than
the others and much faster. It really does sew at 1200 to 1300 spm and up to
1500 spm on certain design elements. The others were 800 to 1000 at best.
That is about a 50% difference in real world speed. That means I can sew 3
items in about the same time others can sew 2. And it is a little less
money. Certainly Tajima and Baruden are good machines. If you are used to
them they may be the best bet. But speed, technology and support were the
major factors for us. Good luck.

I am buying a machine in the next few weeks. I love the Barudan Elite Pro,
but the price is pretty steep. The other machines are a lot less expensive.
The Barudan has the 12X20 field. So the Amaya is our close counterpart. So
I need to know the good bad and ugly about the Amaya, and please be honest.
Email me privately at plrichard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx . I have heard that the
machine is more plastic, and the moving parts are plastic, and may not stand
up to wear. Also that thread breaks are pretty common. When I saw the
demo, they had all kinds of problems with commercial designs, and the
outline didn't even stitch correctly. I think that the machine they were
using had problems. Also I want to know about support. Have you needed it,
and were they there in a good timeframe. I am not trying to bash AMAYA...
not at all.. just want to make sure I am getting what I want. it is a big
investment. ALso any of you have more than one interfaced, and what do you
think???? I really appreciate this.... since I have to make this decision
for 3 people, and they are counting on me getting the right machine for them
too......Pat
