Aaron,
Oh for sure, we get a good laugh as well followed by a heavy
sigh. We think back to how much we have learned from when we got
started. It is true that the early years are the toughest.
Debbie,
Following what Jack said, I wish I could do it for the
enjoyment but that's not the part I play. My wife is in the shop most
of the time and we have employees that do the sewing for us so that my
wife can focus on management stuff. I, on the other hand, have to
handle things like: bills, machine repairs and maintenance, lease,
utilities, crazy customers, etc... Not to mention I'm on the road a
lot fixing other people's machines too. So it really has become a
business for us as opposed to an upstaged hobby. There are times I wish
we were still working out of our house.
But don't get me wrong, I do like this business. I'm just
glad I have a partner to assist with the majority of decision making.
As Jack said, any way we on the list can be of assistance, just say so.
Ed

Ed,
When my customers tell me all I have to do is put the
shirt on and hit start I just give a big grin and tell them "yeah,
something like that". It makes me chuckle :)

Debbie,
Whatever you do, know that embroidery is a
trade that takes years to get really good at. Not unlike many others.
If you are on a fence (so to speak), consider how much time you will be
willing to devote to continued training- not only this one training
class you will be taking. And this includes all those late nights spent
sewing, tweaking, sewing, tweaking, sewing, tweaking,.... if you know
what I mean. We've had some customers of ours comment .. "That's all
you do.. push the green button and the machine does all the work. How
neat!" I wanted to go crazy at that point but I held back.
If you do wind up getting out of the
business, I wish you luck in what ever you decide to do.
Oh yeah, where are you located. Folks on
the list will want to know.
Take care,
Ed Orantes

Subject: [amayausers] Re: thead breaks
Hello to all!
My name is Debby and I own a home based
embroidery business. I own TWO Amaya machines bought in July 2003.
This is my first "posting " to this web site and I have been reading
every posting trying to learn as much as I can about the Amaya's.
Although I own the equipment I have only recently started trying to
learn the embroidery side of the business. My partners were responsible
for doing the actual embroidery in the past and are no longer involved
in the business (sigh)...so it' pretty much a "one woman" show at the
moment.
I am trying to decide whether to sell
the machines or to "learn the trade" myself. I am absolutely
OVERWHELMED by what I have to learn in order to continue this business.
So, if anyone is interested in acquiring my equipment I would definitely
consider the offer. I am scheduled to attend a training session this
week.
In the meantime...
I would like to know how I can tell if I
have the newer hook assembly that has been mentioned in this e-mail.
Secondly, I struggle with thread breaks
on PIQUET shirts (60/40 blend). I can sew out the same logo on denim or
backing or twill without a problem but as soon as I try to put a simple
two line text logo on this particular shirt I have MULTIPLE thread
breaks despite adjusting tension, needle depth, changing needles,
changing thread, etc.
I have not tried using Solvy on
piquet...I'm going to try that next to see if that helps.
Any suggestions on why I would have
numerous thread breaks on a piquet 60/50 blend shirt but not on another
material would be most appreciated.
I have already learned a great deal from
your postings. Thank you. Perhaps one day I will be able to give back
to the group.
Debby

I reduced my thread breaks by 90% when I
changed the hook assembly. It's amazing how much smoother it stitches
now. Wish I had known to do it a long time ago.
