Anand For an embroiderer to lose the use of their machine for 3 or 4 weeks, means lost dollars [even if that is not their only head in the shop]. Now I don't think machine dealers or companies would like to stop selling machines for that length of time, so I would hope they understand the importance of prompt reliable service when a machine is down .... especially for extended periods of time. Regardless of the brand .....when a machine is down for a long time, it becomes a liability rather than an asset. I can understand your frustration and I hope Melco steps up to the plate and resolves the problems with your Amaya [can't say quickly because it is already past that]. Perhaps your post will produce the results you are looking for. Good luck and let us know how you make out. Bob . Kesavan wrote: >Bob, >The machine stopped working 3 or four weeks ago.
