There is a file called AMPASS06F.exp or something similar to that that you hoop 2 heavyweight cutaway in a large 17X11 wood hoop and run at 1200 spm and the machine should run this design all the way through with 2 or les breaks. This design was created to test different types of stitiches and movements as well as small and large lettering. If this design does not run then you definitely have machine problems. If it does run then you can narrow it down to something else besides the machine like digitizing, hooping, backing used, etc. When you run the AMPASS you need to set the colors 1-16 so it will utilize every color to make sure everything is good on the machine. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
