Iris,
I have a 2002 Amaya and I upgraded to the new OS with acti-teed. The upgrade
cost was certainly worth it. The machine is running really great and only
once in awhile do I run into problems and switch to manual. The new OS
combined
with the new rollers has reduced my thread breaks tremendously. Just my
experience...

Ed,
Thanks for the information. I think I am pretty good with my knowledge of
fabrics, digitizing and keep learning everyday from my fellow embroiders. I
don't sew anything out without an underlay including the <.25" letters. I
don't have actifeed since my machine is pretty old (2004) and I am pretty
comfortable with sewing flats. I try not to take on a project doing caps.
From what I am looking at regarding the PING Embroidery done the shirts that
I just received, I figure that it is a ladder type of embroidery. Edgewalk,
column , edgewalk and wider column to give that look. Anybody try that
combination?

Veena,
I'm going out on a limb but I think what you're looking for is an
ancient
Chinese secret. And since I love Chinese fried rice, I will share it with
you...
"Make underlay (and density) your new best friend".
It also helps to take a fabric class to understand the make up of
fabric/material very well.
Thread tensioning (and bobbin) is also a big one too. This is where
the
Auto Acti-feed is a great feature.
There you go. Didn't think it'd be that simple, did ya.
Actually it's not. I'm sure there's plenty of paid experience behind that
one PING logo. But if you were going to sew out thousands of the exact same
design, you would work with it until it impressed everyone else too.
I also agree with some of what Roland and John said.
All you need to know is that your machine IS capable of producing great
designs.
If you went out and purchased a race car, would you be disappointed that you
couldn't win the Indy 500? Would you blame it on the car?
Grandma used to say, "All good things in time".
Best of luck to you and never stop asking questions.

Hello All,
I just got a few ping shirts with their embroidery on the sleeve and was
looking closely at it and wondering why my embroidery does not turn out like
that on my amaya? Does your embroidery turn out like that? What settings
do you use with regards to the following?
Speed, thread weight, brand of thread, density setting, any other factors?
Do any of you know what brand of thread they use? Thread weight? Density?
Machine? etc.,
