Yesterday client called to ask about picking up her 40 shirt order. What order? She never confirmed the design and we were on vacation for 2 weeks! So with DS 9, I had her simple logo done in 20 minutes, started sewing about 9:30 am, and by 1 pm had her 40 polos all done and NOT ONE BROKEN STITCH! Had a bobbin run out, that's it! Design was 2,000 stitches, I was hooping with 2 pieces of 1.5 tearaway on the 4.5" hoops with my Tex Inc. All-In-One-Hooper almost as fast as the machine was sewing. No puckering, no problems (fortunately we DID have her shirts on hand) and that was the easiest $517 order in 4 hours I"ve ever made! Now I'm going to take her design and shrink it down and do a couple hats to show her. Made her day-she had a 4 pm meeting to present the shirts she had forgotten all about! SO for newbies and those thinking about the XT, YES it can work for you. I'm the worst complainer, had zero, absolute zero experience with embroidery when we started-even wanted to ship back our original Big Red. But this XT is sooooo nice. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
