Ed, You mean we're not supposed to wear the garments as we embroider them? I thought hooping was difficult. Now I know why! I don't know about YOU'RE Amaya, but mine's definitely male. He does exactly what I tell him to do and tries like heck not to upset me. When I ask him for flowers, he gives me flowers, when I ask him to say something nice, he writes the nicest words. Sometimes he gives me trouble, but what's a guy for anyway? He's not likely to go out with someone else. He doesn't give me grief if I stay out late. And he never eats the last chocolate. If there weren't boy Amayas out there, where would new ones come from? My Amaya is a keeper. If he's really good, I may get him a mate someday! : ) Genie Z "E.

If the machine is stopped it will not start again unless you press the green go....Don't be afraid of it! Remember all it can do to you is wreck a shirt or whatever you are sewing on. You have the safety bar there and unless you tell it to do something it will not run on it's own. You are taking the fun out of the job! Relax and you will see the machine will not beat you...you are in charge! :o) Lora Sport Products Mfd., Ltd. 4756 Murphy Road Oregon, WI 53575 608=835-5791 www.sportproducts.org
