Jack,
If you are concerned about puckering on thin materials, you should be glad you
have the Amaya system as you can control the thread's tension with ease.
Since the needle will tear apart the bamboo, you want to have a few needle
penetrations as possible. Meaning not a lot of underlay if any.
Have your auto acti-feed turned off (standard mode) and choose a number high
enough where you don't get puckering but also don't get looping on top. You
may have to turn off your bobbin detector as you will probably get a lot of
false bobbin breaks if you don't.
Use a sharp needle and preferably one that won't bend easily like the 75/11 or
80/12.
Slow the machine down as hooping this material won't be easy.
Just Remember this. It is at times like these where we as embroiderers like to
experiment and unfortunately make a mistake somewhere along the way and wind up
messing up the machine. So be careful and make sure you are getting paid extra
for the risks you are undertaking. Also, make sure all your other work is out
of the way first in case you render your machine down and have to wait for a
tech to arrive.
I say this because I have a very limited idea of what kind of bamboo you are
sewing on.
Good Luck,
