In order for embroidering to work for me, I need to be able to fix my machines. Previosly when I had my machines (1 head 6 needle Melco), and 4 head 6 needle), my friend and technician whom I bought my machinery (including the AMAYAs) has walked me through a lot of steps over the phone to fix thing. Since operating, I have NEVER paid for technician service. John Elliot has been a good friend and technician to deal with, and learning about www.amayausers.com (http://www.amayausers.com) has added HUGE volumes the help and information I have access to now. Trust me! I will go through your post again when I get home and "accurately" set the hook timing and report back on how close I was. I've already removed some of the needle case face plates and such for my own lubrication. Basically, anything I can see in the AMAYA instruction book is game for me if I think there is a problem that is creating bad sewing and such. Again, I truly appreciate your detailed responses and I will be student #1 to put these ideas to test. Also, "one-day" John suggested that I attend technician training as a way to augment my income as I am living in the Ft. Lauderdale area, and there is little AMAYA support in this area.
