I have a curious question for everyone. How many of you took the free training Melco offers with the purchase of your machine. If you took the training do you feel it helped and also if you could let us know if this is your first commercial machine or if you have had others as well. I do some demo's here on the AMAYA and that always seems to be a question that is asked. I have been embroidering for around 8 years now and have ran several other machines before the amaya so when I bought mine I really didn't feel the training was necessary and never took it. Actually I have never taken any in my life except from my mom and dad who taught me the ins and outs of embroidery and I just went from there. By the way, today is the day they are supposed to shut the old list down so I just want to mention one more timke for everyone to send posts to amayausers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or your post won't go through :) Aaron Sargent The Linen Barn linen@xxxxxxxxxxx Medford, Oregon
