Jeff,
Thank you for the information.
The tech I talked to was Chris. (don't know his last name)
After I came back from the ISS show, my machine started acting strange and
one of them was false thread breaks. (I had changed to the new rollers
during new years, sewn a few things and it worked fine).When that started
happening, I pulled out the red and yellow rollers and greased it and tried
it again. This time it ran fine but the no. of thread breaks were too many.
To find what the problem was, I changed the bobbin, bobbin thread, cleaned
the area, changed the thread etc., I would get false thread breaks in a
second. I am currently running 5.07.023. I doubt that it has the RSA and
CSA drivers that you are talking about. Yesterday, I received the 5.07.056
version of the software.
Let me know what I should do.
1. where do I get the latest RSA files.
2. Should I install the new software.
3. Chris mentioned that they are going to send the latest version 6.0xxx
version soon. (mentioned that I have not upgraded to the next software
release).
Appreciate your response and taking the time to help us out.
Best Regards,

Veena,
The machine is not making stitches differently, it is feeding thread
differently. In this case, the columns are the way they are due to too much
thread being fed, or the bobbin being too tight. If you are using the Auto
Actifeed, and do not have the updated CSA/RSA files loaded, this could also
cause the issue as the original files we found were feeding to much thread
in some machines.
I will also add this. In the past, with conventional embroidery machines,
(the thread is pulled into the sewing) it has always been stated that there
should be 1/3 of the back of columns in bobbin and 2/3 in thread. This was
used as a gage to say that tensions are correct. (It is incorrect thinking,
but some still teach it.) Well, this is not going to be the case with the
Amaya. The thread feed is different. It is pushing the thread into the
garment which causes different tensions and the speeds are higher, this also
causes different tensions and causes the tensions to vary during the sewing
process. All the differences between the Amaya and conventional machines
makes for a difference in what can be expected. The back side of columns are
not going to look the same, there will be less uniformity to the center area
or bobbin. Now, not having any bobbin as in your case is not to be expected,
but there may be reasons that can be fixed without a tech. The other thing
is what does the top embroidery look like? Even though the columns are
sewing with no bobbin, does the top look good or is it suffering as well?
Some questions, do you have the updated RSA files for the Auto actifeed,
and is the problem when running with Auto Actifeed? If so, have you run it
without Auto ActiFeed and the columns look better on the back? The new
thread feed rollers feed more positive, and do not allow for slippage of the
thread as much as the black rollers. I am not sure what tech you talked to,
but I doubt the problem is the new rollers. If the new rollers are working
as they should, generally the bobbin thread on the back looks wider in most
cases. If not using Auto Actifeed, the MT generally needs to be increased
when the new rollers are installed.
