Larry, my machine is #986, about three years old. I use the auto system all
the time and it runs great for me. I still use standard on caps. I get
less thread breaks. I do have the newest RSA & CSA.

What is the oldest machine that can utilize the auto actifeed system? Or Is it only for the brand new?

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.

haveHello all, My machine has been giving me problems since the last few days. Iback.called the technician to come over so that he can fix it.
Anyway, I was looking at the back of the embroidery and had done some column stitching and found that there was no bobbin thread on theofJust a line of white with the embroidery thread attached to it. I was surprised and called tech again and found out that this is the featurethe latest and greatest thread feed rollers. If the columns look this
andway, would it not be difficult if the bobbin thread got cut or somethingthe entire column would come out.
What will the changes on the fill be, walk stitch or other stuff.
Appreciate your feed back.
Best Regards, Veena Viswanath
