What you might be lacking here is specifics on the Amaya XT / software settings. Since you have the XT machine, you should also have the Auto Thread feed option. Make sure this is selected over the Standard Thread feed option. To check some other "fine tuning" options, click on "Tools, Settings, and then the Thread Feed tab". (older versions of AOS, it's simply "Settings, and then the Thread Feed tab") Here you verify that your minimum thread feed setting is set to "1". If unsure about the other settings, just click "restore defaults". What I just recommended above is where everyone with new machines should start and usually get good results. Also make sure your bobbin tension isn't too loose and roll your presser foot adjustment wheel all the way down. And as you know, make sure the eye of your needles are facing straight forward. Make sure your red thread feed rollers have been lubricated recently. Best of luck to you.
