To see if you have a "newer style" rotary hook assembly you must first remove
the needle plate from the machine. You must then rotate the machine while
watching the top side of the rotary hook until some embossed lettering appears.
If it is a "newer" hook it will have a small 3/4 circle with the letter "M"
inside of it and then right next to that will be a small "oval" with the word
"Melco" written inside of it.
If this is not there then it will not be a newer style of hook.....this does
not mean the ones that you are presently running are bad or defective,
etc......Rotary hooks are a wearable item and/or may be damaged by a broken
needle or lack of proper oiling.....

Hello to all!
My name is Debby and I own a home based embroidery business. I own TWO
Amaya machines bought in July 2003. This is my first "posting " to this web
site and I have been reading every posting trying to learn as much as I can
about the Amaya's. Although I own the equipment I have only recently started
trying to learn the embroidery side of the business. My partners were
responsible for doing the actual embroidery in the past and are no longer
involved in the business (sigh)...so it' pretty much a "one woman" show at the
moment.
I am trying to decide whether to sell the machines or to "learn the
trade" myself. I am absolutely OVERWHELMED by what I have to learn in order to
continue this business. So, if anyone is interested in acquiring my equipment
I would definitely consider the offer. I am scheduled to attend a training
session this week.
In the meantime...
I would like to know how I can tell if I have the newer hook assembly
that has been mentioned in this e-mail.
Secondly, I struggle with thread breaks on PIQUET shirts (60/40 blend).
I can sew out the same logo on denim or backing or twill without a problem but
as soon as I try to put a simple two line text logo on this particular shirt I
have MULTIPLE thread breaks despite adjusting tension, needle depth, changing
needles, changing thread, etc.
I have not tried using Solvy on piquet...I'm going to try that next to
see if that helps.
Any suggestions on why I would have numerous thread breaks on a piquet
60/50 blend shirt but not on another material would be most appreciated.
I have already learned a great deal from your postings. Thank you.
Perhaps one day I will be able to give back to the group.
Debby

I reduced my thread breaks by 90% when I changed the hook assembly. It's
amazing how much smoother it stitches now. Wish I had known to do it a long
time ago.
