Hi Wendy,
 
Thank you for your kind offer...I'm in Houston, Texas...Hahn is my
married name and my husband's family is mostly in the Philadelphia
area..."Hahn" is VERY unusual here in Texas...
 
I'm going to a training seminar this week sponsored by Melco so I hope
to get a lot of my questions answered while I'm there...this userlist
has been wonderful...I've already learned more from reading everyone's
postings than I did in the last month reading and experimenting on my
own.  Quite frankly I was ready to sell everything and take the loss.  
 
Now I've made up my mind to learn how to run the darn things.  I'm
retired and have the machines set up in a room over my garage...it's
centrally air conditioned and heated, has a bathroom, TV, etc...ideal
really for the embroidery business.  Both machines are really low
time...I just did the 200,000 stitch maintenance on one today...and the
other machine hit that benchmark a couple of weeks ago.  So, as you can
see, we've not done much in two years. 
 
Anyway, thanks for your note!  I've saved your e-mail...beware of phones
ringing late at night:)

         Debby,
        Where are you located. 'Hahn' is not a very common name but we
have tons in our area. If you are in MN we can talk via phone if you'd
like.

                        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.

                        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.
