Thank YOU Edna!
 
I'm in Kingwood.
 
I also have the Design Shop Pro Plus (of course, I don't know how to use
it!).  I retired from Abbott Laboratories and called on many nurses
during my 24 years with the company.  Are you going to practice nursing
when you finish your clinicals in addition to the embroidery business?

        Hi All,

        Debra, I'm in Katy, TX and have one Amaya with the Design Shop
Pro Plus since January this year.  I've not been to training yet, am
waiting until I finish my nursing clinicals then I'll be free to go.
But I have been doing embroidery just over 10 years so if I can help
with anything, you can email or call me.

        Edna

        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.
