Hi Ron Thanks for your opinion. I have looked at the Amaya's and like most things about the machine but in all honesty, the one feature that concerns me the most is the auto top thread tensioning. Did you have a lot of experience with machines using traditional tensioning methods before purchasing the Amaya.? I ask this because I am used to manual tensioning and personally find it to be much easier and simpler than what the auto tensioning appears to be. Perhaps it is just a matter of me being "old school" and I'm afraid to move over to the dark side ???????
