Sassyletter,
The Slim Line hoop is a wonderful hoop that allows you to sew a great number of items otherwise very difficult to hoop or sew. However there are very important rules to using a Slim Line that most folks don't learn until after finding themselves in your shoes. And it doesn't matter which brand of embroidery machine you have.

As for your Amaya, it's not so much that your needles got knocked from their track as much as your needlecase got knocked off the front of the machine.

Depending on how many needles have dropped and what kind of mechanical bind the machine is in, this will be like solving a Rubik's Cube. This will most likely require the services of a technician who can repair the damage done to your machine and not just put the needles back in their track.

I have done this repair many times over the years and each repair was uniquely different. I see you live in the South Carolina area. Try calling Hugo Torbidoni @ 301-471-3157.

You don't. It is time for a tech call. This is a tedious process and one techs are trained in. If not done properly, you can cause yourself a lot of grief and more expense. The entire needlecase must be removed---there are 4 precision 4-packs of needles in the needlecase and something you don't want to mess with.

Confriming what Sharon & Ed say - this is one of the things we spent the most time on in class...
