adjusting the pressure foot for hats

[jos embroidery]

working with the amaya is still new to me and i would like to know how to set the pressure foot for running hats as oppose to running flat products.

I do it two clicks up from bottom and at a 10-12 actifeed.

I set my machine at about 3 clicks from the top (all the way up and back down 3 clicks) and go from there. If I see too much indention on the hat from the presser foot, I go up one more. If I get loops, I go down one more.

I use the auto actifeed with a lower limit of 7 or 8 depending on the hat.

How do you change the lower limit?

In the settings tab there is a option under thread feed to set the lower limit of the auto actifeed. It keeps the machine from going to a setting of 1 or two then jumping to 10 and back again. This could create loops in the design.

By changing lower limit, you can prevent such a drastic change in thread feed and thread tension.

I do the same for polo shirts. I set the lower limit to 3. I let it go down to 1 on wovens if it wants to. Towels and fleece I set at 6.

Pure embroidery,

I have looked at my settings tab>thread feed but i do not see the setting you are referencing. Can you take a look again to see if there is another tab or something?

OS 7.00.045 is my version

[Pure Embroidery]

Nope. That's where it is. Not sure what my version of OS is. I just got it about 2 months ago, so I assume it is the most recent.

In the thread feed tab, look about half way down on the right side. There is a box there where you set the lower limit for the actifeed.

Just spoke to Melco. the latest version is 57 so they are sending me a new cd to install. Yay!

setting - Thread Feed tab is the correct place to look but your software version isn't new enough to have the lower limit in it. It will be there when you get your new software.
