First off, Happy Holidays to everyone.
I have the opportunity to purchase a refurbished Amaya for a decent price. My current setup is a home machine (Brother 2001ULT), and we are ready to make the leap into a commercial quality single head machine. Because of this being our first and only commercial machine, it would need to be very flexible in what we are asking it to do and put out the best quality possible on each. Since starting this we have been approached to do hats, tote bags, golf towels, and your normal shirts and jackets. So there is quite a wide application. What I'm looking for is an honest opinion of these machines. The machine would be of vintage 2002 - 2004, depending on what is in the shop being refurb'd. I'm also received an offer for a 6 needle (601C) machine for pretty much the same price. I have read some posts on the web about the Amaya and the learning curve with the auto-tension and also the quality embroidering on caps. The quote is good for this year (12/31) so I need to pull the trigger quickly if I'm going to do this.
All opinions welcome,
Thanks you,
Barry
Sorry if this gets posted twice, did it via the freelist as well.
