Re: new member looking for wisdom
Hallo mikemillis,
I think in the price class of Amaya, Tajima, Barudan, Happy, ZSK you won't find any bad machines. They are all sewing very well. Amya is putting a lot of new technology in their machines.
But new technology comes always with a price. If you have a ton of extra features it is more likely that something breaks and if something breaks, how complicated will it be to fix it.
Another thing is the tensioning system. All the people I have talked to, are setting the tensioning on their amaya xts manually because the auto tension function is not working very good. If you think you can avoid any tension problems by setting the machine to automatic, you might be wrong. But you have to ask an experienced amaya user about this.
This is still a very good machine, but for me personally, easy repairs and maintenance of a machine is a very important point. That is why an Amaya was not the right embroidery machine for me. On the other hand, the features like speed, easy communication between computer and machine and the small Cylindrical Lower Arm are really nice features. If you call a tech for maintenance and repairs anyway, than it could be the best machine for you.
