I have been servicing embroidery equipment for many years. Is the AMAYA training really necessary?
The AMAYA machine's thread feed system represents a revolution in embroidery technology. It's very different than any embroidery equipment you've ever worked on. Because this system allows for much faster sewing (up to 1500 spm,) the industry as a whole will be moving in this direction in the near future. This training prepares you to work with AMAYA machines, and it represents your opportunity to get in on the ground floor of leading-edge technology.
