John that’s good to know. I took a huge risk with my Big Red and haven’t been disappointed. It’s an incredible machine. I’ll let you all know how I make out, but I can tell you right now I’m leaning...

Hi John - I called Melco today and you are absolutely right. At least the guy I spoke with thinks 60%. New Melco cap hoops are compatible with older model drivers. He did say he was sure that the new...

Thanks, Judy - I’ll definitely let you know. Sounds like you have the one piece to the puzzle that I need. Still curious if anybody has opinions on which frame/gauge setup is better - Hooptech or...

Hi Mama Kass!
So the driver I currently have did in fact come with the machine. I also have a cap frame. What I do not have is the matching cap gauge. Melco no longer sells the cap gauge that goes...

Hi Judy - I'm not really sure. The only thing that leads me to believe they are compatible is that Melco isn't offering any other cap drivers other than the red one. If it wasn't compatible with...

Thanks, Mama Kass. Understanding how this thing actually works is the best way for me to troubleshoot. Regarding the bobbin coming out of the case: it is very loose and just falls out when I do the...

I have cleaned the case, but I did order a new one - should be here any day now. Just since we've been chatting I adjusted the presser foot to the fabric I'm using. It's a thin 50/50 t-shirt...

Hi Judy - Thread Column feed is 40, Run/Fill feed 100; Material thickness 4; Autofeed lower limit 1.

Looks like the presser foot was four clicks up, so I changed to 2.

Thanks for your reply, Mama Kass - I'll look through those other posts you sent along.

As I said, the status of the machine when I picked it up was unknown. It had been sitting around unused for a...

Hi Folks - I'm new to the board, and new to the embroidery field. I just purchased an older "big red" Amaya 16 needle machine. Status was unknown at the time of purchase, so I gambled and picked up...
