Auto acti-feed automatically adjusts for different garment thicknesses. You can however provide some guidance in the form of autofeed limits. This will provide a range in which auto acti-feed must operate.
Autofeed Lower Limit (Minimum)
The autofeed lower limit guides auto mode with a minimum thread feed. It allows auto mode to adjust and feed more thread as needed, but it will not allow feeding less than the specified amount. The exception to this limit is the last few stitches before a trim. They will be allowed to feed less thread and essentially create a tighter tie stitch.
The lower limit is helpful when dealing with more delicate or squishy materials. It is helpful were the thread could pull tight, but a little more loft is desired.
The autofeed lower limit can be accessed through the Thread Feed Tab or through the Advanced Status Tab (if available) of the main AMAYA OS screen. To access the lower limit:
- Select from the menu bar.
- Click on .
- Select the Thread Feed Tab
The same information can be accessed from the Advanced Status Tab if available in the main AMAYA OS screen. The autofeed lower limit is shown as the "Minimum".
Autofeed Lower Limit Suggestions
The autofeed lower limit is used to provide guidelines for auto act-feed mode. The following settings are suggestions of settings that might be used to better accommodate different fabrics and the backings. These settings may need to be adjusted as material weights differ across the variety of garments on the market.
| Material | Lower Limit |
| Broadcloth with cut-away backing | 3 |
| T-shirt with cut-away backing | 4 |
| Polo shirt with cut-away backing | 5 |

| Unstructured cap with tear-away backing | 4-5 |
| Structured cap with tear-away backing | 6-7 |
