    I had a screen print and embroidery shop. We had a 6 head 12 color machine for shirts and large items and a 4 head 6 color machine for ball caps. Both were Brother machines. We had to pay a guy from Japan to come train us. It’s pretty awesome you’re covering this!! The world needs this. Makes me miss my business. We had tons of fun. The worst customers were the parents of little kids that were starting to play baseball. Lol.

    The tension on this machine has to be different when working with hats. Can you do a video regarding the tension and how much tighter it needs to be?

  • @breeziedreamz
    @breeziedreamz Před 2 měsíci

    This sure beats hefting the machine into the back of an SUV, travelling to a city to get the machine serviced and lugging it back home a couple of weeks later. I have an older Brother PR650, and it falls out of tension if you sneeze next to it. I'm picking up a TOWA as soon as possible. I never knew these existed! Thanks for the information!

    Sam, if you set your machine up on top of a piece of padded carpet it really works to quiet it down in your work area. I run mine upstairs that way, and in the room just below it, you can't hear it at all. Ricoma comes with a built in 15 color tension test.

    • @Samcraftcom
      @Samcraftcom  Před 2 měsíci

      Thanks for the tip, and that is really cool that Ricoma's are built in too!

  • @SwaggerCoach
    @SwaggerCoach Před dnem

    Do you use the same tension for shirts and hats with this machine, or do you set it for each job? My machine is on the way, but I'm trying to get all the insider help I can to be prepared 💥👊🤓

  • @eglolondon5559

    I wish you well, I would like to know, please, what is the tension of the polyester thread of the bonbine, also the upper thread?

  • @tobie2
    @tobie2 Před měsícem

    I just got an embroidery machine (Janome) and I've been too intimidated to start using it. I'm going to start, to try to learn along with you. Thank you.

  • @jesusvazquez6224

    also best bobbin tension for hats?

    • @Samcraftcom
      @Samcraftcom  Před 2 měsíci +1

      It's roughly finished, but not totally done yet -- hence no video. It's honestly fallen behind on priority compared to launching my new local business and keeping up with other things around our home.

      It's roughed in, but other things are taking precedence at the moment. I'll show that video when it finally gets completed.

  • @charlesjuarros1863
    @charlesjuarros1863 Před 2 měsíci

    When setting your top tension, do you have the thread running through the needle as well?

    • @Samcraftcom
      @Samcraftcom  Před 2 měsíci

      Yes!! Completely as the machine has it.

    What software would you recommend for someone just starting in embroidery and digitizing?

    • @Samcraftcom
      @Samcraftcom  Před 2 měsíci +1

      Hands down; Hatch. They’re the top software for users like myself and above, but have great affordability too!

  • @YMGCustomDesigns
    @YMGCustomDesigns Před 2 měsíci

    Where did you find what your tension number should be. I bought the digital tension reading like u suggested, but I don’t know that the numbers should be for my machine

    • @Samcraftcom
      @Samcraftcom  Před 2 měsíci

      Thread and machine manufacturers will have their recommendations but you also need to test and walk them in.

  • @morriswhite2293

    Would it be too much toask for a threading pattern, I believe mine were threaded wrong b the company.

    Sam- on this machine / how do you have it automatically complete the stitching without completing and restarting the stitching. I noticed if I step away it automatically continues to restitch until stopped

    • @Samcraftcom
      @Samcraftcom  Před 2 měsíci

      Sounds like you have the repeat function enabled somehow. I’m not at my machine to know exactly the term or screen it’s on though.

    What kind of thread are you using in your smartstich?

    • @Samcraftcom
      @Samcraftcom  Před měsícem

      I've been running the default thread, Maderia, & Candle thread in it to see any differences in performance. The jury is still out. :)

    Hi, how do you get your test set up? I deleted my initial training test and I don't know how to redo it.

    • @Samcraftcom

      The tension test that you run on the machine? I digitized my own to suit my desires. :) There's a link to download it for free in the video description or on my website at samcraft.shop
