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?

@cathybrewer8958 2 ай бұрын

The gauge is a time saver also, At least it keeps you from a lot of guesswork.

You should do personalized Christmas stockings

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!

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.

@tobie2 27 күн бұрын

That said, I have questions. Why would you want prewound bobbins?

@eglolondon5559 8 күн бұрын

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?

@HoneyHollowHomestead 2 ай бұрын

My! How things have changed since I learned to sew! I remember about having to adjust tension. We just did it by feel.

@HalfAssHomestead 2 ай бұрын

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 2 ай бұрын

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

Did you put the tunnel in between the two shops?

@Samcraftcom 2 ай бұрын

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.

@filjohn81 2 ай бұрын

Did I miss a video? When did the bridge get added?

@Samcraftcom Ай бұрын

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

@charlesjuarros1863 Ай бұрын

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

@Samcraftcom Ай бұрын

Yes!! Completely as the machine has it.

@morriswhite2293 5 күн бұрын

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

@Samcraftcom 4 күн бұрын

The Smartstitch channel has full videos showing that info. :)

@YMGCustomDesigns Ай бұрын

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 Ай бұрын

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

@andreadingmann6762 Ай бұрын

What kind of thread are you using in your smartstich?

@Samcraftcom 27 күн бұрын

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

@TLS7719 Ай бұрын

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

@Samcraftcom Ай бұрын

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

@CarRadio-om8bx Ай бұрын

180 for top

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 27 күн бұрын

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

@Fabdelkader123 Ай бұрын

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 Ай бұрын

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.
