Embroidery Trimming Fix
Переглядів 1,2 тис.4 місяці тому
I started having problems with trims on one of our Melco EMT 16X machines. I made a call to tech support after seeing a video Melco posted that might fix my issues so I gave it a shot. You will have to replace your Needle plate for this upgrade if you have a "BT" on the under side of it.

4 color Screen Print From Design to Customer
annoying
which one do you prefer using ?
They each have their place. I feel like the Fast clamp is more out of the box but there has been times that the hoop master is the only option.
It's hard for me
How do I keep the Melco bravo from pushing out the hat when done stitching? The brim of the hat hits the back of where the needles are?
Go to tools, settings, machine, and uncheck the box that says “hoop forward at end of design”
Thanks for another fabulous video. Last year I tried to put three designs on hats but that was a disaster. I ended up doing them all separately : three hundred hoopings for the hundred-hat order. Next time I’ll try to do two at once. Thanks for the motivation! AND you did it on a Richardson hat, my nemesis! Barbara in Colorado
Thanks Barbara, I have totally been there. 😅 you got this 👍
Gosh, your video is brilliant and so informative! I would have thought the problem was the dreaded Richardson hat so it’s good to know I can check my trimmer if it happens to me again. Thanks so much for taking the time to help out the rest of us! Barbara in Colorado
You are so welcome!
Many thanks for the great tips! I’m on a mission to learn the best way to deal with Richardson hats. Interesting that they’re made in different countries and may be different. Barbara in Colorado
Richardson manufactures in 3 different countries. As close as we are to their product as embroidery shops you will eventually able to tell the difference between locations as you hoop and run hundreds of their hats.
Why not just the knife and sharpen it?
Unfortunately it doesn’t work like that. The part you would want to sharpen stays inside the needle plate. I would love that though! I said the same thing to Melco. What not make it able to be sharpened. 🤔
The laser is off alittle on melco for hats it's best to estop and drop the needle and make sure it hits the center
Yes, Great tip!!!
Do you protect the bill of the hat so it won't rub?
Most of the time I just put some tape on the bill.
These machines are absolute trash. I have 3 all broken as of today. One broke after a month, second about a year and now my last one 1.5 years. They broke in that order becayse i used one when the other broke, or they probably would have all broke closer to one another
I’m sorry for your experience.
I have the emt16x and they're trash. 100% trash
Melco machines are absolute junk in my experience. I bought a three head and they're broken. Literally one of them broke after a month. Been sitting not functioning since then. I'm down to my last EMT16X and this one is starting to go after 1.5 years
wow, excellent video, very well explained, thanks for taking the time to do it…!!!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for your kind words.
Hmmm same here 😟 I’m paying a lot $$$ for this to continue to happen. I’ve had this machine for six months.
So much rep here! DLH is awesome!
Great recap video I am in the promo business and looking to by a machine for smaller jobs. Considering the Melco along with the Brother PR1550x. Since I had a PR1000e in the past. Quite familiar with it. I like your set up and keep up the good work.
Thank you so much.

Started in 07 also have the XT🩷then got a couple more XTSs in 13. They run.
I love those machies.
How much that kit to fix the melco cost
The hat hoops?
Dude I gotta get back into screen printing I’ve had so many customers asking me to screen print and I’m terrible at it but this video ill def be coming back to it.
I’ve been primarily embroidering which was tricky first but the price of my machine I had to favor it.
I totally get it. 👊
Love this series! Need MORE!!
Thanks for the support guys. This was a fun one
My mellow runs fine, 3 y3ars now
Very intriguing 🤔 And a lot of time & cleaning.... Amazing, Thanks for sharing.... Sending Favor, Prosperity, Health, Grace & Joy... Laughter & Positive thoughts & Vibes Raise the Frequencies wherever you go.
How good is the Melco support , I’m planning to get the 16x
It’s kind of why I started talking more about Melco on this UA-cam channel. Melco support has gotten better but has room for improvement. I would love to build a community here to support each other share tips and suggestions so we can all be more successful.
Thank you for this video!! I have had so many trim issue since I got my EMT 16x's and thought it was because I am still 'new' to embroidery. I even stopped the video to go take of my needle plates and sure enough they were both BT ones. Called tech support and new ones are being sent out. Great to find such a honest, helpful video!
Thanks you so much. I would love to hear back about how your trimming is with the new needle plant.
I’m glad your up and running. Two weeks is Unsatisfactory!
It really is!
Ive had all those problems, got new board several hooks then a whole new machine!! I think my business failed because I wasted so much time with thread breaks difficulty with small letters. Melco has ignored a whole lot of complaints!!! Start training with my new Tajima tomorrow!!
Great video! Thanks for your 'pro' tip! I got a pro tip for you - at 15:40 == When the embroidery is finished don‘t remove the hoop. Turn the garment inside out and cut the backing with a seam ripper. Cut real close to the embroidery. Looks nicer and is much faster than cutting with scissors.
Thanks! 😍
can you do the side of the hats like this with the Bravo machine? i haven't been able to find much information on this. Thanks
You should be able to. Just make sure you have the WACF hoop selected.
I hate when companies call and check in. If I need something, I’ll call.
We were having the same issue this weekend with a hat order we had. It was a nightmare. Now I know I need to replace the knife since we don’t have the BT on the needle plate. Thanks for this video!
Your welcome 👊 Would love to know when you replace the knife only if it makes your trimming better like it’s supposed to.
Yes that is annoying and time robbing. This video has real value or Melco owners. Thanks for posting.
Thanks so much for the support 👊
Hello! What needle size do you find works best for hats??
I use 3 different sizes depending on the design. 65/9 for small details 75/11 for most standard stuff 80/12 think hats with puff logos.
Great job....thanks for sharing. Sending Favor, Prosperity, Health, Grace & Joy ....🤗♥️😁
Hi Sallie so good to see your comments 😍
excellent video presentation, do you have a machine that can make those front rubber logos like on the front of the cap you show?
I outsource the rubber patches and teamed up with a local guy to sew them on. Then I do the embroidery like in this video in house.
Thanks for the tip about pressing down to find the center. We’re just starting on hats and having a heck of a time with everything!
Your Very welcome, Trying to share what I know. I hope Your day gets better. Hats can be hard and with some many different styles some are better than others.
Hi. Found out 4 years ago that my 16+ was shit and it is what you say, bad in trim. The S-95 knife system from Bernina is shit. And they wont admit it. So, i had to bye an upgrade so now it workes as a 16X. Problem solved. It cost me 2000 $ to fix it. So fuck Melco and Bernina.
Yeah I feel like the 16Plus should have been a recall issue. I get this message a lot. I was faced with that same decision upgrade my 16Plus or trade it for the 16X 🤔 of course this is after years of messing and fighting with the 16Plus that I finally paid it off and now have a & $24,000 bill to pay over the next 5 years. This goes to show a real lack of integrity on Melos part to hear the customers who use their product. Thanks for sharing
I agre it wasn’t an upgrade it was a defect! I didn’t have the money to upgrade!
👏🏻👏🏻
I use a business card or two as a shim
I hate them hats. But they have to get done.
Question? Why you using water Savi on this shirt. When it meant to be used on towel and wool. Help me to understand. The work look good but you would have gotten the same look without it.
That is a great question! You are right and very good observation. We found that it also helps on thin or stretchy materials like Nike, Under armor or Sport tech to keep the stitching registration in place better. Especially if a design has thin lettering. You should give it a try.
@@ParsonsDesigns i will try. But we both know after it leave the shop. We don’t really do a follow up. We just see the client coming back to place another order. Other then that keep up the good work.
At what speed.
I try to keep them at 900-1000 but they will auto max speed if the machine/program thinks it can’t go that fast on a particular part of the design. Hope that makes sense 😬
What are you heating on the hats?
Using a Heat gun or Lighter helps make the poly Thread nice and tight.
@@ParsonsDesigns ah. So this is after the hat comes off the hoop?
@@Tundrageek correct
Thanks. I was wondering about how the software works.
Can embroidery machine thread on leather ?
I have done some fake leather upholstery for hat patches and am working on that video to show the process I did to make them. Melco machines do really good with thick material.
Hello new subscriber #590 in the house 🏠. Amazing video keep going it only gets better🎉🎉🎉
Welcome to the Party!! Thanks for the Sub and your kind words.
What spm do you run
I typically run them 900 to 1000 SPM
I have a hard time doing anything lower then 1/2 inch.
Yes it’s very hard to go that low because of the hat and hoop type.
Great video . keep uploading more videos mate
