This is awesome! When I was in concrete colleges for 13 straight years I learned to sew and got pretty good at it for 10 of those years. I learned to embroider with a single needle on a singer plastic supposed to be commercial machine. I fell on hard times and living in my truck but cause of your video I will pick myself up somehow and start my clothing line I dreamed about all those years. I been home now for 8 years and 10 months now . Thanks brother for giving me hope back

[@NoLoveinHell]

Man that was inspirational even for me thanks

[@connieblackmon3932]

Such a informative to the point video. I was starting to get frustrated watching videos on this topic because people want to talk about 100 of the things before they get to the point thank you for making such a good video.

Perfect timing on this brother...Just got off phone with UPS, my MT-1501 arrives tomorrow...LET'S FREAKING GO!!! Keep Crushing It!! Stay HUMBLE, Stay HUNGRY, Stay FOCUSED...~The Jarhead Entrepreneur

[@christineivey5712]

I have to say....just off the info you provided, I like your machine more than I do my cricut... This video was so informative that I can go buy one now and get dtsrted...no fear....I wasn't even looking for a video like this. I'm glad I watched....much respect for providing essential details...

[@fghandmade]

Awesome!! You made a great business decision to get this machine, I am so happy for you. Keep up the great work and TYFS

This is sssooo col to see how this works!!! The foam looks AWESOME!!! that n that SIC tat on your "drawing" finger @ 5:44 ; ).. . You're killing it Bro! Thanks for the awesome content as usual!!

[@hartonoakui9741]

Omg thats my vibe,,,, i really need my store from home like this

[@treynolds94]

I found using binder clips when doing the front of a hat caused alot of needle breaks on our 8 head Tajima. Especially right on a thick seam. They work really well for side of hat where you really need to tighten it. But if you need to go up higher on the hat and its obstructed by the clips atleast I found caused issues. We had a 400 piece last week we kept using clips and getting needle breaks. Half way through we decided not to use clips not one break. We have a smaller local shop with a 8 head Tijima 4 Bareuden 4 Ricoma, 1 Tijima and 12 Tijima. Nice for those big piece orders. But certain designs run better on certain machines. Plus there is only two of us running 29 heads so most the time we cant even keep up with hooping to even consider running all heads for one large job so we usually are running different jobs. Just pumping orders out. Very satisfying

[@upcom1ng116]

I’m thinking of making that purchase. Thanks for the video. This video is definitely helping 🙌🏻. Keep it up and more blessings to come for you bro

[@BigBrandoh]

mannnnnn. i cant even tell you how much money i lost by not getting a machine sooner... i let my own fears and insecurities stop me from gettin that money! but i will say this, watch as many youtube videos of how people use their machine. not just the tutorial vids but how people use it to make money, types of jobs they run. That way you can get a better idea on how you will use it and how you will make money with it. for me, its low quantity hat runs. thats where i make my money at. good luck to you if you decide to get a machine. i wish you nothin but success!

[@joelclark481]

Appreciate this as always. Just got my Ricoma TC 1501. Had my training class. Quick question. I've had some who have these to tell me to lower my pressure foot for doing hats.. What's your thoughts? I did purchase the Titanium needles you suggested in another video, just waiting on them to arrive.

[@A.O.G_Clothing_and_Apparel]

I'm leaning towards a Janome. Have you ever used any of their machines?

[@ThEfRiEnD810]

Good stuff bro, I'm curious on your price breakdown for Embroidery. Do you stick to any minimums? Maybe an idea for a future video?

[@BigBrandoh]

yup. a dozen is my minimum. thats how i buy hats is by the dozens.

[@weederminb7091]

So good thanks so much . What’s the machine cost

[@lojack223]

I am geeting ready to purchase a Ricome. Any advice on how you like the machine and any issues I should be aware of ?

[@jeremysmith8928]

Do you have any advice for embroidering beanies? I'm having trouble with it pulling out of the hoop

[@diane104]

Are there any classes. I know I want to do this but need to learn how to do it all. Smile

[@kellyjorivas1888]

Thank you Thank you for such great video! Question, do you digitize your designs? or do you outsource your designs? If you outsource, what are your recommendations?

[@BigBrandoh]

i outsource most of my digitizing. i just google search "digitizing services" then i hit up all the companies that pop up on the first page and see who has good pricing and who has a good turn around time. it all depends on the design also. i dont have any recommendations cuz i use a bunch of companies off of google. i would suggest doing the same. hit up all the companies and see which one fits your budget, meets your needs and you feel comfortable workin with

[@ontherun1957]

how long and is it difficult to do one of those "LA" hats behind you? I am thinking about getting a BAi 1501, which is pretty much a copy version of the Ricoma 1501.

[@Heavyhitters805]

Great fucking video!! I am actually looking to purchase my first machine for my barbershop merch! Thanks !!

[@v8customsbodypaint27]

bro I have a shop in Carson. Want to know if I can come by to watch you actually do a sample hat?

[@PatHaskell]

Damn good video, thanks for the great info. What made your decision to get the 1501 instead of any of their other models?

[@BigBrandoh]

this machine fit my needs the best for its intended use. i spoke with a sales rep about what i honestly planned on using the machine for and this machine fit what i was looking for. everybody looks at these machines with big dreams and aspirations but when you narrow down what you really plan on doing with the machine and how you plan to make money with it. it gets easier to pick whats right for you. most people shop based on price first. and alot of people shop based on dreams. you have to be honest with yourself and think about what do you plan on doing with the machine. where is the money gona come in from, what are your actual needs, what makes sense to you and what fits your budget? answer those for your sales rep and you'll pick the machine that is right for you

chroma is the digitizing software. i havent learned all the ins and outs yet. so in a rush, i'll out source digitizing.

Same question for me.

[@kencanada4492]

I have the Ricoma TC-1501, which bobbins do you find work best in your machine?

i use paper sided bobbins. i find'em on amazon for pretty cheap. sometimes i order from embroidery supplies sites if im buying thread colors that i cant find on amazon.
