BRACKET ISSUES ON MY RICOMA MT1501 | EMBROIDERY

[@RickeyDen]

Thank you for sharing -- it was very informative. I have a problem with the brackets as well and think I will look into this.

Brittany, thanks for making a great video about real issues. I had the same issue with my bracket. Fortunately I am a machinist and I installed heli-coils in both brackets just so I don’t have to deal with it again. Most people aren’t machinists so I won’t bore you with details. My point is that you may know someone who is handy that might be able to fix brackets for a fraction of replacement brackets. Just curious, was the $61 for both brackets or just one?

I just wanted to address the don’t buy Ricoma comment. I have owned 2 Ricoma machines and both have worked like a champ! With and mechanical items things will happen. The bracket issue could be because the screws were over tightened repeatedly and finally failed. After owning several Ricoma machines would I buy another? Yes, I can’t say it’s the greatest machine, but it’s a great value and hasn’t let me down so far. Just my 10 cents, 2 cents after taxes…

Love this thank you, at the beginning of my KZbin journey I was just learning my Ricoma machine never owned one before so I was going through a lot of frustrations, but now 3 years in I know my machine and understand when things do happen and sometimes it's probably our fault 😝

I'm still confused why the hoops don't latch into the arms all the way. Is that normal? I have some Melco's and they lock in. When I first got them I had to adjust the 2 screws on the arms so they would latch all the way in. Have you tried to adjust the screws on the front of the arms?

@@RyanLNan I do talk about it at 5:35 it does latch in place, I call it lock in place but same thing.

[@RyanLNan]

@@brittanybriggs3806 the latch part goes into the hole. Adjust the spacing so it slides in the hole. That's why it keeps moving every time.

In your own personal opinion, how often do you think that all these things needs to be changed once a year once every three years what’s your thought?

[@brittanybriggs3806]

@@juan2617 personally, I wouldn't change anything until it goes bad. You know the old phrase don't fix it till it's broken. However, you just have to pay attention to your machine and notice when things start to change, which is what happened here

@@brittanybriggs3806 definitely now do you feel that it might be quicker and cheaper for example for me to pick up whatever you need from Rico because I live literally 10 minutes away from the warehouse and then send it off because they’re shipping and handling is definitely more expensive

Don't buy a Ricoma. Got it! 😅
