Thanks! Saving up to get my second multi-needle, and this is THE ONE. ☺️

They took a bit of getting used to but they have been the best investment I've made for my business!

Do you still have the machine?@@pinkbirdembroidery8281

We can't keep the HCS3 in stock here in the US, it's so much better than the previous version and easily the best multi-needle machine in its size class, hands down. Nice video content, great presentation.

This was helpful , thank you.

What digitizing soft wear would you recommend to use on this machine

im looking at upgrading to a happy from a pr 6 needle, how are the Madeira colours now on the HCS3? ON the colour chart?

How much this model of machine coast thanks

Did they update the color palette? Thanks

A Happy rep here in the US told me that with the new model, “experienced embroiderers” could take the sewing field of the new HCS3 a little beyond the 11.4x11-inch “safety area.” He said he doesn’t recommend it for those new to embroidery because they would risk hitting the hoop. He said it has something to do with the shape of the presser foot on the new model that now lets you extend the sewing field if you know what you’re doing. Have you tried doing that? Would you be willing to try it and let us know how much it extends the field and how to do it? I am now 6 months into my search to upgrade to a commercial machine and I could get there a lot quicker if I could do the HCS3 instead of the HCD, but I will need to sell my flatbed to make room for it and I can’t have a smaller field than my flatbed VE2300 has, which is an 11.8-inch long field. I’d love the HCU of course but that’s well out of my price range, so I’m trying to figure out if I could do the Voyager or if I need to keep saving and waiting to get the HCD. Thanks for another great, informative video!!

Thank you for a very informative video. I would have thought that it would have with it an automatic needle threader?, considering the cost of these machines. That is what i like about the Brother PR series. I had a Brother machine, but i sold it, and i was thinking of a Happy machine, but my eyes are not what they were, so that feature would be useful. Regards, Ann.

None of the true commercial machines have an auto needle threader. You tie off the old thread color to the new thread color and just pull it through to change colors, so it’s only when changing a needle or a thread break that you need to bother with actually threading.

To check for Center and Rotation....Does this machine allow you to travel through a design, and then move and rotate the design while your are on say, Stitch number 100?

Great video, very informative! I was wondering why you choose the Happy Japan over the Melco EMT16x? Melco is a bit more expensive costing 3k USD more, but it has more needles, faster in stitches per min, and has a wider sewing field. Though, the Happy Japan is much smaller and does have a nice screen which seems useful. I'm trying to decide on which one to buy and I'm having a bit of trouble. Thanks in advance.

Hi there! I started writing a response to this and it got very very long and it turns out KZread comments have a character limit. I can't really comment on the Melco matching because I've never used one also, with you being the USA your customer service experience could be very different to mine but I'll tell you the main reasons I bought Happy Japan: - Stitch speed is kind of irrelevant. No embroidery machines will consistently run at it's top speed as it all depends on stitch length. If you are stitching nothing but running stitches your machine will go as fast as it can, as soon as it starts stitching column stitches and fill stitches the machines slow down and they are all about the same so look at other factors like how quick the machine cuts threads, how quick it switches colours, how quick it casts off and starts stitching (Happy Japan is really fast at doing this). - I love the touch screen on the Happy Japan I couldn't live with out it, it's so easy and convenient to use. - In the UK the Happy Japan customer service is brilliant, if ever I have a question they have a huge team of engineers available at the other end of the phone to help me - I like that the machines are compact, it means they take up less space and you can fit more in the room Depending on the machine you buy, they also have optional attachments where you can actually extend the sewing field and make it absolutely huge. For me though, the biggest question is - if something goes wrong with the machine are there available engineers to come fix it. I've had my Happy Japan machines serviced every year and never had an issue with them.

@@pinkbirdembroidery8281 Wow, I did not expect such a detailed response but thanks a lot! You could probably make a video out of everything you listed, loool. I actually didn't even know that the pure speed of the machine wasn't the determining factor of the overall completion rate. Unfortunately, where I live we don't have a Happy Japan close to us. If something goes wrong with the machine, are you able to fix it yourself? What's the maintenance like?

That is a nice machine:) How are the Happy's doing with Caps? On my current one, there is not soo much space behind the machine head and for my next one I would love to have a little more space there.

The 12 Needle Happy Japans don't have the biggest sewing field on the market it's 67mm tall and either 180mm or 270mm wide depending how you set up the machine. I never used to embroider on hats much because swapping from the tubular frame to the cap frame was a bit of faff on the HCS2 but now on the HCS3 they have made the process of swapping from the tubular frame to the cap frame so much easier. Personally I would like a slightly bigger sewing field maybe 70mm tall but on the whole it is sufficient

Thanks for all the reviews I'm in the market to purchase, did you purchase your previous "Happy's" direct from the factory or a retail outlet and can you let me know how much this model is?
