  You have given the best info on this I have seen! Immediately fixed my issue. I was ready to torch both of mine. Tech support just wanted me to run the gauntlet of steps and pages of the manual. You sir are AWESOME!!!!!

  AWESOME! I’m so glad it worked for you too. I hate Melco’s tech support, they should be teaching us ways to keep these machines running and value their customers a little more. It would make a world of difference for Melco.

  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.

  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?

• 
  @ParsonsDesignsАй бұрын

  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

  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. 🤔

  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 can‘t confirm your expierience. We work about 14 years with melco. The first XT works again, we changed the trimmer cable, cost maybe 50$. Now the machine it is old and the main board has a trouble, the machine stich well but the needle change only work sometimes. Not a big Problem us, we use for 1 color jobs, we have a lot of this stuff. I wan‘t sell it, it works and makes money. The XTS that we have works and works and works without invested 5$ for parts. This is maybe the best machine that melco build it. The first EMT16 (no Plus) are shit, the EMT 16 plus are better. The work but the bobbin tension it is a pain, every a couple of hours it is to adjust. Also thread trimming can be a pain. Our 2 niw works ok, not good but we make money with it. Our newest EMT16X it is too new, I can‘t say bad things about it. They stich well without troubles. The only thing that we noticed, the look of stitching from the newer machine is not equal to the old one XTS. The older stich taller, small letters and lines are thiner, the new one stich bolder. The only thing to resolve it is to adjust in Designshop.

  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.

  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.

• 
  @ParsonsDesigns4 ай бұрын

  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

  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.
