in this video we unbox our embroidery machine the ricoma 1501 tc and we'll
show you what is all involved in putting one together coming up
welcome back if you're new to the channel i'm matt i have a small screen printing shop and we were
getting behind on our embroidery so we decided to pull the trigger on a ricoma embroidery machine
the 1501 tc to be exact and one of the reasons we got it is because they have zero percent financing
right now and the folks at ricoma were kind enough to send us a promo link so that way if you guys
decide you like what you see here you can use our link in the description and save yourself
some money off your machine and it will help us as small business owners by kicking a commission
back our way to help pay off our machine all right without further ado let's dive into it
well we're gonna go ahead and sniff this and uh see what we need to take out here bring it in
oh there it is i have no idea what i'm looking at aside from hoops
but yeah it'll be easy is this uh just like a tray yeah looks like it okay
then there's the embroidery machine itself
and that's these are all part of the stand i guess we'll figure it out but here's the
head of the machine that i take it this is the stand over here what does it say mario
makes me feel welcome to the family thread and supplies we'll go through
all this stuff here in a moment but we need to die out and move it into the shop
so there we are we got the top of the box off what there's a cap on it already what
do you think about that apollo so we gotta lift this thing up and uh
haul it into the shop well i guess we're gonna do it to it and bring this thing in
so what do you think shanna is it as big as you thought it would be nope not too big huh
so that will be perfect i think right over here
right where you're standing that'll put us close to that table so that way we can get after doing
some embroidery you want that hat yeah you can have it yay i think it's pretty cool
very nice we'll get some better shots of the machine once we get everything all set
up it did come with a couple boxes here we'll go through those here in a second
looks like we've got a little toolbox what we got a toolbox thing all right nice what's in
there is there anything in it well let's go ahead and open it now let's find out
i guess these are extra needles
i'm not sure what i'm looking at here just yet looks like we got some springs i got some
maintenance items tools i don't know if this is alcohol or oil i guess we'll find out maybe
yeah maybe it's a sewing machine oil i guess a small container dang we don't even need to get
any tools for it so that's pretty cool every driver's seat got screwdrivers and wrenches
so well i'm sure once we review some of the videos
start putting this thing together we'll i'm sure it'll tell us what all this stuff is
and we got another box to open up over here right now in a second i got the next package over here
got some wheels for the stand we can push it out the way
get the hardware for the stand i imagine what this is so here's what's in the other box here
the little plate for the stand i imagine got a table here
to hook things up got another some more hoops a bunch of hoops
i'll take it we probably won't need to get any more hoops
and let's see what's in this is this gonna be a starter kit let's see what colors are in there
nice we already got a little bit of a starter kit with
the backing material i don't even know what it's called i'm going to learn all my
lingo and we'll bring you guys along for the ride what else we got here some spools
i see at least once full this one here across the mat m-a-t-t nice so we got a little bit of uh
here you got shannon here's our our starter spool kit hmm shiny a lot of the colors that we need
oh we got some more hey this one matches my hair along with some bobbins
very cool and we've got some more needles it looks like and then some
some trimming tools cool let's uh let's assemble it
what's the best part about this whole deal the bubble wrap now that we got everything
unpacked we're going to start watching some pre-training videos one it tells you how to
put the thing together we were kind of guessing but with a machine like this i don't want to just
guess so we're going to hang out watch all 10 of these lessons and hopefully by the end of this
thing maybe we'll hey we'll have it put together i know we'll have it put together but we might be
able to just go ahead and start running off some tests as part of our family you're not in this
alone from here on out we will do everything in our power to guide you along your journey
make sure to carefully follow along with this video to make sure that your machine is correctly
threaded all right we got our pre-training video on how to put this thing together
all complete so we're gonna put this together now do a little bit of a time lapse okay so we
need the screwdrivers i think we need this little tool kit here that the wheels and the stands these
plates into that one table and then we'll put the stand together get the machine up on the stand
nailed it all right we got that all assembled now we just need to glue it in place a little bit
actually i guess we'll toss the head on there let's do that your hedge who's it
but this is actually very beneficial for the rest of my working what um then we gotta do it
like okay i think we need to loosen these up and then put those in
you need a man to tighten that for you
all right what do you think mario right there
perfect oh all right let's tie her down tighten her down all right we've got
the stand assembled it's in place now we need to watch some more videos so we can continue
making progress with the recommend all right we just finished watching the next video the next
thing we have to do is attach our thread to the machine we're gonna run it through because it is
pre-threaded this is a learning experience for us we're gonna take a minute to run a couple of
these things through but essentially the gist of it is we need to loosen these strings up
loosen these down here get them separated and then we're just going to mate these strings
over here with our elite spools yeah spools of uh thread and um it's a learning experience for us so
give us a minute i've got a whole booklet down here of different threads red colors that kind of
blows my mind a little bit because normally with screen printing stuff is just like
we'll take yellow red blue so the gist of it is they have it pre-threaded all the way through
the machine we're tying up spool number one to the corresponding needle head i'm not even sure
what to call at this point and then once that's knotted together we're just gonna pull it through
down on this side here i still need to unravel this it's like brushing rapunzel's hair
all right so mario's feeding through
the white through number one here there you go oh there it goes there goes the nut
there it is yeah it goes through this little no it's fine we got
these little hole thingies go through that whole thing and then through that thingy
we'll get more in depth with this we're figuring it out and rather than me calling it thingies i'll
know the proper terms i think once we got the hang of it it wasn't too bad to just pull them through
uh again we'll have some future videos of exactly how to use this because this is all new on to the
next step though all right did you thread that through correct we can watch it again but oh man
uh i've got the i've got some of the shakiest hands ever so this
yeah that's what they said it's through the back
i'm telling you let's go watch that again all right let's go watch it again
okay so you're right margo that will definitely make it a lot easier so we're going to take
our time to hoop these through and then i don't know after that we're pretty close
yeah there were there were some uh now beef jerky didn't come with it it's right here where these
red ones oh nice oh okay we've watched the videos and i'm kind of eager to go ahead and
turn this on because the training does say to turn it on so we're going to turn it on
i think we're ready mario are we ready to embroider
i'm ready all right
so
well putting together the machine was a lot of fun it was a new learning experience again
