we start training on the ricoma and we run off our first caps stay tuned
welcome back if you're new to the channel i'm matt we recently got a ricoma embroidery
machine and we're going to kind of show you what the training was like and how easy it was to
get into embroidery we do have a promo code for this machine and it's a great
way to get into embroidery we'll be sure to leave a link down in the description
what we'll do is kick a little bit of a commission airway it'll go towards our machine
and we can continue to grow the embroidery side of our business but let's go ahead and
get into the video we're in the middle of our training and we're running off our first cap
two
literally been waiting two months hey shannon what do you think about the about this it's not as bad
the machine will take a couple seconds to realize that there isn't a thread there
our machine will actually automatically reverse
back a couple stitches to ensure that we don't have a little gap in our design yes oh perfect
i follow once in on the action what you film yourself
it was hard to get this in here right well kind of messing a piece while i'm missing
oh i was just gonna let you figure it out well i remember that part
so just remember uh that she said that what you have to do is pull
especially on this pull the back rather than
pushing it on because it will push the machine back are you sure this goes like this
like this the backhand movement i believe whoa oh i'm gonna have to go back and watch those videos
so our issue right now is trying to remember whether or not the part of the brim needs to go
inside there we go yeah you got it but it didn't have to go all the way down it's just supposed
to hit right there at the very edge yeah i think so like right there and then center hold it tight
okay so it goes over those it's harder than i thought yeah there you go it's not original latch
is it too tight yeah all right we had to get this part of the hoop situated it was a little tight
for this cap so there's a screw where you can loosen that and pull it forward that's better yeah
i think this part was that supposed to be yeah i think that's about as close as it's gonna get huh
are we using the clamps yeah you can if you want i mean it helps kind of didn't you think
about it i felt like it was kind of i don't think you used them last time when she didn't mention
that yeah all right all right so now you gotta take that off well you can start going through the
settings where's the usb it's plugged in already oh no that's not what i do with it here it is
there you go here's i might just like print this out and put it on the wall
yeah probably unlock just the design and just squeeze it until it locks can't do it
it's a learning experience learn experience look at where the needle's at and how close it gets
to the hoop all right let's do it again so it could go much closer mm-hmm you can go lower
so yeah so unlock it uh no you don't have to unlock it just hit the arrows yeah there we go
probably needs to go more all right do the trace thing yep yeah it can still go lower the trace
okay i think that's better is that you yeah i was looking at the black fan that should
have been little yeah it's good i think it's gonna be somewhere right here half an inch okay
okay there we go this is actually one of the jobs that we're outsourcing that they're taking forever
on so and we only got 3765 stitches so trace it again or use a card i'd say start say letter rip
looks good i'm gonna take it off i'm gonna take a picture
it's it's mario's first embroidery he's gonna take a picture and hang the picture up on his
refrigerator see that i can do it yeah but yours is going in front of a lot of people
i don't care i don't care today so yeah now just unlock it and pull her off
yeah i mean the embroidery looks looks really good now we just have to work on our placement
of these things because um yeah we got to start somewhere yeah so mario did one i did one
he did a little on the high side buds that's right i think the embroidery looks good now this is the
first one so this i mean it came out really awesome and i have something to compare it to
here's the one that mario just did and this is actually a job that we need to do we're gonna
go grab our caps monday so we can keep that money in our pocket but this came out really awesome now
just getting done we usually get it done as well
but here this was done on another vendor's machine the people we normally outsource it to
and here's the difference between two aside from i chose different colors to use
so here's what we did on the ricoma this is what our vendors did for us some years ago so we had a
file to compare and i i couldn't be happier with the results and how easy the machine is to use
so now we just need to work on our alignment and placement and we're in business in case
you're wondering it is supposed to have these lines in it that's part of the design it's like
the logo is moving fast same thing over here but i do feel like the grouping over here
is nicer in my opinion and that's not just because we have the machine i mean look here at this
part and who knows this is a dead cat this is a little more firm but the quality is just on point
so i'm a happy camper training was super simple we still need to just dial in using the machine
thus far getting this thing up and running we've ran off three cabs to solo without the training
and we're excited so be sure to stay tuned next video will run off a customer's job it has gone
halfway through it has gone halfway through hasn't it yeah we ordered this machine but dad ordered
this machine that's right do you think about this it's pretty cool now it is pretty cool huh
i thought it wouldn't be boring but it's pretty cool oh so it's not boring it's pretty cool huh
