This time i scheduled an appointment wif him this fri morning. confirm enough time for him to prepare his demo.
Here's my Pre-Purchase checklist!! (after in the embroidery biz for 4.5 yrs)
- Make sure i'm looking @ the current model & software
- Noise Level when stitching @ high Speed
- Thread breakage
- Thread trimming
- Neatness of trimmed thread ends
- Stitch quality / tension
- Registration - how well do borders match up with filled areas
- Change-over time from garments to caps and method
- How easy is it to load a cap into the cap frame
- What speed does the machine run on caps
- How does it sound running on caps
- Thread breakage on caps
- Needle breakage on caps
- Can it stitch small characters as small as 3-5mm??
During my 4 days of intensive research, i came across 70 - 80 different experts.. successful ppl in this biz all over the world. consolidated all their tips when choosing a new commercial embroidery machine.
in 2001, i saw this young couple (25-28 Yrs old) rented a little shop @ Beach Rd Army market doing T-shirt embroidery & printing. I was only 17 yrs old den, was so impressed by their passion. Aimed to be like them when im older. During my past 4 days of research, i learnt tat they have closed their little shop @ beach rd & moved to an industrial warehouse. they currently own a multi-head Tajima Embroidery Machine (Probably a 12 Head machine), & some other big big machines..
Manz.. in juz 8 Yrs!! this 2 young couple's Biz grew so fast!! Now my new Aim in life is to follow the footstep of them :) I believe i have the passion as strong as them in this Biz. when i get older.. muz find 1 day go make frens & lakopi with them!!
