how about PATIENCE

Your gonna need plenty of that when things aren't sewing properly. Just calm down & check ur thread path, bobbin, & keep going down the list till you nail it down. Patience is in my top 5 things that makes my job much easier & productive.

Amen! I got rid of a melco, tajima, toyota & a brother. All HAPPY all the time.

I'm sad that HAPPY is discontinuing their industrial single head. I love those machines. I'll buy the used industrial single heads over the new single heads for sale.

Here is the replacement for the good old 1501. Local dist. told me to hold on to my old machines because they ain't gonna make them that good anymore unless I buy multi-heads. The good old single heads are gone due to harsh competition. Multi-heads are still solid gold.

We still see paper tape machines out there with one needle and six spools with manual stops.

Any users out there use Futura Model machines by Singer? How's your experiences with it? I'm just beginning to use mine.
Any hints I should know about? Thanks in advance for any and all replies.

Good Evening Ta Jan uk

In threading a Brothers Embroidery Machine, we have learned to Loop the Tension Disc, Breakage Pulley and the Tension Dial twice (2 times around each). Hope this helps.

Rather than hijack this thread, why not start your own with a proper subject line? You will get better results.

I started out with a 6 needle Babylock EMP-6 (the same as a Brother PR-600) and now have over 33 million stitches on it. We also now have a Tajima Neo-2 and it is a workhorse also. We do a lot of onesies for monogramming so single heads work great for me.
