Hey Lee, I found you a few days ago and I've been youtubing screenprinting for almost 2 years now, I got my equipment about a year ago, it's not as elaborate as your setup, but for an initial investment I have a little over 5 gs into FoE Apparel. I am disabled and taking this slowly, (more like as fast as I can, but slowly in comparison to people like you, I've spent a huge portion of this time in recovery) But, I'm about to start hitting it hard, I just wanna say man I can SEE the love and dedication you put into your shop, and I'm super proud of you for making it happen. I can see your so stoked on the embroidery machine, congratulations man you mentioned embroidery a ton before getting this thing. I've been binging you and I can see the massive change in the last 2 (ish) years. KEEP HITTING IT HARD I love your quality shit. I'll end up getting a shirt or something from you just cuz I love your gear. I spent a huge portion of my life behind handlebars, then I broke my back, and now I'm trying fashion man, screenprinting is already a passion for me. Sorry for the long comment I just wanted to say, you have taught me ALOT ALOT and I appreciate you. I wish I had a basement instead of a garage, but hey my garage is alright. PS I love Bob's Burgers -Ryan FoE Apparel
Super cool to hear this stuff helps in any way man, thank you. You're taking a step in the right direction no matter how fast or slow it goes, just keep pushing forward and making shit happen. Good luck dude! 👊🏻
I have a Melco bravo that I bought back in 2016 brand new and I'd say this is the most reliable machine u can buy.I've done thousands of hats with it and ZERO issues.Finger crossed
@@leestuart38 If you have Package C, you don't have to send out the design for digitizing, the design shop pro can digitize. If you need any help with the machine, just shoot me an email. akarim909@gmail.com
Dude, I can't even imagine how much you have wrapped up in equipment! I'd say it's a real testament to what hard work and sheer determination gets you. The new machine looks awesome, and I'm looking forward to what kinds of product you can put out with this thing! Your excitement is definitely evident in the video...congrats man!
Bought 6 of these in January for our embroidery business. Took some getting used to but they are working flawlessly now. The business that you’re doing is exactly what we are building towards. Right now we are just embroidery but we want to add screen printing, patches, etc. keep rocking it man.
I own a Brother Industrial Embroidery Machine...best investment ever. I wanted to also add printing services to my business, but not too keen on screen printing. Was thinking more DTG. Only thing that has held me back to date, is the little jet clogging issues. Will see how it goes. Good Luck!
I'd definitely stay away from DTG unless you can have that thing running non stop, and even then they're really tough to make money with. Screen printing is 100% worth learning. Good luck with it man
I worked for an embroidery shop that worked on the road going horse show to horse show. I miss doing it. It’s very time consuming because the machines (especially a single head unit) can only go so fast but when your customers see the finished product it’s so satisfying
Are all the attachments in both angela and your videos included with the machine or are they add ons? Do you need to have an LLC to purchase this machine?
@@Factory928AC Most are included, just the fast clamp and XL hoop are extras I believe. You don't need any sort of LLC to buy one either. If you're interested in one, contact info for my guy is in the description, he'll get you sorted out.
Best unboxing video ever. This old lady just got her first single needle embroidery machine recently (guess that's why you showed up in my feed) and was almost as excited. But I watched the whole damn thing even though I will never buy one of those beasts.
Seriously this is awesome. Like you I ran into the same issue here, just the run around so I said hrck with it and started my own , been 5 months in and hard ass work but so satisfying just bought a 6 by 6 color manual and a flash dryer all by way of customers and family support. Thank you for the inspiration brother.
I also made the jump last year and got a swf, I got tired of the long turnaround times when I outsourced my embroidery it is a learning curve and hats will have you breaking your head but it's worth it. I sub out my digitizing next step will be learning to do it myself.
Hope yours works better then my XT plus. I like the older models we have better, but then again I bought mine right when it came out and I think there are some bugs in the software making the stitches 10-20% fatter then the artwork should be. Melco couldn’t even figured it out and I have to edit each design by adjusting the column thickness -10 to 20% good luck!
We started from scratch just like you and while it has taken a little longer to get our shit together we have taken a lot of inspiration from your setup including the same black and white workshop setup (but in our garage), well it used to be my garage its now our production studio. Just saw your latest upload once again you have inspired us, we were looking at expending into 'in house' embroidery and by the look of it the Melco EMT16 plus is the way to go. Cant wait to see more.
Love to see your excitement about the new machine. I am a melco tech and trainer out of Houston. I can’t wait to see what you have in mind with embroidery. Multimedia is a cool way to change up the look. I am very happy for you. You have a new subscriber.
This is the same machine I use daily in my garage shop. I started a few months ago ... & my plan is to eventually have 6-8 of these machines running 8+ hours per day. My shop moto is similar to yours. Mine is "Do the Fucking Work"
Dude I’ve been following you in this channel since you started printing your own shirts. I am very happy to see you add another investment to your brand. I once printed my shirts for my own brand and you’re right about the embroidery machine: IT IS THE DREAM SINCE DAY 1. Keep hustlin’ man, can’t wait what magic you’ll make using the machine 👌🏻
Hey Lee. Just to let you know. I am from Brazil and inspired by you now I have my business growing. In my studio I heat print Brazilian Jiu Jítsu gis, t shirts, hoodies.... you are great Brother.
Awesome to see a guy getting so excited over a sewing machine! lol Congrats on the embroidery machine...you be been wanting one for ever!!! Hope it can do 3-D embroidery...those machines are insanely cool!
Been watching your videos for a long time man to see the progress you have made is very inspirational. Congrats on everything man and even bigger congrats on the new melco, that’s a big bad ass machine! Can’t wait to see the products that come out of that bad boy!
Lee, I am so happy for you... There are many vids regarding this, but I am sure you will get it figured out NO PROBLEM... I am just getting into the screen pressing... but you are "the man" and DID you say you were in Canada? So am I... What province??
I don't really think PC is better than Mac, but it does seem to work with other products better. Shop is looking good man, thanks for the Sunday morning vid. Keep at it. Definitely need to pick up an embroidered hat once you crank them out.
Comparability is the issue within this industry. I might have to make the full switch if I can get used to it, we'll see when that new one shows up. Thanks man 🤘🏻
Congratulations on the melco ... I looked at these when purchasing... I didn't go with melco in the end. The key I found was a good digitizer... I didn't have the time to do it myself (I wanted to) ... I am happy with the one i use but there is lots of cowboys out there ... Great channel .. i have learned lots ... Stay safe ...
Digitizing is always overlooked, but it's the main factor between a good a bad product. I've got a great place up here in Canada that will be taking care of it for me, and I'll be learning how to do it as well so I can make adjustments if needed
@@leestuart38 I couldn't agree more ... I am glad that you have some where/one ... it took me a while to find the right one for me ... I must get 2 to 3 emails a day from different digitizers saying they can do this or that and most of the time they are not good ... Ride safe ... The harder you work the luckier you get You have sure made the above true... Best of luck to you in the future ...
looks great.. glad you got someone to partner up with on this and glad it was someone you really really wanted.. looking fwd to what you come up with. cheers.

Not gonna lie I genuinely assumed you had one already for as well put together as your shop is! This addition will elevate your brand exponentially, f#$% am I jelly.
Congratulations! Looks like an amazing machine! I have an Brother Embroidery machine and do small projects. I can tell you the things I struggled with in the beginning: learning how to hoop and figuring out the digitizing software. I would like to know what digitizing software you will use. I have been using Embird, I often wished I could have taken a boot camp for a week just to learn it!
Thanks! I definitely have a lot to learn when it comes to hooping and setting things up, but I should be able to knock that out pretty quick with my print experience helping out in the little ways in can. I'll be using melco design shop pro once I get into that part of it, I have a lot of vector design experience so it should help me out a bit
Killa!!!!!!!.....nice machine....been watching ur successful journey.....keep it up.....when u setup I'm buying my custom made embroidered logos from you.
Whats up Lee? I would like to know your feelings and thoughts on the Melco now that you've had it for a little while now? Is it Good for hats? I'm looking to buy but my bread and butter will be hats so I've been looking at the Barudan Embroidery Machine because I know they bust out hats but would like to hear your thoughts. Any help would be appreciated thanks.
Started following you a few moths ago and Wow, i'm really impressed! You give me really much inspiration to continue my own business. Thank you for what you're doing! Cheers from Sweden.
I don’t know how missed this one. “I’ve collected all the Pokémon.” 😂 Great analogy considering you’ve still got to train and evolve them. (This is my limited knowledge from having a 7 and 11yr old.) Here’s a congratulatory middle finger for making us all jealous of your new toys.
Awesome edit bro loved the b roll ha amazing piece of equipment 👌👏 been amazing watching you grow since the start to awesome you did it really fast it seems that red anodized though ha keep Killin it boss man excited for the future
Looking to add a Melco to my 3 other machines...do you have an affiliate link...if I am going to give to someone I would rather it be you! Love all your videos.
Hey Congrats Lee, I saw your progress that inspirational. Quick question why Melco? there are bunch of brand outside like Tajima, Barudan, Brother etc.? which emb software you gonna learn in order to use the Melco?. I'm looking forward all the amazing you will create.
Not sure if it's on your list of things to try, but would love to see a video on 3D embroidery! Also, what software are you going to be digitizing artwork for embroidery?
first time coming across your videos bro super excited for you! im also looking forward to getting an embroidery machine. I feel you on wanting to attack the things other embroiderers didn't want to do! looking forward to seeing more of your videos!!
lucky! if they gave me a machine i would definitely do content for them too everyday!!!!!! An embroidery machine is much needed if you are doing your co line too!!! good luck!
Whatever you do, don't buy a cheap one off of Amazon. You'll regret it. Stahls makes a few cheaper presses like their A2Z press, but the Autoclam would be a great investment if you can swing it. Those things are very nice.
I've been a printer embroider for over 23 years. My first embroidery machine were Brothers. They ran for 20+ years. They don't make them anymore so I went with the Melco. Worst mistake I ever made! Customer service was great but the machines would not work correctly. Found out Melco sends out machines as new, but they are their refurbs. Had two techs here at my shop that couldn't figure out why they would not sew a design. If you start having issues sewing a design all the way through without a thread break, then there are problems. Had to get an attorney to get my money back and have them take back their machines. That took 4 months to get resolved. I went with Tajima and have not had an issue since! Hope you have better luck with the company than I had.

I'll be using melco design shop pro once I get into that part of it, I have a lot of vector design experience so it should help me out a bit
Killa!!!!!!!.....nice machine....been watching ur successful journey.....keep it up.....when u setup I'm buying my custom made embroidered logos from you.
Hell ya!
🤟🏽 way to go Lee! Goals! Can't wait for the learning vids
Thank you! Super stoked to have this thing
Whats up Lee? I would like to know your feelings and thoughts on the Melco now that you've had it for a little while now? Is it Good for hats? I'm looking to buy but my bread and butter will be hats so I've been looking at the Barudan Embroidery Machine because I know they bust out hats but would like to hear your thoughts. Any help would be appreciated thanks.
Nice ending! 🤣🤣🤣 Love you videos. Trying to start up my business and your videos really motivate me.

Thank you for what you're doing!

I don’t know how missed this one. “I’ve collected all the Pokémon.” 😂 Great analogy considering you’ve still got to train and evolve them. (This is my limited knowledge from having a 7 and 11yr old.) Here’s a congratulatory middle finger for making us all jealous of your new toys.
Looking forward to see what you get with it 😎👍🏻
We'll be doing some killer stuff in no time 🤘🏻

Hey Congrats Lee, I saw your progress that inspirational. Quick question why Melco? there are bunch of brand outside like Tajima, Barudan, Brother etc.? which emb software you gonna learn in order to use the Melco?. I'm looking forward all the amazing you will create.
This machine fits best with my goals and how I want to grow, the limitless ability to network these things is pretty amazing. They're also really fast
How about trying sublimating on 100% polyester thread?
Definitely something I can try
@@leestuart38 Cool. A video to go along with it? I'd like to see the results.
Not sure if it's on your list of things to try, but would love to see a video on 3D embroidery! Also, what software are you going to be digitizing artwork for embroidery?
Absolutely at the top of my list, that's one of the things local shops gave me trouble with. I'll be using melco design shop for the digitizing
first time coming across your videos bro super excited for you! im also looking forward to getting an embroidery machine. I feel you on wanting to attack the things other embroiderers didn't want to do! looking forward to seeing more of your videos!!
Thanks a lot man. I've got a lot to learn so I can shut those guys down haha, but I'll make it happen 🤘🏻
jumped on this video as soon as i saw it ! Love your vids man
Thanks!
lucky! if they gave me a machine i would definitely do content for them too everyday!!!!!! An embroidery machine is much needed if you are doing your co line too!!! good luck!
I can't wait to crank out some videos with this thing!
Congrats on the new machine, how much is it?? I'm thinkin of gettin one
Hit the link in the description and they'll get you a price
Can you recommend a great heat press for beginners?
Whatever you do, don't buy a cheap one off of Amazon. You'll regret it. Stahls makes a few cheaper presses like their A2Z press, but the Autoclam would be a great investment if you can swing it. Those things are very nice.
Hey ! Loved the embroidery video . How do you like the melco ??
Thanks! It's taken some getting used to, I have no prior experience with embroidery so it's a bit of a learning curve. But the machine seems solid
I've been a printer embroider for over 23 years. My first embroidery machine were Brothers. They ran for 20+ years. They don't make them anymore so I went with the Melco.
Worst mistake I ever made! Customer service was great but the machines would not work correctly. Found out Melco sends out machines as new, but they are their refurbs. Had two techs here at my shop that couldn't figure out why they would not sew a design. If you start having issues sewing a design all the way through without a thread break, then there are problems.
Had to get an attorney to get my money back and have them take back their machines. That took 4 months to get resolved. I went with Tajima and have not had an issue since!
Hope you have better luck with the company than I had.
The smoke fart had me laughin ha ha ha
I'll never pass up an opportunity for a fart joke 😂
How i wish to have the embroidery ONE DAY .
