Hey Sam! I've run an embroidery/screen printing shop for the last 10 years. Running 20+ heads every day. This looks like a Tajima clone, which is good. If you dont have one, get a tensioning tool. You'll need it.
Your digitizing will make a way bigger impact on the quality of your sew than your machine.
For flats, the green hoops are good, but magnetic hoops are an absolute game changer. Mighty Hoop makes good ones, but there are good ones that are China clones. I think the company name was Sewtech. Big recommendation for magnets. Let's you hoop over seams, zippers, ect, consistent tension...
If you're using Rayon thread, white can tend to break often. It's just a thing. A polyester thread is a little more robust. Saves you a lot of headache with thread breaks.
Man. Theres so many things lol. I'm excited for you! Keep it up.
That’s sweet! Great outcome.
Thanks for all the tips.
Thank for sharing.
Wow Sam, I am so happy for you. Looking forward to seeing your merchandise.
I love your new machine and I’m so excited to be able to order items, this is awesome 👏👏👏
That is so cool❤
That is a great looking machine. Thank you for sharing. I had no idea the working surface was so large.
That’s a great addition to your offerings. Thank you for the demo…not something I’ll be doing but it’s so interesting to see how this all is done. Good Luck with your new product line.
Love your videos and enjoy watching them. May the lord bless and protect you Sam and family with the embroidery machine. Looks fine
GREAT addition! Congrats! 👍👏😍🥰❤
Thank you! 🤗
I always used wash away stablizer!! You gave a wonderful demo!!
So Kool!
Great job!
Very nice Sam! Congratulations!
Thank you very much!
Wow Sam thats cool! I never expected you to go in this direction , but wow I can see how this will do amazing things for your family!
Ohhh neat. Especially since you showed it off as a new person. I looked into these about 3 years ago and just got lost in all the different models and types.
Wow Sam talk about taking a sharp left turn... Congrats
Sam I think you did a good job...❤
Wow ‼️
Awesome toy! Congratulations Sam!
Thank you 🤗
Awesome, I am inspired by so much that you do. You need to make a display case for your FIRST HAT. 20 years from now you can look back at it and be inspired all over again.
So glad that this video popped up on my feed because I was just looking into this machine and researching about it. Thank you so much for sharing. You got me as a new subscriber.
I'm new to embroidery, but have been LOVING this machine! It's opening up an entirely new world of opportunities for my business! I'm close to 500,000 stitches on the machine and have had zero issues that weren't user error or settings related. This machine seems great so far!
I love it and I want one.
Hi Sam, you got some cool stuff ❤
Congratulations - how wonderful - I’m excited to see what all you crate in the future. ❤😊
Thank you so much!
Neat, Sam!
Awesome dude! You never cease to "SAMaze" me! See you around your workshop, it's always great fun for this ole geezer to see what you're up to!
I appreciate it! I'm very excited for this new expansion of craft/business for me.
Thank you for the video!
My pleasure!
I just got your video. I wish you the best in your business adventures.
I am a home embroiderer...not a business. I have enjoyed this for many years.
Good luck. I look forward to traveling along with your business adventures.
I love my embroidery machine I do need another one this might be a good one to look into. Thanks for showing it off I’m sure you have found out already hats need to be digitized inside out and bottom to the top. Mainly inside out. Ive been doing embroidery for about 3 years now and that a huge part of my tshirt business. I have some really good videos on my channel here. I have a ricmoa but most will transfer over to what you got. Again thanks for your insight.
Wow Sam, you are really expanding your business...good luck.
Sam, you got mail. I'm excited
Really interesting. ❤❤❤❤
Good for you! The embroidery machine should bring you lots of new business!
That's one fancy sewing machine lol. Very cool
❤WOW SAM!! I love it!! Fun Watching! Sure faster than the Old School Hand Work I used to do.😅 God Bless & Much Success with Your New SetUp for Embroidery.
Nice job… we are three years into starting an embroidery business… I digiatize also ( I was a graphic designer for 27 years) we have been doing farmers markets weekly in our area
That is awesome! Do you use Hatch or another software? I am in a trial with Hatch but want to make sure I get the best & correct software to make my life easier! Buy once, cry once...
I got mine yesterday and once I finish this training I’m gonna get to work.
Awesome!!
Wishing you all the success in the world.for your new venture praying God blessings upon you all.
With God's love,michael uk care home resident
Great video👍
Thanks 👍
It looks as though you really enjoyed working on that machine. The results speak for themselves.
I am very excited for all the new opportunities and doors it can open for our small business for sure!
I certainly wasn't expecting embroidery!
It's a whole new world in the "workshop" now... I have an iron, and ironing board, and all sorts of notions now! :-O
@@Samcraftcom I see an addition onto your workshop in your future, a room for all things involving fabric. 😄
Thank you for your honest review of the SmartStitch machine! I have the ST-1201 saved to my Amazon wish list and hoping to purchase in near future.
Glad it was helpful!
great video! mine is coming on Tuesday....can't wait and thanks for sharing
Awesome! Congrats!!!
@@Samcraftcom thank you
For digitizing yourself and your first time stitching one, that looks great! In the future, caps will work and stitch better if you digitize the design to stitch from the center out.
GREAT video showcasing this machine! Best of luck in your new embroideryendeavors!
Thanks for the tips, I really appreciate it!
Great stuff Sam!!! I got a brother machine to tinker around with embroidery recently and its pretty fun as a hobbyist to use. Still figuring out if I would want to invest into a big machine like this. Thanks for the highlights. Can't wait to see what else you make!
That is awesome!
Best of luck in your new endeavor Sam!
Thank you!!
Thank you for this video-I had no idea about this machine-I have a 6 needle Brother but I'd love to have a 12 or 15! Enjoy!
Glad it was helpful!
Sam you might explore this option for your practicing designs. I use cheap muslin fabric. It’s cheaper than the stabilizer. I use 1 layer if I get a mid price range and I use 2 layers if I get the cheapest. If you can get the wide back muslin, like 90” or 108” then it is cheaper still per sq inch. 😊I iron out creases and might starch it first. For something like the towel in this video I will put fusible that you iron on in the back of where I want the design. I like Pellon SF101. I usually cut it a little bigger than I need and if it shows through after the embroidery I will use a warm iron on the back, get it heated up, and then you can peel the excess off.
What an amazing machine how fun was that? loved the video❤️
Thank you 🤗
Thank you so much for sharing this information. I have been looking and wanted to buy an embroidery machine smart stitch comes with so many accessories that you would normally have to buy separately and I love Facebook and the customer support. I am sold I will be saving up to buy this machine and I like that I can buy it from Amazon. thank you so much good luck with your endeavors.
Glad it was helpful!
I hope this will help you!! I found that when you use fsbric like towels and fabric for quilting, you cand use different stabilizers but try using wash out when you know something is going to be washed!!!
Sweet
Welcome to the world of embroidery Sam!
Thank you so much! Especially for your videos, Digitizing 101 Course (which I'm taking), and all your great content too!
Sam, go to and promote your new machine at the local bowling alleys.
10 pin bowlers and teams all want to wear embroidered shirts
Woo-hoo!! Oh the possibilities...Sara is so jealous. This is great. I see ordering some Bearded Woodworker beenies in the future. Good luck, Sam!
I will HAPPILY make you anything you want! :) Send me an email
@@Samcraftcom right on, dude!!! Thanks 😊
I’m ready to order shirts and hats!
Send me an email with what you'd like!
You should do an "in the hoop design" purse or another object. They are awesome.
Embroidery Gardens has really good in the hoop purses and more
Congrats on the new kit. That looks like a super nice machine. I would love to send you some business.
Thanks! You can reach me best via email.
What a cool machine. The price actually shocked me and in a good way. I assumed when you got to price that it was going to be in the 10 grand + range. This is definitely going to put your business to a true print on demand business as far as custom work in almost any media. Lanette and I are so happy for you guys
Most machines of this size and feature start at $10k, so you're exactly right on this price being a nice surprise. It was a big consideration factor for me.
@@Samcraftcom do you do custom requests on a SamCraft hat. I’m a Tampa bay Buccaneers fan so a black cap with red SamCraft on front and American flag on the side
I dusted once.
It came back.
I’m not falling for that again.
*I would love to have that saying embroidered!*
Interesting. I would have loved to see a color change. Often there come problems, especially with Rayon thread which often slips out of the needle.
really interested to see the current digitisation process, 30yrs ago I wrote cad software for an industrial embroidery machine company (16 head?), in those days the designs had to go out to a punch tape roll as the embroidery machine worked off punched tape 😂, it was really interesting writing code to generate stitch patterns, entry exit points, stitch density from scanned images and fonts, lost touch when I left so would love to see that it's leaped on from that now.
👍😃Danke für das Video.
Super.
Ich habe mittlerweile 4 Stickmaschinen. Bringt viel Geld und Spaß.
WOW 15 thread!!!!
Oooh, you're in for a learning curve! There is a lot to know about machine embroidery and you have a fine machine to make it happen.
If you haven't considered a digitizing software, I can't say enough good things about Hatch. It's more intuitive than others I've used. Not to mention that they offer monthly payments...because all good digitizing software is pricy. Makes it possible for the software to pay for itself immediately.
Thanks for the tips! I am a week into my trial of Hatch and spending most of my time going through their academy to learn properly as much as I can. :)
Great idea for you to add to your work shop. Looks fairly simple to operate. You should set the woods on fire with this machine. Should be having a lot of orders to come from it. Don't be whining when they come in and you find yourself inside while Ashley is outside playing with the boys. lol
Im sure its 1200 not 12000 but In the future for thin material like that sack use cutaway maybe even double up
Thanks a lot Sam... I gotta spend another 6k.... :)
If it fits your business goals and budget who am I to stop you from greatness?! :-D
Back in the 80's my dad had a company that sold knitting machines (they made narrow elastics, one of his bigger customers was Leggs). The company who made those machines came out with something similar, one of the first 'computer' embroidery machines. If I remember correctly the thing used almost like a punch-tape for the designs, so these things have come a LOOONG way since then, lol.
Man, you loading the spools brought back a ton of memories, lol. My brother made creels for the machines my dad sold, and I'd help with loading those things for testing the machines when they were uncrated after overseas shipping (machines came from Italy if I remember correctly). My dad was the only US-based importer for Comez corporation, so we pretty much imported any of those machines that were in the US at the time.
could you make a digitizing video? Or what application do yo use? Does the smartstich come with one? Love your videos keep it up brother!
Second that notion. How are you digitizing? Thanks!
Sam, can you do “custom” logos? We have a RC club, and are looking for a logo that we can put on hats, shirts, etc…
I sure can, send me an email with what you have in mind!
Ooh can you do pretty things on jeans. Yup I'm a flower acholic lol
Impressive!!! I’m drooling because my machine is a 6 needle. I often exceed (by far) 6 colors. That’s a lot of thread changes. I think my hubby’s in trouble! 😂😂. Congratulations on entering the addiction of embroidery and digitizing. What digitizing program do you use??
What a brilliant looking machine I’m in the uk . Is this available in the uk .
Sam, Have always loved the things you and your family do. Was very surprised that you stepped into the embroidery world! I laughed when you decided a flour sack towel was good enough for practice. This is a commercial machine it requires commercial type fabrics. Your asking for trouble with too light weight fabrics. Broken needles, Bobbin rats nests could have happened. I've had 55 years of sewing experience, Whether its a high end home machine or industrial I have worked on them all. I suggest you learn fabrics first, second learn your threads or flosses and don't forget different needles for different threads and fabrics. Get educated. You will appreciate the knowledge later when your asked to embroider a leather Motorcycle seat or saddle bags. I will be glad to steer you to books. I leave you with one last thought. Change your needles often. Needles don't cost much and whether its a ball point needle or a sharp or a variation, your end result will look much better.. Also, try the water stabilizers, (Sulky) is one brand. Spritz with water and the stabilizer is completely gone. No need for the tweezers to take out tiny pieces of left over stabilizer. The backside of your work is as important as the front!
Damn Sam did you hit the powerball! 😂😂 I can’t get one machine
What machine are you looking for?
@@Samcraftcom CNC
Good 🥰❤🙏🙏
Thanks 🤗
When we going to see where you connected both shops . I see it in background of Green Acre Homestead videos.
Bravo! Sam I will be ordering hats. Do they come personalize?
That can be arranged for sure! Send me an email with what you would like and let's chat!
Interesting video and very nice machine you have there. Can it make patches like a sew on patch. I have been looking for a logo patch for Browning shotgun logo. While I have found a lot of patches they are too small . I was hoping to find a patch that is 10 x 7 or 10 x 5. Good luck to you with your business. Love you videos!
Yes, this machine is fully capable of making patches. Both sew on, or iron on, etc.
Just another RUclipsr Promoter for this machine. Sheeeesh Would love to see the video of you trying to get support on it, while trying to get an order done.
When that day comes I will show-n-tell. :)
Great machine, but is it going to get dusty in the workshop?
It is a possibility and something I will actively manage very soon. :)
Hi Sam, great video! What design software do you use? Also, do you know if the specific software is compatible with Mac? Thank you in advance.
Sam, what digitizer are you using? Thanks for the videos! Congratulations on your new shop!
Hatch 3. Still in the 30 day trial and going through their academy to learn it proper, but will be buying their top tier level for digitizing.
What type of embroidery designs are you going to be able to do?
why not Bai vision or mirror 22 ?

3:38 - What’s Included
They have sold out - anything to do with you do you think? Wish I had had one of these 45 odd years ago. I used to do hand embroidery to sell when we were on our uppers at that time. Did it and cloth toy making at night when the littlies were in bed. I had an old Singer treadle machine because that is all I could afford. I now use it as a display stand but the innards are still there.
Hey Sam, does it do shirts .I would love one with the " God is good" on it.
It absolutely can!
Interesting. How long does it take to a hat similar to the one you did at the end? Does the color changing significantly take longer to complete?(like 2 or 3 colors)
The hat was done in about 10 minutes if memory serves me correctly. Color changes are automatic and very quick -- negligible on total run time per project really.
Hi Sam, how are you going to keep dust off the embroidery machine when your running any of the laser machines? Will that even be an issue?
The lasers are very clean in their dust and fumes thanks to my extraction system. The CNC and any other traditional woodworking tools aren't, though. I'm considering moving them to the old workshop and letting it be a more dirty environment. Between the three main avenues (laser, CNC, embroidery) the CNC work has been the least active.
6k. Dang.
Are these or like these made in America?
👍👍👍👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Is it hard to thread the needles?
It seems easier than a handheld needle and thread to me. You will thread and re-thread the needles often with a machine like this due to thread breaks. I have gotten used to the process after only using the machine a few days and don't find it too terrible of a task.
Does this machine support 3D puff embroidery?
It does, but so do all embroidery machines. The 3D puff is created by external processes and how the file is digitized. The machine doesn't know any different. :)
The speed is 1200. 12,000 would be an insane speed.
How is the the Smartstich S-1501 holding up. I'm considering one but I want to stich Richardson 112 hats and the internet says you need special stronger machines. Please advise
So far, very well! The hat I stitched in this one was a Richardson 112 and it went right over the middle seam.
