Thank you for sharing this video, and not scrapping it. It’s the struggle that makes great content. I keep a scrap shirt hooped up in a large Mighty Hoop next to my machine so I can run a quick “I” test of the colors in a design prior to the final stitch out on the expensive blank. You mentioned breaking the word apart in order to edit it, you don’t have to, just use the reshape tool and click on the letter’s edge and the nodes will be available. Also the first time you click on it, the purple diamonds should be available which will allow you to move each letter along the baseline. One final thing, your machine is new enough that you should be running flats at least at 800-850 reliably. Keep up the Great work.
Thanks you brotha, I like that idea of keeping something ready to run some tension testing, you got all the pro strats! Yeaaaa also as I was editing I realized you can easily just mess with the letter spacing option for text as well. Idk why I'm always hesitant to run the machine up there in speed, bad experiences with the Melco maybe 🤔
@ Once you get your tension good, let her rip! I normally run Richardson 112’s at 840 rpm, if I have small text I might drop it to 800-820. I have Two Barudan Pro 3’s and the oldest is 4 years old. Your Tajima is just as capable.
@tkstitch I've used hatch with the trial version. I was more confused using it. Most likely user error. But to me es is more straight forward as in the tools and etc. But everyone is different. Not sure if es has a trial version. But I know alot more companies are changing to subscription based.
You attach the thread to the hook on the pen while threaded through the needle and presser foot. Then you pull it away steadily and a red line on the pen give you a reading of your tension. It'll work on any multi-needle machine ricoma included
Love your finished Rodeo design
Great content. Am learning alot. Keep making videos sir
Heeeey as long as someone is getting something out of them I'll keep at it, thanks for watching!
Wow! That looks great!
Thank you! Took a minute but we got it!

Gotcha, Barbudans are beasts as well, if i ever get the chance to get another machine I'd definitely be interested in one of those bad boys.
Nice. I also started with embrilliance. Didn't really like it either. Now im using Wilcom ES.
Not sure if you mentioned before but did you ever use Hatch? Just wonder if any one who's used both would say Wilcom Es is worth the switch.

Just looked it up, Es also has a trial, might have to check it out myself too. We'll see what John Deer's new software is like in a few days
How do you use your tension pen? Wonder if this would work for a Ricomma.
