Pics of embroidery machine being moved

nearly 2.2 million... yes, that is 2,200,000 stitches.... great for a machine that only holds 2 million in its memory.... and even better when you consider that a floppy only holds about 200k. Thankfully we used a USB memory stick so we did not have to split it down quite that far!

56 hours of machine time at an average speed of 650 per minute... this includes setup times for the initial fabric being sashed, threading, all bobbin changes... loading of each of the design elements, etc.. so total time of 56 hours. And every 12 hours or so we would have to unsash and pull back the fabric to oil those areas on the arm..... then resash and line up the embroidery.

ha, thanks.. let me have a BBQ first so I can get all the people to help me wrestle the machine into place and reattach the front table.. I figure a few cases of beer and the studio should be put together..... of course the next morning I may have thought this out better. lol

Wow, that is pretty cool! I could use that to carry in the groceries! lol

It has one 1000mm by 1000mm sash. nearly 40 inches square. The sash stays on the machine so you clamp on all four sides.

here is a pic of the first thing we embroidered using the machine... see the dollar in the lower right side for a sense of scale.

how funny Brandt! mine is a 4 head converted to a single head with a 40 inch by 40 inch frame. but I did not show you the pics of where the machine was placed... in a garage next to my house... through the trees and manhandled into position as the truck could only go so far down the drive because of huge branches. Ah, thank goodness for neighbors!

ha, isnt that what chainsaws and emb machine tech were built for? let them sort out the mess.

it was a bridge model 4 head.. so remove 3 of the heads and add a nearly 8 ft by 8 ft table... and two stepper motors.. and voila... a singlehead that can sew 1000mm by 1000mm or so.
