I'm still confused why the hoops don't latch into the arms all the way. Is that normal? I have some Melco's and they lock in. When I first got them I had to adjust the 2 screws on the arms so they would latch all the way in. Have you tried to adjust the screws on the front of the arms?
I just wanted to address the don’t buy Ricoma comment. I have owned 2 Ricoma machines and both have worked like a champ! With and mechanical items things will happen. The bracket issue could be because the screws were over tightened repeatedly and finally failed. After owning several Ricoma machines would I buy another? Yes, I can’t say it’s the greatest machine, but it’s a great value and hasn’t let me down so far. Just my 10 cents, 2 cents after taxes…
Love this thank you, at the beginning of my RU-vid journey I was just learning my Ricoma machine never owned one before so I was going through a lot of frustrations, but now 3 years in I know my machine and understand when things do happen and sometimes it's probably our fault 😝
Brittany, thanks for making a great video about real issues. I had the same issue with my bracket. Fortunately I am a machinist and I installed heli-coils in both brackets just so I don’t have to deal with it again. Most people aren’t machinists so I won’t bore you with details. My point is that you may know someone who is handy that might be able to fix brackets for a fraction of replacement brackets. Just curious, was the $61 for both brackets or just one?
Great video and very good colour choices. Di my only question is you used cutaway stabilizer in the back and so you need to cut it away. How close to stitching do you cut. Isn’t it scratchy when wearing
@@tenapeters8107 happy to hear you enjoyed the video. When cutting the stabilizer I cut as close as I can to the thread but I apply tender touch on the backside to avoid scratching. I always add this to kids shirts.
@@juan2617 personally, I wouldn't change anything until it goes bad. You know the old phrase don't fix it till it's broken. However, you just have to pay attention to your machine and notice when things start to change, which is what happened here
@@brittanybriggs3806 definitely now do you feel that it might be quicker and cheaper for example for me to pick up whatever you need from Rico because I live literally 10 minutes away from the warehouse and then send it off because they’re shipping and handling is definitely more expensive
At the end, for a cleaner look in that kind of fabric you should use water soluble topping, the stitches tend to sink and move, the topping holds it nice and tight, you can remove it later by spraying water from behind the backing, let it absorb for a minute and it will remove itself from the small letters
It came out so cute. Great job, Brittney. I use a chopstick to hold down fabric. I got that idea from Boricua Sewing & Crafts. She is also a you tuber.
Hi Brittney! I love watching your videos! Could you possibly do a video where you change from flats to hats. I have only done a hat with my Ricoma during my initial MT-1501 Training. I am still intimidated by hats!
I wish I had a way to send you a picture of the shirt I did for my nephew for school. He loves Kennedy Soace Center sooo much and actually lives close by.
Great video. I ordered the HTVRONT autopress but canceled the order before shipping after watching a video with concerns from other buyers about the pressure issue. Now (this year) they (HTVRONT) came out with a nice MANUAL model that has the pressure adust knob and a swing-away top, plus the unit has good reviews. I'm receiving it tomorrow from Amazon, hope it works ok for me. Thanks for the good review. PS Nice shirt you made for your mom, tell her I said Hi ❤
I've used several DTF companies & they all have a thin white edge around everything. I think it's like screenprint where they use a white underlay so it can be used on any color shirt without distorting the color of the print. I'll have to check out 'My Craft Source' for pricing. Thanks!
DIVE IN! One step at a time. In a month you will be so glad you did. Or hire someone who can come and step you through some basics. I have a Melco and they offer a personal trainer model. This was a true saver for me. It looks so intimidating. The training portion made it doable.
@@MistyBlueJudah welcome, thanks for subscribing. I talk a little bit about cost in this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JIZ1MnzVUv4.htmlsi=G4bTD8bstgwtoplF
That’s so cute. Once my daughter decides on a name for my first grandchild I will put her name on a few things. I’m sure more then a few items. Those turned out great. ❤
@@angelabowman1085 I know 100 subscribers away, it's so exciting and I'm happy to see you like the longer videos sometimes I get worried even though I personally like watching longer videos myself
Brittany I have the sleeve hoop from mighty hoop but I have a brother. I’d so let you borrow it if we had the same machine. It’s definitely worth the investment.
It looks great! It’s true what you said, the thread gave it its own accent 😊 when I get my machine and all, I’ll be doing this for my threads. you guys rock! Stay blessed love 🥰
i have my hoops hanging on s hooks over a rood ie like a thin curtain rod on the wall at the back off my machine. they are up out off the way and neat and tidy. Under the machine i have a little shelve bookcase sitting where all the stabilizers are. out the way and in a space thats usually an empty spot and then i have a little bin in front off that shelve
