Watching this as I embroider the same style of beanie. 150 pcs with a 5 minute cycle time, on products that my customer purchased online. I’m charging him $11/each and explained to him that I could save him some money next year if he allows my to purchase and mark up the hats. He is a contractor and I explained that it would be like a customer hiring him to put up a building and the customer supplied all of the materials, just using him for his equipment, personnel, and expertise in the industry. He fully understood and asked me to contact him next Fall. Don’t under sell yourself, there are lots of people selling junk at low margins, your products are much better then some of the stuff I’ve seen. I shoot for at least $50/hr, my Barudan machine and software were nearly $20,000.

Hey! Greatly appreciate the time you spent to type this all out. You definitely make a great point about the customer supplied material. For me, I am fairly small still so I do give way to please my customer but I certainly will have to make adjustments for growth. At this moment, it is what works for me.

I really like these longer form videos with costings etc. Also, please can you explain what active feed is and why you would increase/decrease it? Perhaps a demo on when and why you need to alter it.

@LovesBranding Год назад

Thank you for your feedback! I am trying to do a good mix of these in-depth videos as well as my shorter demo videos. Unfortunately these take a bit longer to make. I may make a full video for acti-feed. But for a quick answer, it is the top thread tension for the Melco embroidery machines. It is motorized so it allows for adjustment during embroidery to account for different material thicknesses (ie on hats with the middle seam). You usually want to set it lower and let the machine auto adjust the tension, but if its set too low (at least for me) it will sometimes shred the thread.

@luckyluke2102 Год назад

I love Melco embroidery machines. Own the Bravo myself and embroider lots of stuff. But what I no longer do are these commissioned works where large quantities are to be embroidered. You always have to sell yourself below price. In Germany, people are even more stingy and simply don't understand how complicated embroidery is. I wish you all the best for your business. You do that very well.

@LovesBranding Год назад

Yes unfortunately the larger orders are better handled by true commercial embroidery machines that run 6+ heads at a time. For now, I am happy with the pricing/quantities that I can fulfill. If the orders are too large or the amount is too much for my customer, I'm usually honest to let them know that a larger shop would be a better option.

@lepat63 Год назад

you have to use a ruler for measuring the gap of the beanie and Erasable Fabric Marking Pen for the centre , otherwise you have to do it again and again

@LovesBranding Год назад

I agree, if you are learning the placement. I still do that when I am uncertain or have an unusual design. However, I am at a point where I know how my laser aligns on beanies and can eyeball it near exactly. This saves a bit of time

@lepat63 Год назад

@@LovesBranding if you align the first then the others are going to be at the same spot , my PR Brother machines at least they do

Do you know what size stabilizer you use to perfectly fit the mighty hoop?

@LovesBranding 10 месяцев назад

Each size is a little bit different but I usually keep 8" x 8" precut stabilizer on hand for the 5.5" x 5.5" hoops because it fits on the hoop station perfectly. For larger hoops, I just buy 15" x 15" stabilizer which is good for my largest (10" x 13" hoop) but can also be cut down or folded easily for smaller hoops.

@000blackapple000 Год назад

I have a ricoma mt1501 but I was wondering how much cost those melco???

@LovesBranding Год назад

Depends. I believe their Bravo X is around $10k and their EMT16x is closer to $16k but they do have discounts and financing available. You would have to reach out to them directly for the exact prices.

@user-dv7ro8xp4f 3 месяца назад

labor???? 20.00 and hr = $80

@LovesBranding 2 месяца назад

Yep! Time is not free! 😭

@johndoeee888 6 месяцев назад

So basically charging $1 per 1000 stitches.

@LovesBranding 6 месяцев назад

That's a good starting point but depending on your overhead, it might be more

@makro8218 Год назад

I think the profit is way to low for this project. Our business is underpayed. You charged the labor cost for the embroidery file to the customer? For this design it takes near to an hour, digitizing, run a test stich, adjust the file…

@LovesBranding Год назад

Hi! Thanks for the feedback! For everybody, the costing is going to be a bit different. Since I work out of my basement and have very little overhead, I am able to accept these projects at a better rate. I didn't include the digitizing/labor cost of the file because it is one I already had for this customer for previous projects. I charge anywhere from $15-50 for the process depending on the complexity and size of the design 👍

@makro8218 Год назад

@@LovesBranding I charge 50$, for large, verry complex designs also above 100$.
