Purchased A $15k Ricoma Embroidery Machine That I Can't Use. 

Dude I totally understand. I see a bunch of sell out influencers on RU-vid. I’ve declined a few offers because I don’t want to be tied down

You catch my attention to be honest man... continue to be honest and clean inside and out

Thanks for your truth, I respect that. Being honest to yourself and others goes a long way. it's also a brave move. Alot of others will not step up and do what you did, you just opened the door for others to do the same thing. Thanks again.

❤Great advice to everyone out there, Ruben! Put yourself and your business first. We appreciate you!

I find your RU-vid channel a couple a weeks ago and I can view how honest professional you are and that my man will make you succeed in the business . I love your content , I just started my tshirt business trying to get out of my 9/5 job and you are an inspiration to me my friend . I am very happy that I found your content . GOD Bless you my Brother and keep the good work

Thanks for your candor. So many people trying to figure this industry out needs to hear this. May I suggest something? Perhaps you can rehouse the machine with someone who you can also mentor. Perhaps there is someone who follows you that resides close to your locale that you can mentor/teach and has the space without the restrictions in their living situation that you have that can house your machine and give you access to use it when you want. In exchange you and them can learn about the machine and you can continue to film content and fulfill your lease obligation.

Thank you for your transparency!. Keep yourself and your business first. Being loyal to yourself will always be more important than being loyal to another company that will drop you in the blink of an eye the moment you do something or say something they don't like. Your honesty also shows others to make sure they only do business with companies that don't lock them down and prevent them from working and doing business with other companies. Again, we appreciate your honesty, and we thank you for all you do! Many blessings!

Hey 👋🏿 bro welcome to the Ricoma family

That's that bullshit right here with these companies. Handle your business bro invest in yourself. Too many people working links for pennies. Promote YOU. much love and good luck. In the end you got you and yours

Talk to Allan A Wade He has taken the embroidery knowledge to the next level.

Truth first, loyalty is earned. Tell your story, and let the narrative be determined by the underlying quality of the person and the product who wants you to be their mouthpiece.

Try building a sound proof booth around it, using moving blankets. Wont prevent the vibrations on the floor, but maybe muffle some of the sound.

Thank you. Question: can you get a couple of foam mats under it (like exercise mats), to muffle the sound?

Carlos Gil JC productions I wanted to let you know that I’ve been using that same machine for the last six months and I’ve had no issues. It’s a very good machine if you need me to help you please let me know. Yes you need to constantly be making sure that your attention is right, not all the time, but the majority of the time, but except for that, I have had no issues I’m going to continue watching your video

Keep bangin my brother! You are an independent contractor so don't worry about signing deals just use products and give your opinions and shorten learnin curves like you've been doin!!! Brands will come to you and mk them pay you in advance for your testing and utilizing their shit shit because they get waaaay more you than YOU from them!!

Again congrats 🎉🎉🎉😂👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🤴🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍🏿

#thatpart Appreciate you bro Keep Going its pretty tricky out here and sometimes the don't want there truths out there !😢😢

I believe he may have 6 or more, and both more muti needles embroody machines single heads

Well said. Thank you for your honesty.

good afternoon this just popped up i would get rubber baby mats to help with vibration i have the same machine in my Livingroom in an apartment and i don't have that issue with noise/vibrations etc. sorry but try the mats 1 layer or 2 and get the business running. don.t be discouraged i also. have a new born and i put this thing to work. Blessings

Perhaps a storage unit would be more affordable? There might be some available with a power source for the machine?

Dam they said you cant use it? Excuse my language. Have you tried running it at 300 stitches per minute? Its what I run mines at. It should make that much noise on a the lowest speed. Longer times to stitch but also a bit quiet.

Horse mat and a ENCLOSURE might help you .

also just a heads up - I work in property management. Read your lease! Most leases state that you cannot run a business in your apartment. Which can lead to eviction. Be careful!

Buy a big desk expand the machine foot print

Why would you buy a commercial machine when you live in an apartment. How abot renting a storage unit? I own 4 Ricomas and 3 Brothers. I love the Ricomas, they are beasts! I gope you can find a solution, but think about a storage unit and make product to sell instead of influencer.
