New guy needs a hand

I am relatively new to the embroidering field but have been getting calls for patches now and then. I currently limit my patches to felt or similar material because it does not fray.

I recently purchased an old A3DW3 machine that, like most old merrow's, runs like a top. I hope to use it until I win the Lotto and can afford an MG-3U.

I personally like a Merrow stitch at the edge and am working towards that.



Question #1 is: How close can I get with the A3… Continue

18-E

I have been surfing the world wide web and seen a lot of buzz surrounding the 18-E. For a regular crocheter like myself, I can't help but get excited about the possibility of Merrow going into production for this much anticipated release.



It is my hope that it will be released this fall so I can start my blanket business(finally! lol). I already have 5 orders for my football themed Eagles blanket, not to mention getting a head start on my homespun christmas gifts for friends, family… Continue

"The tighter springs helped.  The servo motor really, really helped.  The lower looper thread must be really, really tight.  You almost think it will break under the tension but it doesn't.   Good luck, Dave"

Thread Selection

Can I use my Madeira 40 Embroidery Thread to merrow edges of patches that I have embroidered.  Might use a little more thread but would not have to shop to match and have to acquire a huge selection right now.I have it threaded on machine but can't get the stitch close enough. Also,  I read that the MG3U does 1/8" to 3/16" inch edge.  Is this a manual adjustment?ThanksSomeday I'll get this machine making money.JSee More
