Welcome to the Stitch Matters Program
Merrow (the company) Blog
the 2012 Merrow Product Catalog has shipped!
After many (many, many) hours of work the 2012 Marketing packages are headed out the door. Here's the announcement:
...and the Letter from Nate:
After several months of work, it is my pleasure to present the 2012 series of Merrow catalogues and brochures, describing in detail the value and application of Merrow products.
This year we have created several types of material to help educate our customers about the wide variety of products offered.
1. A Product Catalogue showcasing our sewing machines, some accessories and service programs
2. Specific Application Brochures (the Active Seam brochure) highlighting niche markets
3. Product Family Brochures (the Needle Brochure) describing a group of products
4. Line Cards (all available online) listing every Merrow product in a one page printable format
5. Application Cards (all available online) that describe dozens of the most popular Merrow applications
6. The 2012 Stitch Book (available upon request) profiling 50 sewn Merrow samples
At Merrow we work hard to support our agents and customers, and this latest release of marketing material is one of many major initiatives planned in 2012 to increase the awareness of Merrow in the market place.
Everything available in this packet is also available online; in fact the website www.merrow.com contains a wealth of information and detail about all of these products and much much more.
We hope that Merrow will remain an important part of your business in 2012, and I expect that should you need any specific information about our products, you will contact me directly; I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
Nate Murray
Director of Marketing

Looper Bending - 19 Points
Looper Bending for Merrow Sewing Machines
Before installing and adjusting Merrow Loopers, please make sure you have a Merrow 30-10 Looper Bender.
NOTE: Loopers are designed to be bent only in the shank area.
1. Install the lower looper, pushing it all the way to the right.
2. Tighten the looper set screw securely against the flat spot on the looper shank.
3. Install a new needle into the Needle Carrier. (Be sure that the needle shank is all the way back against the carrier stop pin. Tighten the needle carrier nut securely.
4. Turn the handwheel in the operating direction until the needle is at the bottom of its travel, and the looper is all the way to the left.
5. Continue to slowly turn the handwheel until the tip of the Lower Looper is positioned at the left edge of the needle. In this position, the tip of the looper should firmly touch the needle without deflecting it. The tip of the looper should be positioned one-sixteenth of an inch above the top of the needle eye.
6.To make this adjustment fist use side C of the Looper Bender and bend the looper UP or DOWN
NOTE: When bending the loopers always bend them slightly farther in the direction desired, then flex it back to the new position. Otherwise , in use, the looper is likely to gradually spring back to it’s original position.
7. Use side A of the Looper Bender and bend the looper so the tip makes a firm contact with the needle without deflecting it.
8. Install the Upper Looper into the Looper Carrier. Push it all the way into the carrier and tighten the set screw securely against the flat spot on the shank.
9. Turn the Hand Wheel until the Upper Looperis at it’s farthest position to the left.
10. Slowly turn the handwheel until the needle is just behind the upper looper.
11. The needle should pass as close to the Upper Looper blade as possible WITHOUT touching it, and, just to the right of the slot in the looper head
12. Use side A of the Looper Bender to bend the looper CLOSER of FARTHER away from the Needle.
13. Use side C of the Looper Bender to bend the looper UP or DOWN
14. When this adjustment is correct , turn the handwheel until the Upper Looperis all the way to the right.
15. Slowly rock the handwheel clockwise and counterclockwise.
16. On the up and down stroke, the top part of the slot in the Upper Loopershould pass jusst clear of the left end of the lower looper.
17. Use side C of the Looper Bender to bend the Upper Looper slightly UP or DOWN
18. Use side A of the Looper Bender to bend the Upper Looper slightly CLOSER or FARTHER AWAY from the bottom looper.
19. Finally turn the handwheel thought one full cycle and check to see that the loopers and needle are properly aligned to each other.
Evolution of a Sewing Machine
The new flatlock assassins (the MB-4DFO ActiveSeam™ machines) on the cart before a stint at the testing station. Cams and cam shafts are already installed, and the feed system, needle carrier, and loopers will be fitted before the machines are run for sixteen hours non-stop. Next stop, customer sample rooms!

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.
