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.

Leanne O'Driscoll replied to David Davies's discussion MG-3U Tensions"Re-threading is still a relatively slow process, but my language is not as "special" as it used to be. So I think that constitutes an improvement! Have checked out your video quite a few times - I take it the servo motor is…"

How are you at rethreading after a thread break?"
Leanne O'Driscoll replied to David Davies's discussion MG-3U Tensions"Many thanks - am determined to get this beast under control. I keep telling myself that it is just a machine, therefore subject to superior mechanical intelligence and knowhow ...... theoretically. :)"
David Davies replied to David Davies's discussion MG-3U Tensions"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.

I have already contacted our local Merrow distributor here in Australia to chase this…"
Julee Johnson posted a discussionThread 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
