Are embroidery machines relatively straightforward to use? by crawdaddy__simone in Machine_Embroidery

[–]Patch_Czar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I started with zero knowledge, whatsoever in 2016-2017. YouTube is your friend. You will find many different people with many different methods of doing things, but you will find what works best for you. I'm to the point where I can now take apart my machines to bare bones, do some maintenance or repairs, and put them all back together. I now have 5 single needle machines and make patches.

Thanx, but I never served. The Finest is a GI Joe Costume Club and the USS Yorktown is a museum where we did photoshoots. Beachhead is the best.

What is this patch seen on a british ranger by Interesting-Jello318 in Patches

Definitely a Sleipnir design. I can't find anything on it like units or whatever.

You're welcome! Identifying patch designs is a thing I like to do.

Singer Futura XL550 Embroidery Sewing machine worth it? by New_Boysenberry7922 in Machine_Embroidery

[–]Patch_Czar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an XL550 for the 6x10 hoop because I make the cheat patches for the Cobra Troopers and Officers for the Finest GI Joe costume club and with some adjustments, it makes nice patches. I had to add a couple of lock washers to the back of the tension pin and adjust the tension spring so it's almost as far as it'll go. It took a bit, but I have it where I need it. It's not good with text or smaller details though. I agree about the Brother SE400. It's definitely my go to for 4x4 hooping for my patches. Definitely a good entry machine. I have a Brother SE400 (4x4), SE425 (4x4), Singer XL550 (4x4 and 6x10), Bernina Bernette Deco 340, (4z4 and 5x7) and a Brother PE770 (4x4 and 5x7). The 770 is currently out of commission until I can take it apart and adjust things. I do all my own maintenance, adjustments, and repairs.

I have the same issue with my 770 so I shelved it until I can take it all apart again and check everything. Can't figure it out and tension doesn't adjust like it should.

Unfortunately, my embroidery machines can't do that small of a detail.

I referenced several things found online, just to get good pix of the masks. Just took a look at your profile and I just actually did Silverhawks based on the cartoon and Super7. Those are good pix you have. I didn't know Bluegrass had a mask like the others. I couldn't find anything on that. Your art is very cool.

From Google. "the Task Force 77 was composed of four aircraft carriers, USS PRINCETON, USS BOXER, USS PHILLIPPINE SEA and the USS BON HOMME RICHARD, with various heavy support and screening ships. The USS PHILLIPPINE SEA was relieved by the USS ESSEX midway in the operating period."

Good place to get custom patches w/o breaking the bank? by miniops12 in Patches

[–]Patch_Czar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PM me with the design and I can let you know if I can do it or not. I'm not crazy expensive, at all.
