Hi there
I have the EMT16 and will give you some suggestions on how we get our hats to
run.
1) Make sure your design sews from bottom up, this is really important if you
have lettering at the bottom with your logo.
2) Run your machine at 1000 spm, the V11 software doesn't like it when you go
too slow.
3) Make sure your needle is centered in the silver thread plate.
4) When you trace your hat make sure the bill does not touch the back of the
machine and push on it. We trace till it just touches (depending on our
design. )
5) Make sure your pressure foot isn't pushing up close on the needle when it
sews. You might have to push on the pressure foot back a bit.
6) Your backing should be smooth inside the hat when you hoop it and use enough
that the hat doesn't move on the hoop.
7) Acti-feed set to auto -- Start at 7 and go up from there if it seems too
tight.
Melco also has out now the Bobbin Tension Gauge Item #34746 that gets the
tension just right to run the EMT16's. We just got ours and was amazed at how
tight our tension was
machine runs great.
Hope this helps
