If you’re intimidated by starting your embroidery journey, don’t be. In this episode, Henry describes the different levels of experience he sees when a person comes in to purchase a machine. He also provides you with all the advice you need to overcome your fear of starting your very own embroidery business. And lastly, you’ll hear the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions when a potential customer is considering buying an embroidery machine.
Remember, whether you have experience with embroidery or not, a new machine always entails training and practice. Every machine has its nuances and features that you may not be comfortable with, so asking questions is the best way to learn.
Frequently asked questions:
What does it take to climb the learning curve?
Beginners should focus on learning the terminology of embroidery and custom apparel. Next, they should remember that even the most experienced embroiderers still have trouble at times and should not feel discouraged when something goes wrong. Learn more about embroidery by watching our Ultimate Embroidery Guide video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hg6ZlMeWg9Y&t
Is it hard to learn the machine?
The first thing you need to know is that embroidery is not plug and play. According to Henry, learning to use the machine depends on your capacity to learn and how much time you devote to practicing on it. Check out our pre-training videos here: https://info.ricoma.com/ricoma-training-videos
Is training included with your machine?
Most other companies charge you extra for training. However, training is included when you invest in a Ricoma machine. Learn more about our training options here: https://ricoma.com/US/training
What does the training include?
Everything from how to thread your machine and ongoing maintenance to keep your machine running. Our in-person training is a five-hour session that covers embroidery flats and caps. However, it is impossible to learn everything in five hours, which is why it’s important to constantly educate yourself. To help with that, make sure to join our webinars and take advantage of our other resources when you’re at home. If you’re having trouble with thread breaks, download our guide to avoiding thread breaks here: https://info.ricoma.com/the-ultimate-thread-break-trouble-shooting-guide
How is the training conducted?
All single-head machines get free group training in person or online. Multi-head machines come with in-person one-on-one training where our technician goes to you. This option is also available for single-head owners at an additional cost.
What should you ask during training?
At Ricoma, we have a pre-training resource that will get you up to speed on everything you need for the hands-on training session with your machine. Make sure you come prepared to the training with tailored questions as this will help maximize your time with the experts. Questions on maintenance, materials, and troubleshooting are some of the topics you should focus on. If you want to learn more about the proper materials needed for different fabrics in embroidery, check out our FREE Embroidery Cheat Sheet here: https://info.ricoma.com/the-ultimate-embroidery-cheat-sheet
With all these answers and expert tips in mind, we guarantee you’ll feel more confident about purchasing a new embroidery machine and getting into the embroidery industry.

Want advice from thriving businesses on how to run your apparel business in uncertain times? In this powerful episode of Apparel Academy, Ricoma CEO Henry Ma, sits down with embroidery businesses to discuss their current projects and their strategies and advice for other embroiderers during these uncertain times.
Meet our three businesses and Ricoma customers, Signco Designs, PINC GATOR GEAR & 5 Hearts Creations. Each business shares with Henry their current experience during these uncertain times, the challenges they have faced in the last couple months and their advice to fellow embroidery businesses on how to prepare themselves for when businesses re-open once again and how they’ve been able to adapt to the current situation.
Jason and Susanna Pierson, owners of 5 Heart Creations, have created over 650 face masks to donate to a local restaurant, who in turn feeds first responders on the front lines. Because of the exposure that their business received, they were able to secure accounts with other local businesses and leverage their previous relationships with customers to increase revenue.
With everything going on right now, it's important for business owners to take this extra time to continue to learn as much as they can about the business, their machinery and about what customers need right now in order to adapt your business to the times. For ideas about what your business can do right now, make sure to watch the episode above!
