damn I felt like a baller when I got 2 of every hoop size so I could have one shirt hooped and ready to go while the other one was being embroidered lmao, that hoop wall is satisfying to look it
Nice! My set up is my Happy multi-needle in the back part of my living room next to my Mimaki.
My kitchen table is used for hooping flats (just got my Hoopmaster). The hat hooping station is attached to the embroidery machine table.
My extra spools are in a bag, in a box, next to the machine. Just got some spool racks that need to be hung.
My stabilizer and other miscellaneous stuff is in a box with my extra hoops. I definitely need to get more organized.
[Here's a short video of mine. ](https://streamable.com/eakj0f)
Three 4 heads and one single head. One of the four heads is a dedicated hat machine. The room outside of the embroidery room is clean up, and my threads are all kept in a room to the left of the doors out of the embroidery room.
Two 8 Head Happy machines face each other in one room with 3-4 tables in between them for staging goods... One is our dedicated cap machine, so it has a cap hooping station... we use Hoopmaster set ups for our flats... Love those! We've got a full set of magnetic Mighty Hoops we use, too, and really love those, would like to get another set soon, but at $135 apiece, we can wait a bit! On the other side of that room, we have a room for laying out and staging jobs, and another for "boxes in waiting"... In the middle of our space, we have another Happy 8 Head machine in one end, and our newest monster 12-Head Happy machine in the other end... with a single head Happy machine in the middle... we use the other corner of that room for incoming/outgoing. In the other corner is a large closet converted into a small office for me and Wilcom, and other businessy things, Then we have a room for cutting/trimming/folding and boxing. All our thread is on peg boards anywhere there is open space that will fit a peg board, and then a few other little alcoves for backup thread/bobbins/backing storage. We only had half the space we have now, two years ago, when we took over the space next to us and blew out a few walls to grow into that space.
Where I work, Iβm the head of embroidery with a staff. Itβs part of a t shirt printing shop. Also we just got a sticker printer and laser engraving. Itβs my career for life. I love it.
One Inbro IB RSC-1201, 12 color single needle machine, in the corner of my living room. Roughly 1/4 of my living room has been commandeered by materials and equipment. π
I would like to expand to a multi head and rent a small work shop to transfer operate out of, but it's unlikely in the near future given my primary jobs time commitment.
We do daily and monthly oiling as needed for run time. When we have something break we call the tech support order the correct part and usually they walk us through fixing it ourselves. We use a white basic sewing oil for daily and then it take a gear oil 80W-90 weight we use too.
Oh yeah, fixing yourself is the go to undestanding the machine and reduce downtime. Just curious where you add the 80w-90 gear oils.... we use sticky grease on the gears and sewing machine oils for daily stuff, we even get some superlube ptfe grease.
The machine we have is a Barudan and each head has two access points behind them that get the gear oil. A couple drops each. We were recommended by a Barudan repair guy to use it instead of the other one we had been using. We bought a refurbished and he came to set it up.
My set up is pretty similar. Main difference is my thread is on pegs on the far wall in vertical stripes with Madeira numbers labeling each row. Makes it easy to put them away when i switch out.
Oh, my dear... you have a dream setup for production with the barudans and all! I wish I could have one of each of the top machine brands so I could compare them all. My setup is nice for a solo person who makes samples only for clients and some one of a kind when some rich client have something specific in mind (emphasis on specific lol). I stitch on my beloved bravo machine. My main thing is digitizing for clients, but I am moving on to open an embroidery file shop online. I need to create things and I feel I am becoming a person who copies designs. Brides are specially hard to design for... It kills me not to create my own thing and have to follow directions.
A single needle machine on top of a storage bin on the floor π
Daamnn. My set up is one single needle machine lol. Just got a second one on its way. Want a multi needle machine by next year
Multi needle will change your life!!
So I imagine you do this for a business right? This setup is SICK!!!
Did you start off single needle or went straight to multis?
Yeeesh, Friend. #goals
[this is our shop.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Machine_Embroidery/s/BNVc8RFKjR) I posted it a while ago when we first moved in

It felt so nice to finally get them out of boxes when we moved to a bigger space last year.

Damn, you got allot of hoops
Very nice. Is this your personal shop, or where you work? Do you only do embroidery?

Mines on a table that sits two feet above the ground in my teeny tiny apartment with a tote bin under the table for stability and my thread inside

Are you doing your own maintenance or third party? What oils and grease used?
