What type of equipment do I need?

With conventional embroidery machines you have to decide how many sewing heads (machines) you require to produce enough embroidery for your business. You might need a single head, two head, four head and so on. It is really difficult to know what you want in a new business until you get started. Other decisions you have to make are%u2026how many colours will I need per head?, what is the largest area I might have to embroider?, how easy is it to align the design?, how easy is it to adjust the thread tension (very important for producing a perfectly embroidered design)?, once you have been trained on the operations, how easy is it for you to re-train another operator? and so on. With the Tajima modular system, that decision is made easy for you, you only purchase the minimum amount of machines you require and simply add on extra ones when you need more production. The Tajima comes standard with 15 needles (colours), it has a large sewing area, it has an inbuilt laser light that makes aligning the design simple, it has a patented automatic thread tensioning unit called acti-feed which takes all the guess work out of adjusting the thread tension (one setting on the control software sets up all the needles on every head), it has an easily adjustable presser foot (allows perfect embroidery on most thickness of material), its operating software is very easy and makes training new operators a piece of cake. It has its own training system built in. The Tajima runs at incredibly high speeds of up to 1,500 stitches a minute and will easily out produce any other machine in its class by at least 30% whilst still producing superb quality embroidery. So please allow us to demonstrate the versatility of the Tajima, and show you how it could save you money on your initial investment and make you much more profit in your business.

How much can I earn?

Conservatively it takes 15 minutes to create an embroidered a T-Shirt with 3000 - 5000 Stitches so if you were to start work at 9am and finish at 5pm you would be able to create 32 T-Shirts in a day but lets minus 2 T-Shirts for the time of changing hoops and re-threading. So if you work out 30 T-Shirts with a profit of £8.50 per T-Shirt that is a whooping £255.00 per day!! So if working a 5 day week you could potentially earn a minimum of £1275.00 per week!!
