Merrow Machine.

[Earl Smith]

Im getting more and more orders for patches. An order for 600 and another for 500 has just come in.
Embroidery machines do an OK job of the edges but a merrow machine would give them a real professional finish.
Has anybody got one or used one and could they be worth the investment?

A few on ebay going for around a grand.

Finally got an offer price for the Merrow.
60% higher than the price in the states. Taking the p***.
I have found a similar machine, made in Taiwan, for around a third of US Merrow price.
Looks like that will be the one.

Been wondering about one too as I have loads of orders for this type of patch.......any website for the Taiwaneese machine Earl?

Cheers

I will point out.
I have never seen the machine or the quality it produces. How reliable etc etc.
But the link was passed to me from my Barudan supplier via his people in the East, and
that, to me , counts as something. Barudan also supply Chinese machines and he never has problems.
But he did say that if it was working 24/7 then to get the Merrow.

Thanks Earl....looks pretty impressive..it wouldn't be working 24/7..far from it..may enquire on the price..thanks again

[Earl Smith]

Price is around $2,400. (USD) plus carrage. Add on import tax and VAT which you must pay to your import agent or customs and excise but you get back if you are VAT regestered.
Get it shipped as embroidery equipment and import tax is around 2%.

Thats all I know.

Cheers Earl!

is this applique?

[Earl Smith]

Nope, its edging patches. Look at the link and you will see it working.

DS Designs...A point someone made on t-shirt forum about this Taiwan machine. You dont see it finishing the stitch at the end. Is it knotted or is it loose? Apparently the Merrow knots the stitches.
Im a little confused.
