Project Types and Embroidery Capability
We’ve talked about the business side, but what about day-to-day operations, project types, and the general capabilities of the Melco Amaya Bravo?
Well, let’s start off with its embroidery area and standard hoop sizes — something that really makes this machine shine.
When I first saw the massive embroidery area in this Melco, it honestly caught me by surprise! You’re looking at an enormous 14.17” x 11.8” embroidery area. Did anyone say, “Full Garment Embroidery Capable?…”
It comes with the following standard hoops on purchase: 9 cm, 12 cm, 15 cm, and a 30 cm x 36 cm Jacket Back Hoop. Not only that, but this is one speedy piece of machinery with a maximum stitch-per-minute count of 1,100 SPM! The low range is 300 SPM.
All in all, this is an excellent embroidery machine that can make nearly anything: Pants, Jackets, Jeans, Blankets, Bags, Leather, Tubular Shirts, Flat Shirts, Hats, Pockets, and more!
