Best for 3d puff

naldopr · December 13th, 2016, 08:40 PM

We have been looking at this 2 machine from tajima and barudan
4head Tajima Tmar type 2 and the new model coming from barudan BEKY 4 head. I have seen a 2013 barudan in person and was very impressed with stitch quality.
but I haven't seen tajima yet any new tajima Tmar t2 owners here that can share your experience so far? I know both are great machine but looking to see witch one will be the best for 3d puff

thank you

John

barudan is probably the best machine, but tajima is great too. the secret to great 3d puff is in the digitizing. it has to be digitized correctly for any machine to turn out great 3d puff.

You realize that those companies are embroidering the panels flat and then assembling them into a hat? With that being said I saw a new barudan at the ISS show running puff hats 2 color and 2 separate layers which looked fantastic. I run puff myself on my barudan machine mostly without problems. Every now and then it eats one.

2005 and 2006. I spent quite a bit of time teaching myself how to digitize for it. Whenever I ran flats they were great. Throwing it on a radius curve, not so much. The foam and needle used are really key here. I have yet to find that elusive super hard foam that is used in the puff hats at the sporting goods store.
