I have an old Tajima - only a 9 thread. Wanting to switch to USB as well. Where did you order the USB kit from? I notice you have a magnetic frame - does it work well? Never pops off even with heavier fabric - like a heavy hoodie? I always enjoy all your videos - you are very informative and always easy to understand. Thank you!
What was the original floppy in that machine? 1.44 or a 720? Just curious, i found a brand new one , old stock never used ,but it had no drive in it to install firmware . Cheers.
Hello! Thank you for this vid! :) May i ask if you have experienced the tracing not working? I have a 4 head tmfxII, and it uses usb linker, when i’m doing design tracing, it’s not happening. Any suggestions? I’m importing files using A - 4 using serial linker..
Looks great!! I have been looking at another embroidery machine. We have a 2 head 15 needle, but need another machine. I'm seriously looking at the Tajima
Hey great video man. Saludes desde Canada!. Question for you, do you know if the firmware can be downloaded from somewhere? and can it be put on a USB if that adapter is put on the Machine?
Hey how’s it going? I bought a fieya 12 needle 4 head but doesn’t have a power cable. What kind of cable can I use to get it to turn on? I would also need someone to help me get that machine running and it’s looks like your the guy I’m looking for to help me get this machine running I’m new to this and want to get into the embroidery industry, let’s talk we can make something work willing to pay for the help.
hey now congrats to you Juan good demonstration as always and yes the embroidery looks neat so go ahead Mr Fixer-upper get it together then send it to me lol thanks for sharing enjoy your day Turtle :) you look so so happy lol
Did you get the extra parts to make it look new ? The funniest thing is I found the exact same machine, here in Canada, it also has been sitting in a warehouse for two years and I am most likely going to buy it. I will do the usb/floppy upgrade. The reason the plastics turn yellow is because back in the days they used a fire retardant called bromine in the plastic mix. UV rays tend to make the bromine molecules leech through the surface. Please keep us updated on the state of this machine ! I might get back to you with a few questions though ! Keep it up and thanks for the video !
Just got mine ! Is there a way you could send me the firmware ? I need to reinstall … or tell me where I can get the firmaware … I will also order the usb upgrade from your link thanks !
Hey!!! I still use the same old control panel is there any chance we could update it to a touch screen display!!pls do a videos on that! That would be of a great help!
yes you can upgrade it to a newer panel however the cost of the panel is kind of high, I seem them go for as low as $4500 to $8000 just for the panel itself
Thanks Juan! I have wanted to do this for a long time ! I think I was quoted over a grand for the change. I have kept a floppy drive but they can fail easily. How did you determine which emulator you actually needed?
@@LibertyGraphicDesigns I decided to risk it and just bought the same as you Mine is a 2002? 1501 Tajima, same as yours, I can see small differences, but very small. Mine is like new. due in tomorrow!
@@mariallamoca8869 Hi Maria, I installed it with little issues but still unable to make it work. The machine just does not see the drive, It sees the few designs stored in memory, but when I insert a USB with designs on it it does not see it. I'll pull the case off again and try to reinsert the pins, if it still does not see it I will have to put the floppy back in. Disappointing. Luckily I have no embroidery to do at this time.
Hey, tried doing the same upgrade and ordered the same 34 pins emulator, but the connector of my machine has one space completely covered from the inside, do I have to take out the pin from the emulator?? Or what can I do?
OK Got the issue figured out with the drive, was not the drive that was the problem, rather the thumb drive. I had way to big of one in it. Lowered to an 8 and it works fine now. So I consider myself to be fairly computer wise, how ever, I did not know that the inside of your thumb drive should match your usb drive color, like black to black or blue to blue or red to red. Did I notice the different colors, well yep I did, just did not know there was a specific reason for them lol.
@@LibertyGraphicDesigns Love youtube, after combing for an answer I stumbled on the info. Thought I was gonna have to pull the emulator and put the floppy back in. I did a happy dance when it read the stick lol
hola amigo sera normal que mi lector de usb de mi bordadora tarde mas de una bhora en reconocer el usb y otra ora para poder que me acepte el diseño ala memoria de la maquina
I dont have a embroidery machine and most likely never will, but still i watched and found it interesting!....Thanx Juan

That machine is so nice and sturdy!! I need one like that too.
better ask Santa lol
Liberty Graphics is Santa what you talking about? 😂😂😂😂
I checked the link for the USB emulator and it mentions a windows Xp platform - does it work with any windows system? I use windows 10
Thanks Juan! I have wanted to do this for a long time ! I think I was quoted over a grand for the change. I have kept a floppy drive but they can fail easily. How did you determine which emulator you actually needed?
what machine do you have? also I have a link on the description for the USB emulator

Very good video,but please can you do video for machine that doesn't stop when ever the thread cut both upper thread and down thread
Good job. I have a a old machine that still uses floppy. Can I ask you where you got usb emulator. Thanks in advance.
amazon, link in the description below
less than $50 bucks not $200 like most of them
What is the model emulator is that? And is that for the c1201?

eso pasa uando el diseno tiene una cantidad the puntadas muy alta o la memoria de tu maquina esta casi llena o el USB no es compatible con la maquina
Will this emulator work on a 1998 TMEX-C1501? Is there any dip switches to be changed?
I have a 98 six head machine using the same emulator
Good video Juan thanks
A friend of mine gave me the SWF machine. They are very similar. Don't forget to trace
Where did you get this gem!? I can’t find any near me! Take my moneyyyyy
lol I drove all the way to Oklahoma for it
Tajima has a website for used machines, I see if I can fie it
no disrespect. but that sounded really loud, metals are grinding because of insufficient lubrication.
