  • It’s another episode of Apparel Academy, and this week, Henry is answering a question he gets asked on a daily basis: Can a two-head machine embroider two different items at the same time? While this may seem like an amateur question, the answer might just surprise you. Henry will also discuss what you need to consider when you’re upgrading to a multi-head embroidery machine.

    Now, remember, not all multi-heads are created equal. The majority of multi-heads function to allow embroiderers to create multiples of the same items for bulk orders and increase output on a single run. For that reason, the heads on this kind of multi-head machine are all controlled by the same control system to ensure that they all run at the same time.
    But as for the question of whether a two-head machine can embroider two different items, technically, if you have a dual-function machine, the answer is yes. This style of embroidery machine also allows for embroidery on two separate projects at the same time. While this might seem like a great alternative, consider the following:
    You can achieve the same flexibility with two single head machines. With two single-heads you can create two separate projects, so if you’re looking to create different items as opposed to bulk orders, why invest in a multi-head with dual function capacity?
    Two single head machines are more portable than a multi-head dual-function machine. Since these single-heads are not connected, you can move them around at your convenience. The dual-function is much larger and much less portable.
    One dual-function multi-head costs the same, if not more, than two Ricoma single heads.
    At the end of the day, if you can achieve the same output and flexibility, not to mention enjoy easier portability with two single-heads, why would you invest in a more expensive machine to have the same results?

    Man I wanted to finance/purchase a machine from Ricoma, i was using one of there customers link to do so, and Henry Ma himself sent me an email, and also someone even called me, but when i called them back and left a message no one NEVER called me back, so i ended up going thru another company getting financed for a SWF MAS-12. I really wanted to purchase one of there Machine, but i guess they are to busy to work with me because i'm in Anchorage Alaska.

    Yes Henry, but, and this is a very big but. You need to consider things like broken threads, running out of bobbin etc. You have a problem with one machine on a 6 head machine, all the machines stop while you fix the problem. Same is true for the two head. The multi function two head will allow you to keep the needle going up and down while you fix the issue.

    Hey guys! old video I know, but I have a question about my MT-2002 8S. I would like to have the ability to test designs on 1 embroidery head before scaling to both (this would reduce the cost of my testing). Is there a way to disable one of the heads OR do something tricky with the thread to make one of them think they are embroidering something? I have seen a Ricoma TV video where the guy was only using 1 head of a 12 head machine, and he did something tricky with the thread, he just didn't explain what. Sorry for the long question, but I cannot find a resource here.

      Hi Peter! This is a switch that is located in front of your machine. It's located by where the light blinks "green".
