I've found ebay to have some parts avail but I'm looking for a new knife trimmer for my TMEX-C1501

I know the part number is #EC0A02010000 but I'm finding the prices to be all over the map from $15 to $50....

Any recommendations here ?

Thanks.

I was advised the exact same thing that getting a 2 head machine is a waste . I can see how since there can be more crap to go out to make you all the way out of the water to having a backup if one is screwing up. Slower but you still have to load the hoop!

Their website still seems to be active and in Taiwan.

"http://www.fufus.com.tw/"

Not a very large website. Someone is paying for their hosting and domain bill at least.

No error code. The retractable knife does not cut but pushes the thread.

Looks like on other searches the belt can be the culprit, but I agree to check to make sure there aren't any bits of metal from a broken needle still lodged somewhere. I've also been told that the machines are designed to have some common parts like the hook snap before you do mega damage on the ins...

Broke a needle going Richardson caps( TEHX C1501) Got the 311 error. Removed the needle plate and the rotary hook base cover and loosened the rotary hook support bar thingy. It will do a trim when its apart without a needle on it but when i put a needle on it jams. Is my timing off? Could be, or a s...

Don't know the nylon you will be embroidering on or the design but generally speaking the biggest challenge in stitching nylon [in particular light nylon] will be to reduce/eliminate puckering. So with that in mind ..... - use a cut-away stabilizer - reduce the number of stitches as much as possible...

Hi all. Working on embroidering some bags that are a heavy duty nylon. Realized that I used an old design (embroidery and applique) and needed to do it smaller (of course ugh). I consider myself practically a master with the Peggy's Stitch Eraser but it being nylon punctures the holes. Has anyone ha...

Are people here sold and stuck on one particular brand of thread or do you feel that some brands are better for different applications?

Is it worth teaching yourself how to digitize when there are so many low cost companies out there that will do it for you in the format you need? What are your thoughts on this? Is it still good practice to learn how to do it yourself , in the event you need to fix something on the fly when under a ...

Best needle for structured caps is the size 80/12 sharp. Many times needle breaks at the beginning of a design can be eliminated with proper digitizing. A special starting sequence of well-placed running stitches to pull the cap down. You can also try using a cap press to help “relax” the front of t...

I've had some techs tell me that the 2 head machines are a waste of money.

I've been told that its better two have 2 single head machines or go ahead and move into a 4 or 6 head.

What are everyone's thoughts on this?

Consider searching ebay for sound booth foam or sound dampening auto mobile material like dynomat.

You could mount this on the walls that are closest to the machine. You may have to go as far as building a cubical style box around your equipment to get it to knock the noise level down.

I have a new to me TFMXII-C1504. It's pretty loud and the business next door is complaining to the landlord about the noise. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to dampen the noise? Is the some noise dampening material that can be applied to the machine in some way? Thanks, Alisa Davis Dancing B...

I have been battling thread breaks at every color change. Tried setting the cut to short, medium, and long.

La FemmeFan All, I had Hirsch send me a copy of the ex.sys file I need to reload onto the Tajima TMCE, but I do not seem to be able to get the file to load from the USB stick.

My knife will not go back into normal position. I tried pulling from the back but it will only go so far and it stops. It is about 1/4 of an inch out of alignment from the other knives. It doesn't go under the stationary part. Help!!!! "We had a birds nest when we got the error message. We were abl...

What would cause a machine to not pick up the bobbin thread, just in a certain spot on a 3D design?
