The Pro 3 has an open, bridge-style chassis with a 360x500mm sewing area to provide more space for larger items, such as duffle bags and large jacket back embroidery, explains Barudan. Other new features of the machine include a KT Automat 8.4” LCD touchscreen with user-friendly icons, a new high-speed colour change system and a new MK8 trimmer system that’s said to require little or no adjustment. A new tensioner system is also said to provide better and easier thread tensioning, with accurate thread-break detection. The Pro 3’s new slimline cylinder arm allows sewing deeper into confined areas, and higher on caps, adds the company, noting that “our exclusive positive needle drive system also ensures quality embroidery on all types of garments, including thick karate belts and 3D foam on caps”. Also available from Barudan are the K-series compact four-, six- and eight-head embroidery machines, as well as the company’s LEM networking software. www.barudan.co.uk Barudan’s Pro 3 single-head embroidery machine has a 360x500mm sewing area to provide more space for larger items Madeira: Embroidery Essentials Madeira says it offers a comprehensive range of high quality embroidery threads suitable for garment embellishment across all market sectors.
