Wilcom Time and money versus quality Outsourcing is on the rise again – but what about quality?
Now, more than ever, businesses are looking to streamline their costs and outsourcing remains a key strategy. Embroidery companies are either outsourcing some or all of their digitising needs in order to save time, money or both. However, the quality is not always up to their high standards. An embroidery business is judged on quality alone, not the speed of delivery or the costs. If you can master the trifecta then your business is onto a winner. How do you maintain quality?
This is one of the main questions we hear when speaking with our customers on this subject and our response is always the same.
‘Do not completely rely on your outsourcing partners. You have incredible experience and expertise so don’t forget to use it.’
Wilcom EmbroideryStudio and Wilcom Embroidery Connect
You have an experienced machinist who knows your specific embroidery machines best. Use them to sample the digitised designs on the correct fabric and harness their experience. Designs may need a few simple tweaks such as fixing the lettering, adding/ removing underlay, correcting alignment issues or simply reducing the stitch count for more efficient production. Take control of your quality assurance and choose to do these tweaks in-house. Without the need for a full Wilcom digitising solution, you can simply use EmbroideryStudio e4.5 Editing. The software is purpose-designed to allow your in-house team to make these amendments and includes a complete library of 226 professionally digitised embroidery fonts. This will not only save you additional time going back-and-forth with your outsourcer, but enables your team to make a change and immediately test it out on your production embroidery machine.
The team would also recommend adding Wilcom’s EmbroideryConnect WiFi Device to create a cost-effective wireless embroidery machine network solution. The benefit aside from the need to constantly travel with designs between your PC and embroidery machine, is that you can ensure the correct updated embroidery design is loaded to the machine, avoiding re-running an old stitch design during testing or worse, during your final production. Speak to your local Wilcom stockist for special bundle offers.
So do not hesitate. Take back control of your embroidery quality and the future of your business.

The Merlin Pro RS7-1501 single-head has 15 needles and a high definition, true colour 7in LCD touchscreen. The user friendly interface has easy one-step commands enabling simple, intuitive operation. It includes a quick design selection, easy colour input and one-step tracing. It also offers on-board lettering. The machine includes a selection of frames from the small 90mm round frame through to the largest 560x360mm oval frame, plus a 270° wide angle cap frame system.
The larger multi-head Merlin Pro RS10 machines all include a 10in touchscreen. The multi-head range includes the Merlin Pro RS10-1502 twin head, the Merlin Pro RS10-1504 four-head machine and the Merlin Pro RS10 – 1506 six-head machine. The RS10 touchscreens include a production report facility, on-board lettering, pre-set hoop/ frame parameters and one step tracing.
In addition the machines feature a double beam design to reinforce machine stability and reduce vibration. The double belt system allows for higher torque, less noise and easier maintenance. All the multi-heads include numerous frames and a 270° wide angle cap frame system.
As a supplier of embroidery machines and embroidery consumables for over 25 years, the next generation Merlin Pro machines were the obvious choice for GS UK and its experienced team of engineers to add to the company’s product range. The Merlin Pro RS7-1501 and the Merlin Pro RS10-1502 machines can be seen at all of the Promotion & Branding Shows due to be held later in the year during September and October.
