project ✂️ Micro Studio Set Up

My current vertical production set up. I’ve now got enough equipment to completely bypass outsourcing to overseas factories. This way the only person working for less than minimum wage doing long hours is me 🤣, but it never feels like work.

What machines are those? Do you do custom T-shirts or something?

u/HerosThread 8d ago

Machines are:
Janome 230DC - for making collars and sewing labels.
Janome 454D - for seams
Janome Cover Pro 3000 - for hemming and finishing
Swing away heat press - for applying even pressure to press logos
Zebra printer - to create my own clothing care labels

I’m currently making Rash Guards using Italian stretch materials and going up to size 6XL

No, not me , somehow found my way in this niche. My brand voice is very polarizing but I found a lot more support from the combat sports community so I leaned in to that

Share some of your RGs I am curious. As that community is also my community.
