Pantograms adds new Meistergram Embroidery Training Classes



Pantograms Manufacturing Company, Inc. announces the expansion of its Embroidery Academy to include training on Meistergram embroidery machines. The Embroidery Academy training is included with the purchase of a new Meistergram embroidery machine from Pantograms. They offer 3-day training at their corporate office in Tampa, Florida; or 2 to 3 days on-site training for Meistergram multi-head embroidery machines.

Pantograms also provides training on late model Meistergram machines that have been purchased from other dealers before Pantograms Mfg. Company became the exclusive distributor for USA and Canada. Pantograms Embroidery Academy training and support packages are available to them for a fee. Instructors at Pantograms Embroidery Academy have experience in the decorated apparel industry for many years and know the skills that are required to operate a profitable business. The first day of class will teach embroidery basics.

Participants learn about the different types of items that can be embroidered, supplies and accessories, hooping techniques for different materials, pricing and marketing. The second day is machine operation and maintenance. Everything from the control panel functions, proper thread-path and machine tension, transitioning from tubular garments to caps, oiling and greasing the machine and troubleshooting the machine.

The third day is an optional class on Forté embroidery software. They will learn how to use the digitizing software so they can digitize their own designs or modify embroidery stock designs. Class course includes lettering and editing, basic digitizing tools, advanced digitizing tools (depending on the level software purchased), auto-digitizing and sending designs to machine.

“We place high priority on training and support for our customers and welcome every owner of a Meistergram embroidery machine the same opportunity to learn from our 42 years of experience. Proper training prepares an embroidery business to handle the day-to-day operations with professional ease”, says Larry Sheppard, General Manager of Pantograms.
