So, which embroidery product is right for you? We’ve put together this comparison to help guide you to the right solution.
The following are notes we have made about Melco machines.
The Melco embroidery machines come standard with the Melco 400 and Melco 475 tubular arms spacings. We recommend ordering all Mighty Hoop sizes at the smallest arm position offered.
Melco machines in the past had an option to purchase wider tubular arms. These arms would allow the Melco to use a tubular arm spacing 589mm. See Picture Below. These were discontinued by Melco in 2022 and are not available for purchase.

- Amaya, Bravo, EMT10, XTS
- Can go up to an 15×12 (Narrow Wing) or 13×15
- Can do the 4.25×16 with a 4.25×13 1.5” offset bracket.
- We tried to make a MT400-17×11, but it would need to be offset so far it was not practical so did not make it, the MH-MT475 15×12 would be a better option.
- Can use the Melco Wider Arms
- 14×16 not recommend as it just barely hits the wider arms in the back.
- EMT-10T
- Can only go up to an 11×13” Mighty Hoop.
- Cannot use the Melco Wider Arms
- EMT-4T (4 head tubular machine)
- Can go out to 475 spacing
- Cannot use the special 589 wider arms
