Thank you for the helpful video!
Thank you so much for this vid
I am watching your video from Bangladesh, is it possible to bring this machine to Bangladesh and how much it costs in dollars
Happy Japan has a list of their distributors worldwide. You will need to contact the company that handles sales in Bangladesh for more info www.happyjpn.com/en/product/embroidery/agencies/
Do they shipped in Canada?
Yes it looks like Texmac is the Happy Japan distributor for USA and Canada
Thanks so much…❤
Thank you ❤
Love the video! Can I use rayon for hats/caps? I heard that the UV exposure may deteriorate the colors
I've heard these days Rayon is made to a much better quality. So unless the hat is going to out in the sun 12 hours a day, it should be fine
Awesome video! I'm noticing that the lighter is more effective on fabrics that are more artificial, like poly or poly blended materials. This is because the lighter melts all the little plastic fibers, which curl up and contract. By contrast, the lighter doesn't work well for natural fabrics, like cotton, because those fabrics brun rather than melt-- the little fibers turn to ash, rather than melting and contacting, which doesn't seal up the frayed edge. Thanks for the very through comparison!
What a great result! It looks much better with shadows. I've never worked in Hatch. Can you compare it with Wilcom? At first glance all the functions are the same
Thanks! I've never used Wilcom because it is so much more expensive than Hatch. I've also never found a good explanation as to what the difference between the two programs is. People just say Wilcom has more features that professionals use ...whatever that means. But Hatch has served me fine for the past 3 years so I don't think I'll ever switch to Wilcom.
Thanks for the reply, it seemed to me too that all the basic features are in both programs! I wish you many good customers. You have a great channel
@@re-l-insan both programs are made by wilcom. hatch is a "more basic" version, with less settings and a few options are missing in comparison to e4. as an example you can say in both programs how far the inset of the underlay should be. e4 allows you to input your on inset-value while hatch only says "far", "normal" etc. Also e4 allows you to buy addons so you could use special embroidery machines for chenille or sequin. both programs are awesome, but hatch is the better option if you dont want to spend multiple thousands of dollars/euros.

Hello Madam, what is this software
Hello Sir, it's Hatch Embroidery
Many thanks! What thickness did you use for the felt?
Sorry I don't know what the thickness is. I just bought whatever they had at my local craft store
Thank you. This really feel like I'm going through all the exact same steps. I was really thinking about driving to check out happy japan.
Hope you are able to get a muti-needle soon and glad this video helped you.
How long does it take for you to make the whale patch ?
It takes about 40 min to stitch out on my machine
Ver nice!
Just want to say thank you. I was working on a sunset type of blend. I watched this video when I 1st got into embroidery but now over time it makes so much sense. Thank you again
Glad this video helped! Blending is one of those things that takes a while to get but worth it if you take time to practice
When i try to do this it stacks on the same thread and it doesn't do the offset automatically
Do you mean it doesn't look like the thread colors are blending in your embroidery software? I've noticed that the software sometimes doesn't look like the colors are blending even though I have 2 light fills on top of each other, but when I stitch it out it looks fine. Just a software limitation I guess
What is your Embroidery Software? I just embroider.
I use Hatch embroidery software
@@lashleycreations That's awesome but it's over my budget. I just bought the brother Innov-is yesterday and as a self graphic designer want to make a design. Can you suggest some software that suits the beginners?
@@lashleycreations I really want to try Hatch but it very expensive 🫠
I've only ever used Hatch, so can't really compare any other software. But I have seen other people say they like Design Doodler, Embird, and InkStitch so you may want to look into those
What kind of fabric do you embroider your patches on?
Patch twill. This is the one I buy colmanandcompany.com/Twill_Material.html
Which machine is this?
Brother Innovis 1400e
i just started doing totes great info as always.
Can you tell her how loud that machine is compared to the industry our day as loud as to Gmail because they are Japanese machines
I keep the machine in a spare room in my house. It's a little loud when running, but if I close the door and go to another room it's not too loud
2:58 I thought that you were using a mighty hoop to put the tote bag. I have the hoop for my Ricoma machine and I think that’s 7 inches wide. Are you still able to embroider with your arm or does it get stuck because there’s not a lot of movement and play around, how do you get around this issue? Thank you.
2:07 good morning my name is Juan Carlos and you’re talking about tote bags. I would love to see some samples. I currently did a 17 inch wide tote bag 18 inch design on the back and two smaller 4 inch designs in the front the ones in the front were, I put a 4 inch hoop inside the pockets and I made the embroidery, would love to know more about your machine. Makes it different from the rest. Thank you.
Hi! You can see some of the tote bags I make and sell on my website www.lashleycreations.com. And I don't have any issues with the bags getting stuck around the arm of the machine
@@lashleycreations have you seen other embroidery machines in your comparison? Is that because it is Japanese made is that quieter than a coma or any other machine out there because it is Japanese made what your thoughts as a consumer thank you and how much did it cost you?
I also saw a ZSK machine and it was similar in terms of loudness. With multi needles you really don't see quiet machines compared to home models. My machine is the HCD3E-X and I paid $16,000
@@lashleycreations sounds good thank you so very much. I truly appreciate it. I’ve been looking at all your videos and reading that getting very inspired by myself. I use Arra machines and truly enjoy it. The reason why it is because I’ve been hearing that Japanese technology is quieter quieter than Chinese technology?
Thank you! This was very helpful! Appreciate you making this.
Thanks for sharing. I was really curious about Treasure Fest which is why we were there and got to meet you! I really appreciate you sharing.
Glad you found this helpful! And so nice meeting you, hope to see you next month at Haight!🤩
@@lashleycreations yeah! I’ll come say hi!
Satin borders will sometimes make the edges hollow to the feel. Get you some Faux Merrow borders either software generated, premade from etsy, or manually done with a merrow machine.
Yeah my next big purchase will be a morrow machine🤩
Great patch material comparison.
Amazing work!
That was the perfect video, thank you for your simple explanation and clear video. I have watch several patch making videos and yours is by far the best. I especially appreciated your no waffle approach. Thank you. 🙏🏻
I did not catch the name of the patch twill that you are using and can only find the poly twill with adhesive back online. Could you please repeat the name and perhaps a link? Thank you so much for the video, looks like I just might be able to do what I am wanting to do once I get the materials.
I use this twill from Coleman and Company: colmanandcompany.com/Twill_Material.html This twill that I use does have an adhesive backing on it, which provides stability and makes for a good backing when making patches
I love your simple yet precise process. I feel more confident to make patches. Explaining the materials is a big part of this process. Like that you float the fabric, I too think it's a waste to use more. Q: Why did you choose tear away instead of cut away.?
Cut away really only needs to be used on non-woven materials, like shirts and sweaters. Since the patch is very sturdy, tear away is fine and the stitches will remain in tact once the stabilizer is removed
Is there a reason why folks don't do a rough, quick cut around the patch before doing the iron on adhesive and then the closer more exact cut after? The two videos I have watched from others also have them cutting carefully around the patch before and after adhesive. Just curious as I have not tried this before.
When I'm making a bunch of patches at once I actually prefer to apply the iron on backing to the patches before I cut them, then do the exact cut after. I should have mentioned that in this video but forgot since I was just making one patch. Good call out!
The actual tutorial is helpful but you should actually understand the controversy around ai before you promote it. You completely misrepresented the problems people have with it and the tip you gave to make sure it wasnt copied doesnt take care of the actual problem. AI pulls data from copywrited works from large and small artists to train the algorithm. No part of mid journey is trained without using the artwork of real artists who put hours of time and experience into their artwork. It steals the art from real people and grinds it up in an algorithm to make a collage of theft. Thats the real problem people have with AI image generation. And its certainly not art. The definition of art is the expression or application of HUMAN creative skill and imagination. Its image generation ising art theft. Not real art
Super nice video, thanks for the detailed showcasing. It really helped a lot with decision making!
What machine are you using?
In this video it's a Brother Innovis 1400e, but now I have a Happy Japan HCD3E-X
What is your sewing machine
When I made this video I was using a single needle Brother Innovis 1400 , but now I use a multi needle Happy Japan
I just started embroidering and this was so helpful! I am in need of a general crash course on hatch embroidery. Haha.
THANK YOU! I NEEDED THIS
Stunning flower and a wealth of more information. I did take balboa digitizing classes, but she is so drawn out, and I fall asleep learning from her.
Yes she is very knowledgeable in her lessons, but I agree her videos are so long. I don't have enough time in the day to sit through a whole video😅
Great video, thank you!!!
I have watched this entire video several times. Thank you very much for the walkthrough.
Glad you found it helpful!
IS there anywhere I can buy twill fabric or duck canvas in europe?
Sorry, I am based in the US and not familiar with where to buy fabric in Eurpope
Can´t find It here.
@@VeniVidiVici444 shitty!
I've been impressed with your embroidery art these past few days. Please continue your embroidery activities. from KOREA
Beautiful!
Supplies at Joann’s/michaels are usually much higher in price vs. finding the manufacturer online - really appreciate your embroidery content 🧵
Yes agree! But if it's my first time buying fabric I've never used before I like to buy it at Joann's so I can touch and feel it in person and test it at home on a small project, , then if I like it I will look online for a cheaper option
Ohhh... I was going to say that you definitely took Lee's class. She is amazing. I have every class from her. Amazing amazing
Yes she is amazing! I have only learned a fraction of what she teaches, but I always recommend people to take her classes, she is a treasure trove of knowledge when it comes to embroidery🤗
@@lashleycreations , isn't she. I took 3 days class with her in Palm Springs. What an amazing sweet lady she is.
Your videos and designs are amazing! Thank you for being willing to share and keep up the good work.
Thank you! 😊
Looks really nice. What digitizing software are you using?
Hatch embroidery
How do I transfer the patch to a shirt or some form of clothes
If you doing the embroidery in this method then you iron it on
How I do mine, I use heat bond patches did I create in Canva and I do my patches and sublimation I don’t have machine, but this is how I do mine but good luck to you
I've been using denim from.worn out jeans. Many parts of the jeans still have good fabric. I have to cover the edges completely otherwise fraying shows.
Oh I've never thought of using old jeans, but yeah denim is a nice strudy material to use
I’ve found that denim tends to stretch a little too much for good embroidery when I’ve used it. I’ve tried the older denim without the spandex and the newer denim , neither one came out as well as different fabrics. I have tried to use a spray starch to keep it from stretching but it seems to get sticky on the needle. Any suggestions, as I have lots of denim and it’s good to recycle. Also often free when using old jeans!
Have you tried iron on interfacing? ItI often use one with a bit of fleece to give the patch more body and dimension.
I have embroidered regular denim (not the spandex denim) and it didn’t stretch when I used the Pellon SF101 fusible interfacing. 😊
