Its around 1.25" tall x 5.5" wide

Digitizing can range. For small logos, it can be around $10-30. Larger ones like full fronts or backs can be $40+. In my opinion, its worth paying more for a reputable digitizer that does quality work so you don't have file issues

Try double pressing with a top sheet. I prefer a wax paper but I've seen some people press with a shirt on top to give the print texture and help remove any shine.

Its supposed to be like that, part of the design

So good to hear! Welcome to the embroidery world!

Twill is the classic for sure. I saw this product at a show and never heard about it so I wanted to test it out. It is problematic though if the design has lots of stitches since it could begin to tear on the inside

Never got the IG from the client 😭

I've heard some people have success with pre-pressing the hat so the surface touching the adhesive is warmed up which would help when pressing the top as well. Alternatively, you could try to press the top down so the bottom rubber piece heats up to a decent temperature then trying to press it!

Yeah guess I didn't think about those penny machines. Little problematic for my next video on how to alter a $1 into a $100 bill 😣🤣

The foam is sold by Stahls! www.stahls.com/foam-cover-pads

Yes! Definitely do some tests before to really dial in your settings first

They are from Stahls!! These are their FlexStyle patch but they also have PVC and embroidery

I have actually since sold the machine but I was at around 8k prints with pretty much zero issue. Nothing needing changed other than the regular maintenance such as the head cap station and wipe.

@@LovesBranding what did you replace it with?

Great Idea!

You're most welcome, thanks for watching!

I'm sure its a quality machine. I have not used it but I believe the F2100 is a powerhouse of a machine and the price point since its an 'old' machine, is fantastic. Unfortunately I bought it when it was new and lost a lot of money :o

I would recommend a Brother PE800! It is limiting on the size but definitely a good machine to get you started :)

I don't :/ only made two videos on this I believe

It should work for most heat press items that have some thickness. I couldn't get transfers to work this way because it requires more pressure and the extra pressure would warp the beanie-

Melco embroidery machines! I bought mine second hand but they do sell them directly melco.com!

It does!

Glad I could help! I'm always happy to see new subscribers!

I wrote too quick. YOu answered my question

Glad to help :)

Sometimes I like to let the heat press hover over a print before pressing. Or you can let it sit on the side a bit before pressing. A Teflon sheet or wax sheet helps prevent the ink from sticking off when pressing too

Usually 75/11 for almost everything

Stahls'!!!

The optimal option is a laser cutter but either way, good ventilation is key

Haven't seen anybody have success with this on a Mac :/

Hats are a pain for sure. If you're still having issues with these tricks, it could be something more complex like the timing could be slightly off or the hoop is too high off of the needle plate. Both of these can cause the needle to break. If the timing is off, it may not be as noticeable on flats but can be worse on caps. Also, if the cap frame is too high from the needle plate, there can be excess deflection causing the needle to crash and break. Can be different for all machines but possibly worth looking into! Best of luck-

For this one I used Dream Digitizing!

Just default density. I don't remember this one exactly, but I kept it the same as for shirts. It could have been a little more dense to help fill but they still came out great!

On the Melco, I have it automatically upload to a shared folder that the computer connected to the Melco has access to. For other machines, you will need to use a USB drive to transfer the file from the computer to the embroidery machine.

Stand 40 weight thread!

@@LovesBranding 0.40?

@@LovesBranding and how i can get it the sanme material

The actual version is a Merrow stitch which is done on Merrow branded machines. They can be very expensive and only do one thing but they do it very well. To replicate it on the embroidery machine, I call it a faux or fake merrow edge since it's not really the same thing but looks very similar.

Thank you! Cheers!

You're most welcome. Thanks for watching :)

I think its PVC!

I forget on this one, but I do show the Actifeed settings in some of my other videos!

The EMT16X is a goat! But so is the Bravo. The main difference is the limitations. I'm not entirely sure of the Bravo X since it is different than the Bravo I have. If you want to make sure you can do pretty much everything and anything, EMT16X is the way to go. The sew field and hoop sizes are typically smaller on the Bravo. In my opinion, if you are looking to spend that much, go ahead and get the EXT16X so you don't have to worry about these things.

Settings matter but vary between different machines. These tricks work for most machines!

@@LovesBranding I understand that. I have the same machine you do. That is why I asked.

​@@jacquelinerojas1722 I've since sold the Melco and got a Barudan!

Great to hear, glad it helped!

Great to hear!
