Profit Potential
Leather jacket embroidery has an incredible profit potential. Here’s the rundown: The jacket used for this episode was purchased for $40 and the thread and backing were purchased for $2. Digitizing this design (313,503 stitches with over 15 colors) would cost $70. However, depending on the size of your design, digitizing it would essentially cost anywhere from $40-$80. In conclusion, the cost of this project would be a total of $122 to produce.
As for pricing, leather jackets can be sold on Etsy for about $200. But considering the size and complexity of the design, the price for this product would fall into the $300-$350 range. And, after deducting the $122 cost to make it, it would leave you with a profit of $228 for just one day of work.
The Embroidery Process
For this project, we used our MT 7S 15-needle commercial embroidery machine and the table that comes with it to support the weight of the jacket. This machine is perfect for this project because along with the table, it also includes a sash frame that can fit a design up to 21x40 inches. Also, we used the sash frame because of the jacket’s thickness. (Using a sash frame can help you spread the fabric and clamp it down to get it to hoop tightly and smoothly.) As for the backing, we used one sheet of 1.5 oz cut-away because the fabric is already thick enough to support all stitches. Additionally, we used a 75/11 needle.
Hooping
Center the jacket using the collar as a reference and your hand as the guide to find the middle point of the jacket. Then, use the hooping brackets by first placing one onto the bottom of the jacket, then the other on the top and the remaining brackets on the sides of the jacket to hoop it tightly. After, make sure there are no wrinkles or bubbling of the fabric.
Panel Instructions
Load your design by first pressing the ‘File’ key and then the ‘OK’ button. Following that, set the stitches per minute speed at 850. (This is done to prevent shredding since we use metallic thread for one of the steps.) After that, choose your hoop by pressing the ‘Design Set’ key and select the ‘Other’ hoop option for the sash frame. Press ‘OK’. After it’s done adjusting the hoop, you’ll hear three beeps. Then, rotate the design. You’ll hear an additional three beeps that indicate your design is ready. Now go to your ‘Color Selection’ tool and select your colors. After that, enter the embroidery status to begin tracing the design. Finally, after tracing your design and ensuring it is centered and fits perfectly, you can press the ‘Start’ button and begin to embroider.

This came out amazing!!! I'd love to get that embroidery file and stitch it out!!!
That was Awesome ! but on the description below the mention the who Digitized the design was wondering if it was the correct one.
Hi! Our in house digitizer did this :)
Good job
Thanks for watching!
Very nice jacket ....and instructional video, I just have one question. How does the machine know what and where to put the correct color stitch to lay on the design?
You set your color stops in your digitizing software and then program your color sequence on the machine control panel
Computers
I love this video and that design, but got a bit hung up early on with the needles. Do you happen to have more info on the different types of needles and when to use them?
Yes you do need different needles, 80/12 or 90/14 for leather. 75/11 for most garments. Do your research on different types of fabrics with needles
Hello! We have linked a video below where we go into depth about needles, and what fabrics to use with them.

Willy who!!!
He is still awesome!
How does it look inside with a large piece of cutaway? Wouldn’t tearaway stabiliser be better?
Tearaway is more for things that aren't worn, which is why we went with cutaway instead
I have one of those frames and there is no way I would clamp a leather jacket in it. The sprung clamps are supper tight with thicker material and you could leave permanent markets on the leather. Try a magnetic frame instead.
Thanks for sharing!
What size needles did you use when embroidering the leather?
size 80/12 leather needle is a good choice when embroidering onto leather
How do you not run out of bobbin? Do you change them while it’s running?
Yeah just change the bobbin if it runs out in the middle of the design
Did you use a 75/11 "ballpoint" needle for this project? Thanks
We used a regular 75/11!
@@ricomatv thank you!
Hi, which software do u guys use to make designs ?

Hi! Due to the large design, we ran it around 700.

Hi! You can purchase it through Amazon :)
How do you use the sash hoop in this manner with a multihead machine, when the sash hoop is twice as long?
Hi there! Please submit a request with our team so they can guide you through this > ricoma.com/US/support
What’s the hoop size
We used a sash frame that can fit a design up to 21x40 inches. We used the sash frame because of the jacket’s thickness. (Using a sash frame can help you spread the fabric and clamp it down to get it to hoop tightly and smoothly.)
Can you tell me how much per stich. I charge 1 dollar per 1000 stiches.
We typically say to charge for your time rather than per stitch. Here is a great video that shows you how to do that > th-cam.com/video/PuF5hAdYlNo/w-d-xo.html

What are the dimensions for this job?
Hi Zito! For this job we used our MT 7S 15-needle commercial embroidery. We also used the sash frame because of the jacket’s thickness. (Using a sash frame can help you spread the fabric and clamp it down to get it to hoop tightly and smoothly.) As for the backing, we used one sheet of 1.5 oz cut-away because the fabric is already thick enough to support all stitches. Additionally, we used a 75/11 needle.
@@ricomatv I think she wanted to know the dimension of the design. What is the widest and highest you could use on the sash hoop?
