Man I appreciate you putting the whole thing up here and seeing the whole process. Really reminds me of myself when I'm struggling learning my own machines as well. I had a M&R Diamondback S and a happy voyager 1201 and just ordered a Ricoma 1502. This was really good insight and you're inspiring me to make more videos! I'm probably the same age too brother
I feel for you. I don't have a fancy machine like yours but it's always the bobbin or the tension that causes the problems. The machines are very sensitive. Glad everything turned out in the end.
You did GREAT !!! Congrats and also thanks for showing everything, not just the parts that went well. It's all a process and between screenprinting and embroidery, there's a ton to learn ! Way to go and your folks have to be really proud of you! You're rockin' it ! BTW, I watched last week when you and your buddies moved that beast ! WHOA ! (I was nervous for ya)
I appreciate YOU!! Showing all the behind the scenes to normalize the learning curve. Thank you for the support and love! And yeah that was definitely a nervous job haha but all went well!🤞🏽
@@baavproductions I have to add too, that your parents are so supportive and encouraging, especially in letting you have the downstairs ! Impressive ! Truly
I am new to embroidery when you said you didn't know I had to laugh because I been there so many times it's nice to know that you're not the only one who is struggling to do something in a new area!
@@baavproductions o okay I am just a little under 6 months or so. Do you embroider bucket hats aka fishing hats? I actually ordered some im not 100% happy with them because of the cap hooping system I have. I am watching your video on the new cap frame hoops you got those things are nice!
Lol I feel ya pain bro. I got my 1501 about 4 months ago and felt every bit of the frustration in this video. Not sure if anyone mentioned but when I do structured hats I always give the middle area a few sprays of water to soften that area up a bit. Also use 90/11 needles. Keep pushing! tha anxiety of runnin’ the machine is a mf. ✌🏾
You came through! Appreciate the vid bro! I mean your quality looks the same if not a little better then who we outsource to and they have Tajima machines. So that tells me it’s all about the digitizing and not so the machines. You’re are just starting off so I can only assume your stitch quality will get better, especially when you learn how to digitize yourself. Keep the vids coming bro!
Appreciate the love bro! but wow thats good to hear from your point of view. Digitizing is definitely a huge part of the embroidery process. Only up from here! Appreciate you sharing and engaging!
Great video, make sure you remove the backing on the hat. The hat is already hard for the needle to go through with that cardboard backing its even harder for the 75/11 needle to penetrate. I would suggest adding tearaway to the back and after the stitching has been completed, hit it with a heat gun. It will look amazing. The heat gun will tighten the stitching making it look tight. Pass the heat gun lightly. Good luck
Yeah the cardboard backing was definitely a blooper that wasn’t supposed to happen haha! And great tips! The heat gun method is something I’m definitely going to have to try!! I appreciate you Daniel!🙏🏽
Keep going man, it's a lot of learning especially when it comes to troubleshooting, but you'll get there! I started a year and a half ago and I rarely have issues anymore at all.
Stumbled on your channel just browsing and salute you for doing what you do. I use htv and transfers but watching what you do step by step is dope and inspiring. Keep it up. Might have to hit you up for some work soon lol
I enjoyed watching this video. I’m soon to get my machine so every little steps helps. King you handle that well and I’ve learned much by watching you. Congratulations well job done🙏🏾💜
Amazing job! Starting with a 12 head machine is already something! The beanies really looked great! Not sure if it was mentioned already, but it is actually quite easy to remove the water soluble when you spray it with water a little bit and then use the torn off part to tap on the remaining water soluble. It takes it off very easily! Keep up the great work!
I appreciate it honestly! For the water soluble what are you referring to when you are saying tap it with the torn off part? I appreciate the love and support once again!
Hey bro been missing out on some of your channel content I've been gutting getting the shop ready and new equipment all that stuff. But bro bro bro is that a Mighty hope I see Wowin fire🔥
Fun stuff... embroidery is definitely a learning process and can be a headache. Been there done that 😎 Hooping of the caps contributes to most issues on them, besides proper digitizing.
Keep up the Videos. You are rocking. We own a 15 needle Ricoma and my advice Ball point needles. Saved us a world of issues. Lubrication and bobbin cleaning after 50k stitches Aldo recalibrate your needles every 100k stitches Keep up the videos. !!!!
Great Video, I've got MT-2003 and been struggling to find a good digitizer. Would you mind sharing who you are using? I need to get my digitizing quality upgraded. Thanks.
A big tip for embroidering those beanies is do a knockdown stitch in the matching color of the hat and then the design on top of it. Will help those small letters stand out. Works well on fleece and Sherpas too.
Hahaha I hear you on that but if I have the means to produce it I like to do it! Plus I hate our sourcing, I like to have full control and keep things in house as much as I can
Hey man found your channel just by surfing through TH-cam, I work at Lids and usually the polyester percentage on your thread makes a huge difference. I don't know what you're using but the tip might help
What needles do you use for hats? Having an issue with constant needle breaks and I’ve tried several different kinds. Thank you for sharing this video. Helps to see someone else troubleshooting
Just started watching you and love the videos. Do you mind me asking what the name of that piece of equipment you used that helped you line up the beanie at 7:15? Thank you!!
Using a better digitized file and changing up the size of the letters to better stitch out. Doing constant testing to get a good stitch out. However you can try using a smaller needle like a 65. Super glad it helps!
hey bro, are you having any issues embroidering flat bill snapbacks? i have the same machine and when I embroider flat bill caps 2 1/2" design I get a lot of needle breaks as the hat bill hits the bottom plate. I trace the design all the way to the top of the cap and still having issues. Thanks in ADVANCE
Baav, would you kindly share something, how do you manage to convince your clients that you do your work from home? i need that tip for sure coz it seems i will have to start off home based too
@@baavproductions at the end of it all it surely saves alot in terms of shop expenses and transport to the area of the shop..i get you and thank you for that.
Those machines struggle on caps bro. Number one machine sold 1 yr after purchase. Barudan the way to go for hats. Ricoma trimmers are horrible and flat throat plate equal deflection on rounded cap. New machines should run caps 850 spm min to 1000 spm even over center of caps.
@@baavproductions actually nvm i found what printer you use for one of your other videos but i have one more question. Where do you get all you t-shirts, sweaters, etc from? Like what website?
Music is added in the background to keep things interesting. Not sure how your not able to hear me as I’ve watched this video over myself on multiple devices and can hear myself perfectly. Appreciate your two cents tho lol

I’m sure someone’s already mentioned but also digitizing designs specifically for caps will help - start the stitching from centre bottom outwards.
Your most definitely right about that

Embroidering those hard structured hats are always a headache. Try a bigger 80/12 needle. It helps for the thicker hats but still a headache
I feel you!! Definitely will try out that needle🤘🏽
Fun stuff... embroidery is definitely a learning process and can be a headache. Been there done that 😎 Hooping of the caps contributes to most issues on them, besides proper digitizing.
Definitely fun stuff to work on. I appreciate you sharing! will definitely keep grinding at it!

Glad to have you on board! I appreciate the love🙏🏽
@@baavproductions No doubt..Keep going. I like what you're doing. You got a fan in me...Salute.
Quick question whats the measurements for the dual, L x W = 5ft x 2ft?
That is an easy fix before you hoop the hats iron on the seam with the iron or wet it and it would work that is my tip and it always work good luck.
Awesome tip! Will definitely give that a shot. Appreciate the tip!

Smart! Definitely will try that out Kyle✊🏽
Bro this a great video! Fire content
Awesome job , appreciate you for sharing 😉
Thank you! Appreciate you for watching!🙌🏽
Have you try changing your needle for the small letters. Hope that helps 🙂
You are braver than me, I stay away from hats. Out-sourcing hats is way less stressful.
Hahaha I hear you on that but if I have the means to produce it I like to do it! Plus I hate our sourcing, I like to have full control and keep things in house as much as I can
Awesome work man!! Keep it up! We all trying to make it.
I appreciate it John!!🤘🏽
Get a portable steamer and use it on the seams of those snapbacks. It'll reduce thread breaks significantly.
Awesome tip!
Hey man found your channel just by surfing through TH-cam, I work at Lids and usually the polyester percentage on your thread makes a huge difference. I don't know what you're using but the tip might help
Appreciate the tips! I’m using 100% polyester thread
What needles do you use for hats? Having an issue with constant needle breaks and I’ve tried several different kinds. Thank you for sharing this video. Helps to see someone else troubleshooting
If your needle is breaking it can be due to many issues. I’d check to see your not stitching too close to the brim of the hat.
Quality ❤
On structured hats it is important to stitch from inside (the center) out and bottom up. This avoids areas which can not move to make strange folding
Sweet tip! Definitely will keep that in mind. Appreciate it!
Hey! I saw that they gave a 2 day in- person training for the 2 head machine that you have. Did you get that? How was the online training?
Awesome content! I'm looking into getting a ricoma mt1501. Where do you buy your blank hats at though?
Wholesale suppliers like S&S and Sanmar, OTTO etc
Where do you get your blank hats from? I'm trying to start a hat business and am clueless to where to start
Just started watching you and love the videos. Do you mind me asking what the name of that piece of equipment you used that helped you line up the beanie at 7:15? Thank you!!
Glad to hear! Those are the mighty hoop system!
This was a long one but great video man!
Definitely showed a lot of the behind the scenes.
What did you change to “clean up” the small letters to make them cleaner looking? I have the same machine. Really struggling with beanies and hats
Using a better digitized file and changing up the size of the letters to better stitch out. Doing constant testing to get a good stitch out. However you can try using a smaller needle like a 65. Super glad it helps!
Change your needle to a ballpoint needle I just subscribed to your page you doing a great job keep the good work up.
I appreciate it!
Embroidery FUN ! ! ! ! i havent graduated to a multihead yet, just a single Barudan. Did you digitize the design yourself or had that sent out?
Tons of fun! I did not digitize this I had it outsourced!

Those small words look good a lot of times I tell customers we don’t do small prints of that nature

Hey bro thanks, how much density used for big letter and how much density for little letters tanks
I usually stick anywhere from .30-.40
Now I know so when I run into issues to clean the bottom station.
For sure!
Where do you buy your plain hats from?
why the machine do not alert you that the bobbin threat was empty? it doesnt have a sensor?
You still running that machine pros cons?
On the beanies use a water soluble stabilizer on the top of the beanie
Nevermind I see it
