I love your videos and TH-cam channel I have a friend that wants to make a bookmark where it’s embroidered with a feather on one side and the other side has the persons name on it I’ve watched numerous videos I have not had success from what I’m gathering if I did it your way I would embroider both designs and then cut out. Then bond together and then stitch out outline and lay on top and sew final border. Is it too much fabric
What is the point of using the water soluble backing if it just gets teared off? Couldn't you just finish the satin border on the original fabric and apply the heat n bond straight to it?
You can, but since you can't clip the cloth exactly next to the thread you'll still have a little ring of fabric surrounding the patch. You also have to apply Fray Check or a similar product to prevent the fabric from fraying. Either way, it's not nearly as nice of a border as the way they're doing it, which in turn isn't as nice as a traditional Merrowed border (which requires specialized equipment). I've been doing it the way you suggest then using a heat knife to cut the edge of the fabric. The heat knife seals the border to prevent fraying, but it significantly more labor intensive.
It would be great to have a step by step on how to set up your Ricoma machine and .dst file for this process of creating patches. Do you have anything similar?

Hi Laura, thanks for the video. I'm going to try to make my first patch for a customer, but I'll do a test first. Do you have instructions on how to create the running stitch and satin stitches in Chroma to go around my existing logo? Thank you.
Hi there, thanks so much for watching. This is a great question to ask in our Facebook support group, Embroidery and Custom Apparel Mastery. This group is meant for all lovers of embroidery with lots of resources and more members discussing topics and helping each other out and learning about Ricoma machines and other brands!

Hi Tammy! We will certainly create more sublimation and embroidery videos in the future. We have a video of heat transfer applique! Check it out: th-cam.com/video/Wswr8SMav-g/w-d-xo.html
Michael's sells it. They have two versions: Heat n Bond Lite and Heat n Bond Ultra. Lite has less adhesive. Both are quite cheap -- about $10 for 5 yards of material. Michael's always has coupons to buy it for cheap, as well as periodic online sales.
Joann Fabrics also has it. You can by it in a package or by the yard. It is usually cheaper by the yard. Just make sure the cutter rolls it instead of folding it.
Just order these custom made from china. Cheaper and less time consuming. This is a great idea when you are doing a few to maybe 10 custom made “need it tomorrow” jobs.
Great video! I wonder if we could just embroider the patch directly on 3 layers of the clear WSS?
Yes you totally can.

What is the point of using the water soluble backing if it just gets teared off? Couldn't you just finish the satin border on the original fabric and apply the heat n bond straight to it?
I am wondering the same. Dont understand why you need water soluble
You can, but since you can't clip the cloth exactly next to the thread you'll still have a little ring of fabric surrounding the patch.

Nice method, I'll try it next time I make patches. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
What type of Twill did you use 100% cotton or Cotton/Poly Blend?
blend!
If you're going to immediately apply it, why not use a fusible interfacing instead of the water soluble stabilizer?
sounds like a good idea we will try it.
Thank you so much for your video.

Love the techniques you showed. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
Why do we need to the aqua top if we are just going to take it off?
To prevent stitches from sinking into terry knits and similar fabrics.
If I use a larger hoop can I make more than 1
Yes
Love it❤
Thanks so much for the love!
