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!

I bought the premade file from fullerembroideryworks.com/ but if you look up Faux Marrow Edge Embroidery, I'm sure you can find some other options!

Make sure you are using the correct side of the film. If you are, then you may need to dial back how much white ink is printing. The default setting for 100% is too much. 30-50% is good but it may take some testing.

You want to use a foam font or get your file created for foam. The main reason is because you want the threads to be a lot more dense than standard to help keep the foam from showing through the threads.

Thank you very much!

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

You can make a patch with two layers so if you only embroider the front then layer it and finish with the border, you will not see the stitches on the back!

I no longer have the same machine so I cannot help you :( I'm sorry

For me, I would get some crystalizing if I had too much pretreat when trying to dry it with a heat press. I wouldn't use an excess amount but there is more of a wiggle room than people thing there is. Just takes some testing!

@@LovesBranding would you agree that a slow curing by means of heat would eliminate the crystallization? ( i.e. hot air).

@@websurfer2344 Could definitely test it, I didn't like air drying because it left the shirt feeling super starch-y. I have a friend that throws them through the dryer to evaporate the water in the pretreat but would still need to heat press before printing for the smoothest surface.

Ah yeah, I got lucky that it came apart. You could always try a patch and heat press it on or head rest seat covers to embroider onto that but it loses the OEM look.

I'm not sure :(

Glad you enjoyed it!

I'm not entirely sure on volume of shirts but for an estimate, my cost on ink per shirt was anywhere between $2-6. Depends on how big the designs were and how much white is in the design!

If you're having issues printing white ink, your ink line might be clogged.

The machines are so expensive :,(

If you are good mechanically and are comfortable working on machines, it MIGHT be. BUT I would honestly say no because there are so many small electronics and pieces that it would be easy to mess it up. Having Epson out to repair is roughly $3k+. The new ones are expensive but comes with the warranty and can be extended so you don't have to worry about it at all.

The best method is with testing on a sample shirt. What I do is test different amounts and cover up different parts of the shirt so I can test 3-4 different amounts on a single shirt. Then print it and cure to see which amount works best!

It was a fun project and one of my top hoodies :) Lasted a year with regular washes. Its a lot more faded now than it used to be though unfortunately

Thanks!

Best of luck! White shirts can be "easier" than black shirts but are a bit tricky to first figure out because they can fade more

¡Gracias por ver el vídeo!

I found it at an embroidery expo! I think it was a product they were testing so I'm not sure if its for sale publicly. If I find a link, I'll reply it

It is something very similar to this: www.stahls.com/how-to-rip-away-applique-process

This was for a 1-time wear project so I'm not sure :/

PT is the worst part of DTG 😭😭

Never tried it but they are a good alternative!

It wouldn't be too expensive. I don't make these anymore unfortunately

Unfortunately there's a lot of variables to consider. One thing I see with some machines is the cap driver being too high. It's kind of hard to explain over comments but I found this video on how to adjust a SWF machine. Other machines are very similar. The goal is to get it so the cap will sit as close as possible to the needle hole. The more space there is, the more likely there is some deflection in the needle causing it to not go straight down. Give this a try, if not, I would recommend reaching out to a tech to get it dialed in

@@LovesBranding i lowered the driver, the presser feet too...tried it all

I don't :(

Glad you enjoyed it!

You're welcome 😊

Thanks for watching, Barbara!

He may have removed it. You may be able to reach out to him via email to get a hold of it!

I was able to make my own with Embrilliance Stitch Artist although I later saw some blank designs on Etsy. I used a heavy black contractor trash bag for the first few that I made until I purchased the clear plastic. Thank you for an excellent video!

@@lauriesouthard3335 Glad you were able to get it to work out!

Thanks for watching :)

Glad it was helpful!

Just using a ruler and taking my time! I did a video with a laser which I tried and it was okay but not that powerful

Appreciate the love! Unfortunately, this is likely my last video. I have started another business and the goal will be to post some long format content on there but the video styles are going to be different. Right now, we are mainly on Instagram @streetwearhouse_official if you want to check it out! We have a KZbin but its just reposted content from IG

Glad it was helpful!

Play around with the temperature and pressure. You may not need any pressure depending on the heat transfer material. The goal is to soak the heat into the patch to activate the adhesive and have the adhesive bond to the beanie fabric. The light pressure helps the second part making sure it has contact with the beanie. Also, some acrylic beanies are better to decorate than others. I try to stay away from the really thin beanies.

Its a faux border to make it looks like a merrow edge!

Definitely important to make them last :)

I'm not sure if I have it anymore. Someone told me the guy took the file down. You may be able to find an alternative or reach out directly to Jeff Fuller to create something like this again!

Yes, its a modified satin stitch to make it look like a marrow border

This was on my F2100 using it as a temp DTF printer. I don't have a good grasp on DTF printers in the market at the moment. Honestly, if you're not looking to produce transfers to sell, I would recommend buying it from a company like Supacolor or stahls

Worn and washed for over a year. I shot this video in January 2023. Probably have washed and dried it (high temp with the rest of my clothes) at least 20 times. It's super super faded now compared to when it was a newer dollar but is still holding on! I stopped wearing it recently though and am just keeping it for the novelty

Possibly! I don't use this twill much to be honest

Do you use the Madeira thread? Some of these threads are not as good and shred easily.
