Embroidering Beanies with the mighty hoop freestyle arm

[@sunrisetacticalgear2676]

Very nice! You’re knock down stitch was the key to making those narrow letters look great on that type of fabric.

[@adubbproductions]

Yup. Dense enough to knockdown and stabize.

[@johndoeee888]

This was very good method. Wouldnt have thought of it. @@adubbproductions

[@leviteapparel]

This is a Amazing example also love detail. Stitching on point no pulling Very detailed art simple as it may seem.

[@tamarrahblakeman489]

I literally just ordered the mighty hoop starter kit last Monday. It would have been a get help on my beanie order....I can't wait to get it next week!!

[@charleneweege7149]

They look great!

[@adubbproductions]

Thank you.

[@billyesheffield6772]

The knock down stich is nice, could you also use water soluble also?

[@HoopMaster-MightyHoop]

Another great video! The 5.5" Fixture with FreeStyle Arm worked perfect with those beanies 🤩🤘

[@adubbproductions]

Any other way and id be pulling out my hair. 😂😂😂😂

[@appalachiaangel8169]

thank you for this video it really helped me out with my new mighty hoops!!

[@syltoy2745]

I have learned a lot from your videos. Thank you I've mastered the beanies too. Appliques are still not easy for me. I don't do my own digitizing either like you .

[@leviteapparel]

Also notice that when you're doing art for embroider, you have backing. Is that needed and necessary?

[@adubbproductions]

You mean the knock down stitch. I only have that their to make the think hat fabric lay down so the text can be neat and legible.

[@nahnisjourney1406]

Nice!

*How Often do you have to do Maintenance on your Embroidery machine?*

[@adubbproductions]

You are supposted to oil your machine after every 4 continuous hours of use (four the needles used during that period. Oil the other components monthly. I honestly oil as needed. I always tell myself im gonna oil after this finishes then I forget and put the next thing on. I probably oil the used needles every two months and the actually moving parts of the head maybe every 6 months. I change the lithium grease every year and a half sometimes longer. Add the drop of oil to the main back shaft every 7 months or so and change the grease in the back shaft cover every two years or so. My maintenace is not on point tbh but these things can take it. When I start to hear a wierd noise I oil up.

[@moneyslave6186]

What size of hoop are you using and how wide can you actually embroider on that hoop with out having problems.

[@ttowntshirts]

Love the color combo. I found that cut away is best bc you’re washing those. And I take a ruler to put in between the top and top of the hat to make sure it goes in the same spot. Good video i dont think ill ever wear a little color like that but you know lol

[@adubbproductions]

T town what up. Thank you i appreciate it my guy. I would have applied cut away if there was no knockdown stitch. The knockdown stitch stabilizes the entire area so it will remain stabile even in the wash. Did the same job for this client last year on black beanies and last year’s hats still look amazing, fuzz balls and all embroidery still in tacked.

[@ttowntshirts]

@adubbproductions knock-down makes sense to not have to. I'll have to test it myself. I just going by the rule you wear it you don't tear it. Thanks brother we always out here learning.

[@adubbproductions]

@ttowntshirts exactly. you are correct. You out of all people are far too skilled to just go by rules. Understand the rules and you can reinvent them. As long as it’s can remain stable doesn’t matter. 👍🏾. Your stuff is to good to blindly follow rules. You should be setting new rules on your own stuff. I’ve seen your work.

[@ttowntshirts]

@adubbproductions thank you sir I have a lot of content coming out this month. Video a day for both tshirt KZbin and also my tint page been crazy making all these videos. You do push me to be better and pick things up here and there

[@ThreadsAndPressStudio]

Thank you . Encouraged to try my first beanie. How much do you suggest I charge for a design like that? Thanks

[@adubbproductions]

At least $15 per for quantities of 12 and under. More than 12 maybe $13 per but also consider how long it's gonna take you to make them. Do you only have 1 head or do you have 2-4 heads. The faster you can make them the easier it is to produce. One machine you can only give them but so much of a price break. It's a loaded question.

[@thecraftedmind1735]

TFS! Nice

[@theprintperfect]

Where did you get the hats?

[@adubbproductions]

From my client.

[@tamarrahblakeman489]

What is your opinion on the topping for the beanies? I just had a 40 beanie order but I used the topping. Do you think the topping is value added? It's more clean up especially with letters

[@adubbproductions]

It really depends on the design and how you are embroidering it. The real key to knowing what to use is understanding what the purpose of using it is. Example, In this case I had a thick beanie and had to embroider very thin lines. In digitizing I decided to make my knock down stitch act as both a stabilizer as well as knock down the fabric so my thin lines can embroider clean. Topping wasn’t necessary. Like you said, the clean up is a pain. I use it when it’s necessary. If I can avoid it I avoid it.

[@tamarrahblakeman489]

@adubbproductions thanks for the feedback....I just got my machine mt-1501 in October and as you know this is the busy season. So I have not fully sat down on digitizing. I've taking a few Ricoma training classes, but it will be next year before I have the time to really learn and practice. But I love watching your videos. When I ordered my mighty hoop I asked about your affiliate code but its only for a machine. I tried! 😍

[@constancebell454]

Where did you purchase beanies. Nice video. I do my beanies that way.

[@adubbproductions]

I think my client got them on Amazon.

[@constancebell454]

@@adubbproductions thank you

[@adubbproductions]

My pleasure.

[@maryporter4847]

Can a person or you or anyone embroidery on the rim of the Baseball Caps and what machine can do it

[@adubbproductions]

On the bill? No. You have to embroider on the fabric before you sew the hat together.

[@gapeach30316]

Do you digitize for other ppl?

[@adubbproductions]

Yes i do. Send your design to [e-mail] for a price quote.

[@tdhmonte]

I'm sorry, but the text looks terrible! Some of the text letters are touching each other! You should have used a bigger font and more space between the top and bottom letters.

[@adubbproductions]

No need to be sorry to me. I got paid and I personally like her logo. The customer designed their own and they like it, that’s all that really matters. Do you reject customers because you don’t like their artwork or logos? Do you tell them I’m sorry but your text look terrible and give them your opinion on how they should have designed their company logo?
