Looks like that lady that claims she has the patent for the emboss embroidery did not contact Ricoma. Maybe she is just trying to scare small mom and pop shops.

[@anthonyreyes3888]

That weird because I heard alot about all this oh wait maybe it is ricoma the whole time

[@etiennecustoms]

When I put the width in it gets really small, any suggestions on how to change this, also having issues changing the colors before tracing.

[@lizlafferty1278]

Have you received a letter from the person with the patent for this effect? Some other KZbinrs have. for reference: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGnJXmRmlrSYmtk

[@persoart]

good tutorial....but the music is disturbing...

[@ricomatv]

Hi! Thank you for your feedback. We will keep this in mind.

[@savinggrace70]

I love this idea, but I recently came across a KZbinr who was warned obout doing an embroidery embossing video. Apparently someone has the patent on it and they are going after people using it. I presume Ricoma has purchased the licence from her to show this video!

[@lorrainemia]

Awesome Tutorial! Best yet!

[@adubbproductions]

Excellent. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🙌🏾

[@ricomatv]

We appreciate the love, Allan!

[@NathanielParkinson]

What backing did you use? Definitely want to try this!

[@ricomatv]

Hi! For the stabilizer, we used 2.5 medium weight.

[@brighterhoopes]

@@ricomatv Medium weight cutaway? could you use a fabric for the backing since you have the white stabilizer also hooped? Seems like it would be softer on the skin, but may not be stiff enough for the foam. What do you think?

[@wendytownrow3950]

Love this technique, it looks so neat. I was wondering if you have had contact from the woman who has been claiming the patent on this technique and has been sending take down demands or pay licensing all over youtube etc?

[@johndoeee888]

I'm guessing she's bluffing. That's like me doing a 3d foam design on a hat. And she's claiming that's her technique. 😂

[@wendytownrow3950]

@@johndoeee888 I agree but she is going after small designers who dont have the funds to fight.

[@johndoeee888]

@@wendytownrow3950 she's mad because it was probably her niche. And now everyone is doing it.

[@MirexDevonRex]

I normally duplicate then turn that into a running stitch.

[@ricomatv]

I would love to see your designs. Post them on our facebook group if you like.

[@yet-youngeducatedtalented2177]

But how easy it is to align that with the top to assure it stitches right on top

[@janelporter]

NICE! thanks for the idea, will definitely give it a try!

[@ricomatv]

Awesome, let us know how it goes :)

[@carolporter7094]

I don’t have ricoma just a regular sewing embroidery machine. Will this work with that?

[@ricomatv]

yes it will. This is an easy one to do.

[@judepicton6252]

Brilliant clear instructional video. So much quicker tham the traditional trapunto embroidery, that I used to do for many many years.

[@ricomatv]

Glad it was helpful!

[@arburton300]

Thanks for making this video. This is something I’ve been wanting to do for a while but I didn’t want to use hat foam.

[@ricomatv]

Glad it was helpful! Let us know how it goes. (:

[@aceboogie959]

Can you link your ruler? Great video, I really enjoyed the dude talking us through. Good job

[@ricomatv]

We appreciate the love! We linked the ruler below, let us know if you need anything else. Ruler: www.creativegridsusa.com/products/CGRMT5

[@rooseveltkennedy3746]

I love that class. Thanks you for giving me the opportunit to learn something new. I'm going to try that as soon as I can, but what I learned the most was how to use a marker to get an accurate Trace line. I can't wait for the next class.

[@ricomatv]

Hi! We are so happy to hear this, let us know if you have any questions!

[@cherhill8577]

I couldn’t see how you did the magic knot! Which video shows that?

[@ricomatv]

See if you can slow down the video in your settings so you can see how it is done.

[@Yasr_98]

Can I buy Chroma Lux and use it permanently?

[@ricomatv]

Hello, Thank you for watching. You actually until the end of the month to buy it out right. Only the subscription model is being offered after that.

[@merandalong2262]

What kind of foam is that? And where can I get some?

[@ricomatv]

Hi! We recommend checking our some craft stores!

[@vonniemuniain5315]

love this...thanks for teaching

[@heyyou4089]

What’s the best way to digitize an “embossed” font?

[@ricomatv]

Hi! We included a digitizing tutorial in this video. Let us know if you need any help.

[@joannehughes]

Can you do this on a single needle machine?

[@ricomatv]

absolutely

[@ZynthiaJ]

How long does this last? And what’s the best way to wash?

[@ricomatv]

Hi! The longevity depends on the aftercare. We recommend turning the sweatshirt inside out when washing it, using mild detergent, washing in cold water, and air drying.

[@cherhill8577]

Can you do this on t-shirts or other material?

[@ricomatv]

You should be able to do it on almost anything. Like always though test, test, test.

[@vilmareal9678]

Gracias por contarme, como puedo digitalizar un nombre que las personas me mandan en un foto? Tengo chroma luxe gracias

[@ricomatv]

Puedes utilizar el BACKDROP tool Para trazar las letras manualmente.

[@vilmareal9678]

Porque me rechazan siempre que quiero entrar al grupo de ricoma?

[@vilmareal9678]

Gracias practicaré

[@stayfocuseddi]

Excellent video. Much appreciated❤❤

[@ricomatv]

We are so glad this was helpful!

[@TYJ419]

Great video! Did you program this so the middle letter "A" was stitch first to evenly distribute the fabric? Tracey

[@ricomatv]

Yes I did

[@vilmareal9678]

Gracias por las clase, nesecito aprender más de chroma luxe 🙏

[@ricomatv]

Hola! Me alegra que nuestro video te ayudo. Porfavor avisenos si necesita ayuda.

[@suelima178]

Thank you so much for the video, very helpful. I see where you used 2 cut away stabilizer, but what was the black material you used, and was it ironed on?

[@ricomatv]

Hi! That was black stabilizer!

I'm so glad!

[@deidrawest203]

Awesome video and how too! Very detailed and the sharpie marker vs the placement stitch is genius!!

Glad you liked it!

[@bigfu]

When using foam and backing do you have to use a longer needle ?

[@ricomatv]

Hi! You can use the standard needle!

[@bigfu]

I wonder what it would look like with a different color stitch

[@ricomatv]

Tag us if you try it!

[@mimsembroidery8075]

I missed what you hooped initially. It looks like 2 layers of stabilizer?

[@ricomatv]

Hi! We have used two layers of medium-weight stabilizer!

[@mimsembroidery8075]

@@ricomatv thank you for responding!

[@elevated-apparel]

That's ugly and not the real embossed way. The run stitch makes it look ugly. Don't think I'll do this nor waste foam. There gotta be a better way than this. This is a crafters craze.

[@ricomatv]

The real embossed way would require you to get a hydraulic press, make custom molds for every item you are going to make, and this is very expensive and takes a lot of time. Or you can do it this way. Thanks for watching.

[@bigfu]

You can send $$$$ On silicone heat press ..Thats the way to do it with out stitching..

[@cmorebutts7]

Great stuff, definitely gonna try!

[@ricomatv]

It is so easy, you are going to love it. Thanks for watching
