In this embroidery machine tutorial episode of Embroidery Hub, Manny gives a tutorial how to do 3d embroidery on hats. Along the way you'll learn helpful embroidery tips on how to setup your digitized design for puff embroidery, making sure your puff embroidery looks clean, getting rid of excessive foam on your puff embroidery and much more! 3D embroidery is a great cost-effective way to offer more variety to your customers while being able to charge a little extra since puff embroidery has a higher perceived value.

You're so welcome!

[@BIGDaddy504]

All of my favorite hats have the puffed looked and have always loved the look and wondered how is was done. Recently I started hand embroidery to pass the time and wanted to see if I could ever accomplish that level of detail. This video is great and explains everything, I don't have a machine but now I understand the effect.

[@ricomatv]

Thanks for watching and for your great feedback!

[@ricomatv]

You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@plamenstavrev2390]

Great lesson, 10x for sharing. I will do appreciate if you share your experience in digitizing for 3d puff embroidery? What should be the stitches density, do we need to put underlay, if yes which one is better - edge, parallel, zigzag... Thanks in advance...

[@creolepie]

Very informative, thank you

[@ricomatv]

Glad it was helpful!

[@mvision2201]

The Ligter to the Hat was tellem reallest clean’up technique by far!💯

[@edpalmieri3470]

Good explanation of the foam embroidery letters. Hard part is having the Puffy alphabet that is digitized for that type of embroidery.

[@ricomatv]

Agreed. Thanks for watching!

[@cutflower36]

Very Interesting, I have a brother now. I will be doing more research on the rooms brand. Thanks. I used a hair dryer on my puffy cap, worked well.

[@ricomatv]

A hair dryer is a great idea :) Make sure to visit our website to learn all about us: www.ricoma.us/ Let us know if you have any questions! Also if you haven't joined already, we'd love to have you in our facebook group "Embroidery and Custom Apparel Mastery" where you can join fellow embroiderers and share all your projects or ask any embroidery questions you may have: facebook.com/groups/embroiderymastery/

[@suecollins3333]

I understood that we have to use the puffy foam because the other does not work and is flameable. Is that not true

[@thiagobrenorodrigues529]

very good!

[@kalvinabro7130]

Love this channel🙏🙏🙏

[@ricomatv]

We appreciate that!

[@Anybody187-gc9fz]

Great video!

[@ricomatv]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@user-qi7ue5qt5p]

Thank you for the video! How long does it take to make one cap as in the video?

[@wilmercb]

We need a video on adjusting the presser foot ASAP, towards 3D Puff, before my MT arrive 😬 Thanks 👍🏽

[@ricomatv]

It's on the list of videos we are shooting. We'll move it up and hopefully have it in the next couple of weeks :)

[@wilmercb]

¡Esutpendo! Looking forward! 👍🏽

[@wilmercb]

Ricoma Embroidery Machines Any idea when the video on how to adjust the presser foot for cap embroidery would be ready? 😬👍🏼

[@Novoworks]

So... how do we digitize properly for design in Chroma? Or is Plus or Luxe required in order to do this?

[@slushjoe]

nice thanks

[@madelinea.8596]

Great video thank you

[@ricomatv]

Glad you enjoyed it!

I like the video and hoping to watch more cause am just a begner

[@coconut9857]

Sub to your channel...love this bro!

[@guadalupeweaver6400]

You explain everything in detail. However, the items you embroidered are caps. You’ve encouraged me to make a purchase of an industrial embroidery machine.

[@ricomatv]

Glad to hear that. Reach out to us if you want more information on our machines. www.ricoma.us/contactus

[@michaelaaron18]

Love this! Can you do 3D puff on a sweat shirt?

[@ricomatv]

Hi Michael, it would be the same process as embroidering 3D puff on a beanie, which we have a video on: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bH27h5yNltGmhbM , but we will put your request on the list for future episodes!

[@alwaysatthefair]

I appreciate you guys so much! Thankyou for giving REAL tips and process in your vids. You guys are THE BOMB

[@ricomatv]

You're welcome!

[@masterofphotography]

Thanks!

[@ricomatv]

You bet! Thanks for watching :)

[@stephaniemccurley691]

I see puffy hats with much higher puff. I is there any difference than just the foam to create it?

[@rossimakafricanboy6140]

thanks

[@ricomatv]

You're welcome!

[@stewartfinley]

Utilise, itself, essentially, basically, themselves

[@gccreativeembroidery5617]

You are amazing good job

[@ricomatv]

Thank you so much 😀

[@kurupt8308]

I’ve learned burning from inside the cap is better to avoid burning the front

[@ricomatv]

Hi! Thank you for sharing this with us. Both methods have their advantages, and the choice depends on various factors including the material you're embroidering on, the design complexity, and personal preference.

[@scud69er]

I liked the video itself

[@trishwoods914]

Great video - does it matter what .MM puffy foam you use? I see that it comes in 2mm, 3mm and larger?

[@ricomatv]

It simply depends on how pronounced you want the effect to be. All are fine.

[@dawna0316]

Does the Ricoma EM-1010 do the 3D stitch? If not, what machine model can accomplish it? Looking around to buy a embroidery machine.

[@ricomatv]

Hi Dawna, the EM-1010 is able to do 3D embroidery. If you are looking to do 3D embroidery as a business we recommend our 1501-TC or MT-1501 as they are our commercial machines and are equipped with bigger motors and can handle larger orders. Our EM-1010 is more of a hobbyist machine, so if that is what you're looking for then it will get the job done. If you'd like to find out more about our machines fill out the form on the following page and someone will gladly answer all of your questions: www.ricoma.us/contactus

[@nshi18gml]

thank you for your incredibly well done precise videos! i was wondering if you might be able to help me with ?'s on ricoma machines? if so i'd love to hear from you.

[@ricomatv]

Hi there, thanks so much for watching! You can ask all of your embroidery-related questions 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! We recommend you join this group as we'd love to have you! facebook.com/groups/embroiderymastery

[@Cathy84]

Wonderful... thanks for the information. What embroidery machine would you recommend, for someone now starting out doing custom hats? Thanks.

[@ricomatv]

Either our TC1501 or our MT 1501!

[@porterbennett7041]

how different would it look from the em1010 to the commercial vs?

[@josephabarca302]

Super helpful! Keywords essentially, itself. Lol

[@ricomatv]

¡Estamos muy contentos de que haya ayudado!

[@lazystef74]

He likes the word “essentially “

[@raulortiz547]

Yeah, but he loves the word "Itself" more.

[@chiboinoluv5658]

He reminds me of the apparently kid 😂😂😂😂😂

[@robhood670]

If "essentially" is the word you're trying to get me drunk with, you lost my friend. I'd say take a shot everytime he says "actually".

[@Ruck.Norris]

Essentially.

[@ricomatv]

Thanks for watching!

[@LucyLu70]

Thanks for the video. Can I use temporary adhesive spray instead of tape?

[@ricomatv]

Yes, absolutely!

[@diablo7apparel655]

@manny- How do i aadjust the presser foot to the height of the foam?

[@ricomatv]

Hi, we are going to be making a video on this subject in the coming weeks. In the meantime if you own a Ricoma feel free to call support and have a tech walk you through the process: www.ricoma.us/tech-support

[@trijokosusilo9531]

itself is cool

[@remix0125]

Awesome vid! I am having a hard time. How thick is the foam that you’re using? I have 2mm and I think it’s too thin .

[@ricomatv]

3mm foam is the best option!

[@delta69er]

Essentially, its about the depth itself, actually.

[@ricomatv]

Thank you for watching, Jake!

[@danialkhan6020]

Hi.nice way you explained.can we use craft foam.what size of needle and what type of thread (weight).

[@ricomatv]

Yes you can use craft foam for more tips on thread and needles, watch this video -> kzbin.info/www/bejne/jGKwY5KXgcaBjcU

[@karenramirez7225]

Question, what if you are doing a business logo on a cap that has 3 different colors? The how would you go about matching the foam color for that? If that makes sense, thank you!

[@ricomatv]

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! We recommend you join this group as we'd love to have you! facebook.com/groups/embroiderymastery

[@cutflower36]

Oh I did sign up to learn more but was asked what type of machine I have. i dont have a ricoma. I have a brother single needle right now. If I should get large, I will be looking to upgrade. So that's y I wanted to learn more on it.

[@ricomatv]

Sorry for the confusion, the machine selection is actually for you to select which machine you would like to see demonstrated.

[@AlbertoRodriguez-zx4mb]

Did the presser foot high was adjusted after the blue thread before you do the 3d foam? How to adjust the presser foot? Great video.

[@ricomatv]

Reach out to our support team to learn how to adjust the presser foot.ricoma.com/US/contact-us

[@teabagNBG]

im looking for a embroidery machines for shoes, shirts (hoodies), hats and patches (puffy, 3d, chenille style and normal), can u tell me a few good machines i should google for? thx

[@Jerusalem83]

Amazing video. What machine would you recommend for hat embroidery? Nothing huge but a normal standard machine would be preferred. Cheers

[@ricomatv]

Hello! For our starting embroidery machine we recommend you looking into our EM-1010. Check it out below! ricoma.com/US/machine/em-1010

[@sarimahismail5348]

What kind of stich do you useon foam?satin stich or fill stich?

[@ricomatv]

Satin :)

[@jonathanjolee1148]

“Essentially”

[@lindao7887]

now taking donations for this machine..................I thank you in advance. :-) (This would be to supplement my SS income which ain't much!)

[@dano7369]

0% interest payments going on their website right now, just checked it out!

[@csdurch]

I there a difference in the foam one would purchase at Michael’s or Hobby Lobby than the foam used for embroidery?

[@ricomatv]

No difference, you can even get it from Walmart.

[@miguelinatorres460]

I lake work in the machine the embroidery I love

[@lyoung2814]

Is there any other adjustments that need to be done? I am having thread breaks only when using 3mm foam on a structured cap and 80/12 needle .... should I Do something different with tension?

[@ricomatv]

We suggest to switch out the needle to 75/11. Sometimes a thick needles is not good when running so many layers!

[@chucktaylor1908]

Pretty sweet. But even more cost effective woulda been if you had turned the foam 90*, rite? But still this was/is pretty sweet. And loved the subject matter (the supes logo), I mean let's all agree that the supes is awesome.. Lol.

[@sarahricecreativellc1399]

I have the TC. Do I need to mess with tension when adding the foam?

[@ricomatv]

Not really, but if you’re not getting good results, slightly looser tension gives better results on puff. But wouldn’t mess with it if no issues

[@StarlynRdz]

it would be cool if you guys show the process on the digitize process

[@ricomatv]

There are some videos on that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jGKwY5KXgcaBjcU

[@lucaslegz]

Thank you for this video. Can you tell me what size foam you used?

[@ricomatv]

Hi! The size of the foam depends on the design you do and the thickness you were looking for

[@lucaslegz]

@@ricomatv Thank you!

[@madelinescreations7718]

Looks great. Is it a special foam or is it craft foam that you can get at Michael’s?

[@ricomatv]

Nope just regular foam from Joan Fabrics!

[@csdurch]

I’ve also seen two different depths of foam; a thinner version and a thicker version. Which do you use?

[@ricomatv]

Hi Carole, we used the regular foam that we purchased from Walmart.

[@mensahnukunu6439]

Very nice Good Teacher .. But pls what is the thickness of the foam

[@ricomatv]

Check description!

[@MKBuddy1]

how thick do you do the layer (satin below the puff)?

[@ricomatv]

Hello MK Buddy, great question. You want to have to satin below the puff overlap where the puff will be about 15%-20% to avoid gaps between the puff and the regular satin stitch underneath because the thread contracts when stitched. Hope this answers your question.

[@corneliushughes8797]

I want to see if you guys can do a video doing embroidery on the side and the back of the hat please I’m looking to buy the MT1502.

[@ricomatv]

Hello we have some videos on this kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2PFnXyrh6yJmrM kzbin.info/www/bejne/emHZZ6mre6mijck Hope it helps

[@candacegarza8452]

Are there any adjustments that need to be made for the needles?

[@ricomatv]

You can use a regular 75/11 needle! It totally depends on the detail you want to create or a specific cap you want to do.

[@euroeffex1075]

What needle size are you using? Im getting crazy needle breaks and thread breaks with 11/75 needles

[@ricomatv]

We use 75/11! Check out this recent tutorial we did in which we go more in depth regarding caps! kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqK5hop-l6-Ujac

[@anthonymartinez2568]

Is there a certain type of foam to use? Also, should density be changed? I have an EM 1010 and I just want to make myself a few 3D puff caps.

[@ricomatv]

Hi Anthony! We recommend 3 mm craft foam. There is foam specifically made for this purpose: allstitch.net/product/3mm-puff-foam-for-embroidery-orange-1201.cfm

[@ricomatv]

You also want to increase the density when doing 3D puff to make sure the stitches cover the foam.

[@JP-hd6lb]

Can you do 3D puff on the Ricoma EM-1010? Or do you need one or the bigger machine?

[@ricomatv]

3D puff can definitely be done on the EM-1010

[@user-go5iq2ok4q]

I'm get learning to much Puff and embroidery logo

[@ricomatv]

We are so happy to hear that!

[@tanyaterrazas9377]

how do you set the EM-1010 to automatic manual mode?

[@ricomatv]

For help with your machine connect with our service team via webcam right here -> ricoma.com/US/tech-support

[@videomaster10100]

Hello, is there an additional step to set this up to tell the machine that this is a 3D design? Would love to see a video from start to finish on this type of design. Thanks so much.

[@ricomatv]

Hi there! Take a look at this tutorial > kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYjShZmmiJKYbqMsi=y5-F_RIhf47jr8NP

[@chrismonty69]

Where do you buy your caps? They look really good quality.

[@ricomatv]

Hello we mostly use otto caps. Here is their site ottocap.com/

[@vrahilofficial]

Its hard i've been trying this technique but got extra stitches at the side of my design. I dont knw how to fix it. Do u hv the tutorial on design setting for puff 3d?

[@ricomatv]

If you're looking for digitizing help you can check out our Chroma KZbin channel! kzbin.info/door/8S6rH8vVsEH_D64lklGTFA

[@emmaaceves1187]

What needle size should I be using? Mine keeps breaking I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong

[@ricomatv]

Hi Emma! We recommend using a 75/11 needle. Also, consider checking out our blog where we discuss 3D Puff >info.ricoma.com/blog/how-to-do-3d-puff-embroidery-on-caps
