Best machine embroidery channel ever

[@sewfabulous101]

Love the video!!!! I never knew one could appliqué any font, love defont website!!!!! Thanks so much!!! I will be downloading many fonts from there.

[@RomeroThreads]

Thank you! Yes, so many fonts to choose from.

[@user-jl8wy3ft2x]

So glad I came across this video! I was having trouble doing applique for letters. You explained everything so well and I was able to complete my first applique design! Thank you so much for your help.

[@sewsowdesignstudiowfelicia3097]

I love your videos. You are a natural teacher. Thank you for all that you do. I have Wilcom Digitizing software and a TC 1501.

[@RomeroThreads]

Thank you Felicia!

[@janetperkins1175]

I am new to Hatch I was following along till you got to creating offset. I was not able to see what you were clicking to be able to make changes.

[@c_l_p8373]

I didn't understand step c. zig zag stitch: 3mm spacing & 3.5mm wide zig zag. Is 3mm spacing in Wilcom on the Fills section and is zig zag wide on the "Special" ? Also, on the special tab there is so many to pick from but not zigzag is not there, just column c, applique, bitmap, complex fill, sequin etc. Thanks

[@jazzie91097]

my outline does do the inner A part

[@paolaurbina2117]

Do a video cleaning the aplique

[@nellieburnamprichard4398]

how do you get from the downloqded font to it showing up in Hatch?

[@colincourier]

Hi romero, you dont show hoe to install this font to hatch 2, have you a vid that shows this please.colin

[@dalou234]

How do you get what you downloaded on your hatch software 3

[@user-jw2rn8yj2k]

Does anyone know how to do this?

[@LucyLu70]

Thanks for this video. Are you able to make a video on how you did the set up on the MT1501 How did you get it to stop between the stitches

[@RomeroThreads]

It stops by itself because it has a color change. On the screen it should say A/M and it will stop in between colors.

[@tanyacorey8641]

Thank you for the video. Hot hot was the heat press. And how many mins was it set for. Thanks 🙏

[@kirsihamalainen5447]

Wich folder did you put The font in?

[@petrag.4092]

👍👍👍

[@nirajshrestha3294]

But how did you cut the extra clothes

[@OKLAHOMALOVE2]

Will you please do this with Wilcom instead please?

[@lollipopstitches]

I love your videos and how you explain things!! Could you possibly do a video on how to make an interlocking name/monogram/words etc?

[@RomeroThreads]

Thank you, yes I can.

[@lollipopstitches]

@@RomeroThreads Thank you!!

[@jessiegibson9023]

Good video thanks

[@chonkerbonkers5496]

Dude you rock!!

[@costello345]

Love the video. Do you think I can use the same steps on Wilcom E3 or is slightly different. Thanks

[@RomeroThreads]

Should be the same concept w/ any software.

[@taraaustin2158]

Question. How did you save the file. Mine saved, but didn’t add the stops. So I had to manually stop the machine, after the first set of stitches and again to cut the fabric.

[@RomeroThreads]

You can change the colors and set your machine to stop after a color change.

[@jermainejackson1723]

How did you digitize the letters where the tack down stitching stitched all the letters first. I'm not to digitizing and I've been forced to do one letter at a time.

[@RomeroThreads]

You can sequence the letters as you want it to stitch if they are digitized separately. You can set it up w/ the placement stitch 1st, then the cut stitch, then the tack down then the satin stitch.

[@NancyLartey]

Great video! Where did you get the ruler that you use?

[@RomeroThreads]

Hello, I got the ruler online from Heat Press Nation. Its called "Line It Up Ruler"

[@lorenzocabrere]

Cutting the twill is the only reason why I came to this video low key

[@lorenzocabrere]

Really good video nonetheless 🙏

[@colincourier]

how

[@foundrylabz]

So you can only do the aplique with the digitizer version of hatch?

[@RomeroThreads]

Thats the only version Ive used. I haven't used the other ones.

[@taraaustin2158]

How’d you get the center out of the A

[@topstitchpro.9016]

hey man what's stick backing you used ? and why you hot pressed afterwards Thank you

[@RomeroThreads]

Thats Twill from Twill USA, it has an adhesive thats activated when heat pressed. It helps keep the fabric in tact.

[@topstitchpro.9016]

@@RomeroThreads Thank you.

[@albertberry7202]

What software do you use when you appliqué

[@RomeroThreads]

In this video I was using Wilcom Hatch 2, Now I use Wilcom Designing 4.5

[@ronf6]

Where did you get the twill?

[@RomeroThreads]

Twill USA

[@sydneysmith9341]

How did you get the design onto hatch?

[@RomeroThreads]

I loaded the font file to my computer then the font file should show up on hatch as a true type font.

[@pmm3884]

What type and size needle do I use for towels?

[@RomeroThreads]

75/11 ball point should be good.

[@sgmmaffe]

How did you cut out the letters between: 6:49 and 6:52. That's the only reason why i watched this movie and you remove it from footage :(

[@RomeroThreads]

I hand cut it with scissors. Making sure I cut close to the cut line.

[@sgmmaffe]

@@RomeroThreads i understand. I was hoping you would use a cutting machine fot the letters and then embroider... Anyway have a nice day :)

[@RomeroThreads]

Im currently working on that exact idea and method. I am creating a video on greek letters and using a cutter. Its dropping on Saturday.

[@quyyn7660]

How did you download the font to wilcom?

[@RomeroThreads]

You download it to your computers font folder. Da Font has instructions on how to load it to your computer.

[@simplydenene]

What size mighty hoop did you use?

[@RomeroThreads]

8"x13" mighty hoops

[@simplydenene]

Romero Threads Thank you. I love what you are doing

[@ShaziaRosay]

Awesome. Thank you

[@albertberry7202]

What software do you use to appliqué

[@sugardoe248]

It's hatch

[@vandieseldesigns]

where did you get the polka dot twill?

[@RomeroThreads]

I got it from Twill USA twillusa.com/product/fashion-fabrics/

[@yet-youngeducatedtalented2177]

How would I do this in Chroma Plus?

[@RomeroThreads]

I don't have Chroma but programs are very similar. If you can outline text then you can use that option to create your borders.

[@yet-youngeducatedtalented2177]

@@RomeroThreads ok I will try to find that command. I’ve been looking for it.
