Beautiful.

[@romesreviews3389]

Thanks for the content and new new to embroidery and digitizing . Thanks for sharing all the valuable experience you have . With these old eyes and being unfamiliar with the verbiage it would help me follow along if you would enlarge and highlight the cursor/ arrow so I’m not always playing catch-up . Much success in all you do ….

What size is that stabilizer

[@ryanc2343]

Hi what fabric is the pink fabric?

[@ritavalerius6541]

Love your tutorials! Can you tell me where you purchase your twill fabrics and what type of adhesive is on the twill in your video? Thanks in advance!

[@RomeroThreads]

I use Pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA). twillusa.com/tackle-twill/

Good video thanks

Definitely the hardest part of the work is this. Especially when doing keepsakes when mothers want their baby clothes to be embroidered in the appliqué. The better one if you’re going to use iron is using a cricut to cut it to the exact. That helps too. Unfortunately, using a cricut to cut fabric is still difficult.

Hello, how close do you sew to the inner edge of your mighty hoops? e.g. 4.25 has a sewing field of 4" edge to edge of material that shows. is 3/8" cutting it a bit fine.. I was told it should be ok, but when I do my tracing, I am scared that the needle shaft on my ZSK will hit the side. In wilcom, my design is 8.2cm wide and the stitch field is 11cm. It looks good in the software, but as, said, I am scared to risk it. I have tried t look for guidence on the internet but could not find anything. Do you have guidelines or a link to htis info. Many thanks.

I have a question do you sell design

[@kaylingapac7541]

My sweatshirts keep leaving a bad hoop burn with the mighty hoop. I’ve tried a ton on tricks and can’t get them out. Any suggestions ?

[@lynetterhoads6284]

Can you use fusible poly mesh instead of cut away for the back?

[@RomeroThreads]

Yes, but since the thread count can be high, you do have a chance of puckering. Im not too concern with cutaway on sweaters since over time the cutaway will slowly get soft and blend in with the sweater.

[@lynetterhoads6284]

Ok thank you!

[@LydiaAmezola-nb3tq]

I love your videos!!!! What kind of sweater you are using and from what company?

Where did you get your angle scissors that you use to cut the appliqué? I have a little set, but would like to have a bigger pair.

Do you wash your shirts (pre-shrink) before you embroider and sell them to customers?

[@RomeroThreads]

No I don’t wash them.

Is there a way on chroma to make a cut file for your applique?

[@RomeroThreads]

There should be. I have to check. Thanks for stopping by!

[@etiennecustoms]

What size hoop are you using in this video, also would this be ideal for adult size or kids size?

[@RomeroThreads]

Im using the 10x19 hoop.

[@RomeroThreads]

This is for adult size.

[@etiennecustoms]

Ok thank you for helping, you have no ideal how much your videos help me with embroidery.😊

[@RomeroThreads]

Thank you, I do appreciate your comment!!

[@wolfgang7042]

Hey Master Romero. Can you used your MT_1501 every day? For 5 hours with out having any issues?

[@RomeroThreads]

Yes, we do it all the time. When I go past 4 hours, I’ll change my thread #’s so Im not using the same needles.

[@wolfgang7042]

Tanks for the info man. Love all the tips you gave to beginners like me. To me you are a professional bro Keep it up the exelente work.

[@Ruben_Vargas]

Thanks for the tips! I've been thinking about using a co2 laser to cut the appliqué instead of scissors but hardly see anyone do it. Why is that? I would remove the mightyhoop, and place it directly into the work area of the machine and kiss-cut it out with a camera positioning. Thoughts on this?

[@mallorycote5377]

I use a laser to cut my appliques. I love how clean and simple it is. I just run an outline stitch and then place the applique with a temporary spray adhesive and then run a tack down stitch and if needed a border satin stitch. Works great. Even on patches.

[@nancydumas2906]

Could use a cricut or scan n cut

[@aldel3342]

You know many ways to do this but have taken the time to show us the basics. Enjoy your videos. Wish I had this when I received my machine.

[@Ruben_Vargas]

@@mallorycote5377 what laser and settings do you use? If you don't mind me asking?

[@mallorycote5377]

@Ruben_Vargas depends on the fabric. For tackle twill with adhesive backing, I used speed 190 Power 50. I have an 80 watt Boss laser.

Ever I have a question. I am going to be embroidering a Logo on the back of a zippered hooded sweatshirt. What is the proper location? Especially when the hood in the back hangs down? I’d really appreciate your professional advice. Thank you.🥰

[@RomeroThreads]

I would place it perfectly lined up below the hood. That way it doesn’t get covered up when the hood is down. But make sure it’s not too low.

[@allisonholloway833]

@@RomeroThreads Thank you so much.🥰

[@allisonholloway833]

@@RomeroThreadsHi Ever. I have another question.I just stitched out the logo on the back of the hooded zippered sweatshirt. I used a mighty hoop and when I was done the mighty hoop left a hoop burn😖. I didn’t think the magnetic hoops did that. Has it happened to you? And if yes, how do you get rid of them? I have 9 more to do. Thank you again for your help🥰

[@RomeroThreads]

Hello, anytime Ive had hoop burn, it goes way, it doesn’t stay permanent. Maybe you can use a damp towel and slightly rub it if it doesn’t go away.

[@allisonholloway833]
