How to DIGITIZE 3D Puff Without Any Hassles

[@Dynamics556]

I understand a little more about the software. Love it easy to understand. I am a website developer so I am glad this software is friendly and easy use

[@ricomatv]

Great to hear! Thanks for watching!

[@amyhughes8739]

This was an awesome video. I do not have the Ricoma but your tips and tricks are wonderful. Thank you so much.

[@ricomatv]

We are so glad our tips helped, Amy!

[@dannythemusiciancrafter3280]

Hi! Aren't you suppose to capping the edges to cover the edges and to stop the thread unravelling?

[@Yshral]

yea I dont think they showed that part trying to make digitizing seem easy

[@tbzdezigns6113]

Just as helpful as him not mentioning it.

[@alondraflores3173]

and he is using chroma luxe so some of this features you won't find on chroma inspire :/

[@ricomatv]

The way this design was made did not require the use of caps. The embroidery ended with satin stiches coming to a point. If you have open ended satin stitches then you do need the caps to cut the foam.

[@kevinpeguero1176]

Great video! Have your ever embroidered 2mm puff on a trucker hat foam panel? If so, what tips/tricks do you have?!

[@ricomatv]

We've done some crazy projects with trucker hats and 3-d foam, check out our video where we do three layers of 2.5mm foam: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5OWlIWubMd1kJI&t

[@ShellyFreed-o5m]

Hello and thank you for this awesome video, it really helps. How do we correct the space left on the border of the yellow - it reflects under your finger at the end of video? If that happens again - what do we do to correct? Also, what needle should we use for this type of work? Again, thank you so much!

[@ricomatv]

Hi there, please send our customer service team an email so they can help > [e-mail]

[@leviteapparel]

This is fire I can't wait to get approved for financing so I can get this machine

[@ricomatv]

YES! We can't wait for your to get your own Ricoma either!

[@faychildress]

I understand more about how to get the embroidery to start and stop. I have PE Design 11 software and it is very different. I could not figure out how to make it do the things that I knew I needed to do the 3D puff. I hope to adapt this to my software. I wish my software was as easy to use as this one. Thank you for the tutorial.

[@CapricornDayz]

Hey Willie. Your videos are always so informative. Thanks. What size needle should be used for 3D puff? I'm on a single needle machine. I'm guessing it's 90/14 sharp?

[@ricomatv]

Hi Regina! You can use 75/11 needles and running their machine at 600

[@zehcnas1008]

Do you have to cap the ends? I noticed that you didn’t do that. Thanks for a great video.

[@ricomatv]

Hi Lillian, thanks for the suggestion, we will be sure to pass this down!

[@msabarez]

That's awesome video! Did you adjust the height of the needle for 3D portion? Thanks.

[@ricomatv]

Hi Mel! Check out this video in which we show how to do puff embroidery on hats. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iamopnaVZ5ilntk

[@heyyou4089]

Awesome vid! Super helpful. Can you explain a little about push and pull? I get what it’s for but how do you know what to set it at? Thanks!

[@ricomatv]

Sure thing! You can learn more about push and pull in this chroma digitizing video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmHJZpaapJiehck

[@kygoeken6075]

Push and pull is a way of thickening up a piece of artwork and adding overlap where there are split lines to prevent seeing the background or material behind the embroidery. Whatever the direction the stitches are going, if you add to the push/pull it will extend the length of the stitch thus covering the gaps I referred to. You can adjust it in increments of MM, or percentage.

[@redteamshirts]

Great video, but the front sides of the hat got squashed in a little bit.(just outside of your stitch. Left of the "t" and right of the "k") how do you prevent that?

[@ricomatv]

Hi! We recommend speaking with our customer service team so they can give you some tips/tricks to prevent that! ----->[e-mail]

hi willie im new to embroidery i bought mt em1010 last year and really havnt used it to much due to not n knowing how to really use it im learning though. what size of foam can i use for a 3D cap? thank u for this videos

[@ricomatv]

3mm thickness will work great

Hi there, we typically teach digitizing on our own software chroma, but you can find lots of cross over when it comes to the basics of digitizing. Perhaps our digitizing KZbin channel can help, you can check it out here: kzbin.infovideos

Get yourself pe design 10 or 11 it’s not hard to use and learn to use and many tutorials on KZbin for it

[@edvclothing9840]

Hello great video Did you change the speed once you put the foam and if, what is the speed you put the machine at thanks have a great day.

[@ricomatv]

No the speed auto adjusts when it’s doing jump stitches for the 3D part

[@edvclothing9840]

[@jamesjasiuk5428]

Can we please see you work with the TC-1501. It looks like most videos you do are with the MT 1501. I have the TC-1501 and it would be nice to see you using it in some of your videos. Thank you.

Will do! Thanks for the recommendation. for now make sure to check out some of our older videos, we have plenty projects using the TC 1501 kzbin.info/www/bejne/bH27h5yNltGmhbM&t

[@dreammaker2344]

So with this machine you don't need to add cap threads at the ends of each letter to do 3D puff?

[@ricomatv]

hi there, with our embroidery machine, once the design is loaded on the machine it will embroider automatically without stopping unless you add the stops to your design. for more help with 3d puff, you can contact our tech team, ricoma.com/us/tech-support

[@CreaTiffity-Sewing]

Do you have to put underlay under your puff?

[@ricomatv]

No. When doing puff, the underlay should be removed.

[@HarryPotter-dg5qw]

Goodnight! I am a ricoma customer and I recently acquired a TC 1501 here in Brazil. I would like to know how can I purchase the CHROMA program?

[@BarberGabesFades]

Is converting available only in luxe ? Or can you do it on inspire ?

[@ricomatv]

I do believe that those advanced features are only available in the higher tiers of Chroma. Sometimes it is easier to just manually lay the stitches down. Then you don't run into having to fix angle lines and the like.

[@LillianRamirez-c9h]

Can you use foam on the sides?

[@ricomatv]

Yes!

Hey Willie, How do you make your source files? I would be cool if you provided a file for use to follow along.

[@ricomatv]

That's a great idea! Thanks for the recommendation

[@lorenlopez4374]

Why my Ricoma machine brakes the thread frequently if I put the speed more than 300?

[@ricomatv]

That could be so many things: your thread path could be off, tension could be off, needle could be dull/burred, timing could be off etc.

It is important because the angle lines determined where the stitched are going to be placed. If you have too many of them it can create open spots on your embroidery.

Hi! You can use a standard 75/11 needle!
