How to Embroider Hats with Smartstich step by step.

[@williamclouse7646]

You’re a great instructor. It’s easy to learn from you.

[@laserengravingwithmatt]

Thanks

[@VinylSkillz]

When it comes to digitizing i had to learn it myself and do it. I started learning it even before the machine came!! I was ready...lol. But anyway Smartstitch is good so far.

[@ronnorris1504]

thanks for the viedo. Just wondering how you set tension on upper thread and how often?

[@laserengravingwithmatt]

Set and forget it. Once it is set I don’t touch it

[@samsanderson7159]

A buddy of mine bought a single needle to learn on and he bought the software and learned to digitize himself. That's probably the best way to go if you can. That way you don't have to depend on a third party. Maybe find one to just send an occasional job to when you are real busy. Real time, how long did that demonstration hat take?

[@laserengravingwithmatt]

I think you are right. Real time I think that one was 4 minutes

[@ninefingermining8694]

Awesome I’m looking into that machine thanks to you 👍trying to get my GF into a different profession I do laser & sublimation &epoxy why not add this to it all lol. I also do full time construction job

[@laserengravingwithmatt]

😃 your plate is full.

[@AbdulAzeez-qy3di]

This Is Good Actually, Absolutely Nice.

[@leviteapparel]

😂 I enjoyed every moment that was a great video I have an Embroidery machine myself.

[@laserengravingwithmatt]

😃

[@javicreates]

Have you ever tried sewing a patch on with that machine?

[@laserengravingwithmatt]

Yup 😃 today’s video

[@jessietorres1230]

How do you make sure the pic will be in center of the cap

[@laserengravingwithmatt]

The same way you frame your design on flats

[@annettepapa4099]

Hey Matt - Im having a hard time getting the machine to embroider closer to the brim. Its only getting about 1" above, which looks a little high to me. Do you have a trick or some advice?

[@laserengravingwithmatt]

Yup I will try to get the video done this week 😃

[@daphnepoat4276]

Do you have to flip the design, since the hat is on backwards?

[@laserengravingwithmatt]

Nope, soon as you put on that frame, it does it for you

[@samf5321]

What's the max width and height can the machine embroider using the cap driver?

[@laserengravingwithmatt]

I don’t know

[@callahanrustics5274]

Is there away to embroider the image closer to the bill?

[@laserengravingwithmatt]

Working on that 😃

[@mldown568]

how do you get rid off the a thread that is left from the cutter

[@laserengravingwithmatt]

A lighter

[@mldown568]

@@laserengravingwithmatt even on the outside of the hat?

[@laserengravingwithmatt]

Yes but you shouldn’t have much on the outside. Make sure you do a tension test.

[@johnhale9171]

Do you know what file type you have to use? PDF, SVG, jpeg, etc

[@laserengravingwithmatt]

DTS

[@LashondraLove]

Hi, do you have a video about embroidering in the side of a hat? or can you make one? Thank you!

[@laserengravingwithmatt]

Not yet 😃👍😉

[@LashondraLove]

@@laserengravingwithmatt Smartstitch made a video on it. Which made me realize I need a pocket hoop.

[@SOURPATCHKIDD1]

How long did it take you to pay it off?

[@laserengravingwithmatt]

For me first month but I had a list of clients

[@craigwilson9785]

Does the machine cut all the jump stitches?

[@laserengravingwithmatt]

Only if you make it when digitizing

[@bbhoustonbb6716]

What model are you using and where do you get your Richardson 112 trucker hats from?

[@laserengravingwithmatt]

Link is in the description and blank apparel

[@IsabelOrtega-p8e]

Does this machine comes with the threat??? And needles?

[@laserengravingwithmatt]

Yup and the hoops

[@laserengravingwithmatt]

I have a link in the description

[@IsabelOrtega-p8e]

Thank you!

[@LanceMcGrew]

I have the same machine and am still not convinced we will ever be able to produce small text. My dream is to achieve the level Land's End does.

[@craigwilson9785]

It’s hard to find reviews on this machine except for people who are sponsored by the company. These machines are a big purchase. Would love to get reviews from actual, independent buyers.

[@laserengravingwithmatt]

What is a lot of view out there? I should know because I researched for eight months before I decided to work with them. I chose them. I hunted them down. I wanted to work with them because it is worth it. Customer service is worth it. They set up a Facebook account and walk you through everything. I have never done anything like this before and they helped me get going right away. If you watch any of my videos, you’ll know I don’t lie to you. I’m open and honest 100% every video.

[@MorenabellasCraftyCasa]

Hi Matt! Where do you buy your caps?

[@laserengravingwithmatt]

Sometimes from amazon and blank apparel. Whoever is cheaper

[@MorenabellasCraftyCasa]

@laserengravingwithmatt7833 thank you!

[@Pokédad720]

S&sactivewear has a lot too

[@heathercozby8052]

Curiou why you removed Zayn from digitizer in comments. I used him based on your review. Happy with 3 files, but if you have other recommendations, please post them.

[@laserengravingwithmatt]

I have a new one I will be posting soon

[@RickSwartwood]

Unfortunately these machines are all sold out. Both Amazon and product website

[@laserengravingwithmatt]

They are in stock today 😃

[@CastleHives]

Looks great Matt. .

[@bruceparker5377]

Try JJ Digitizing

[@laserengravingwithmatt]

Thanks

[@bruceparker5377]

I guess I should give little more information. We have been using them then 2017. If there is a problem, they fix it, with no problems, until it meets your expectations. We have been very pleased with them. My wife does embroidery, I do leather work, and laser engraving, and cutting out things to put together with the laser. My wife is a perfectionist when it comes to her embroidery. I was curious if you sew over the seem on the front of the hat, or just on the sides of the seam? Love your video's. @@laserengravingwithmatt

[@massachusettsprepper]

Hey Matt just sent you an email with an awesome digitizer.

[@laserengravingwithmatt]

Got it thanks. 😊
