Don't forget to enroll here to receive the FREE embroidery patch design 🙂 www.digitizingmadeeasy.com/custom-embroidery-patches/

[@keisha2009ish]

I paid for the course you have now provided for free. I do not understand.

[@EmbroideryLegacy]

The live webinar which was paid, include patch designs as well bonus designs that are not available for those watching the rewatch.

[@ssisters4343]

I do love the history. Please keep it in the videos. Some people have no patience. The history is so important! Thank you to you and your family!

[@PunchingEmbroideryWorld-zy2en]

I appreciate you giving the history! I adore learning about your family's past.

[@vegasheat71]

The history is how we get to where we are, and has an insight to where we will be in the future. No one should be upset when your sharing such a very interesting part of this industry. Love these videos. I hope to improve in my embroidery after your course.

[@Pennywise130]

I loved hearing all about the family history in embroidering. Thank you !

[@cosmiccorner2070]

Thank you so much for this webinar! 😊 I've just had a customer ask me to make him some velcro patches, so it's been very helpful! Also I had some feedback lately about my outer edges not being perfect and now you've given me loads of ideas on how to finish my patches more professionally. I bought my first embroidery machine, your 'Digitizing Made Easy' book and applique DVD back in 2012. I'm now working full time as an embroiderer working on a multi-headed Happy Japan machine and digitize patches in my spare time for the love of it, which has started to bring in some much needed extra cash. Your knowledge has literally changed my life for the better! Thank you so much for your inspiration, you are the number one Guru of digitizing and embroidery! 🥰

[@SewCool-Ideas]

I love watching your videos! The story behind the man…it’s really cool! Thanks for teaching and share your legacy with us!

[@hannahberylann]

So funny, I live in the UK, not too far from John Deere tractors. When I first heard your name, I was confused - I was talking about embroidery and I thought the other person was talking about tractors ha ha ha. Brilliant tutorial - thank you x

[@2009grumpybeans]

heehee me too, I think of tractors when I hear the name :D (and have seen the business near Thame)

[@davisdesign100]

I loved hearing the history of this business.

[@sunshinehowells9845]

If you came here, looking for patch embroidery tutorial. Skip to at least 25 unless you want a history lesson first

[@urcooldavidson6643]

I took this course when it was given and my patches have come out perfect. John's instruction is so good.

[@ualawaridi7956]

" Let's stay on course here...."😂...Thank you for sharing and making me laugh.

[@brigitte2714]

This is best video on making patches. I've been watching other tutorials and they never go into details. Clear instructions and someone who's been in the embroidery business for years. I love how you talked about the machine your grand parents used in the beginning. Looking forward to learning so much more from you.

[@AntonioFardella]

Thank you for making this webinar public.

[@jessicatexasjh]

Thank you for sharing the history!! I love hearing your families history.

I'm now watching this video & loved the history! Thanks for sharing . . .

[@thesimplyspoiled1]

What a wealth of knowledge you are. Thank you for sharing it and your light with the world! I’ll be purchasing my first embroidery machine soon. And I’ll be ready! :) (And if I decide to buy Hatch at any level I will ensure I do it through your company) 💕

[@monkeygirlgachaclub712]

I enjoyed your seminar very much. I have been making patches for motorcycle clubs and a few other organizations. other than the marrow edge I came close to a home run. Will be checking out more

[@rodneyzeedyk8337]

Thanks for another great learning event. I appreciate the detailed explanation you provide and various methods.

[@ShaynaKrause]

Awesome video, I loved it!

i enjoyed teh history part.

[@saraalicea3363]

Thanks so much, I appreciate it very much ♥️👋

[@EmbroidPrintNow]

Good job, but you can use a 6mill plastic. That is what I use, and it works. Just remove the plastic from the back before you press the iron adhesive. Good luck ❤❤❤.

[@herbieherbert912]

Very useful information thanks

[@nancydawson252]

Hello from Virginia

[@tutorialfilmbordirvsamalan4811]

nice sir, good luck. greething from indonesia sir

[@knitfix_S]

I can't really picture how those huge machines worked. Do you know of any video material about them? I find it extremely fascinating to understand the evolution of embroidery. Thank you for sharing this

[@muslim_kummaembroiderydesi3986]

Dear sir Thanks you for good information video

[@wordofknowledgeknowledge8526]

Hello sir, to you and your family. I know this is kind of a late response, but I want to thank you guys for the template of the circle. I was trying to find someone talking about the size of patch and how to create it to look nice. I can't afford software right now so Im trying to learn ink stich, though it would be nice for a military discount . lol thank you again.

[@pedroromero6231]

Amazing video! very helpful. where can I buy the prep patch film?

[@danstankatungi7915]

Thank you for this opportunity. Could be having any leads to all this equipment. I need to purchase one complete set.

[@tracyrutherford6089]

Thank you so much for sharing amazing store of your family history and your embroidery Legacy. I'm not always satisfy my embroidery work and it's helpful to improve my embroidery work. I joined the class yesterday and watch the videos at night. where should I go to purchase those patch shape files? Or have to be a member to able to access it?

[@eliassmith6103]

We hope you are doing good John 💙

[@laneebee7572]

Thank you. Very informative. I am wondering why you cut the patch shapes before hand? i only made 2 so far but I put thicker fabric right on the hoop as i was making it, Then cut it out after(with WS) also what do you recommend for the iron on part on the back? THANKS!

[@Angeliques2cents]

I purchased the files during your webinar. Is it possible for you to create larger size patches for those of us that have customers who need bigger size patches?

[@DarkDekieon]

Hello, I am new to hatch and trying to learn. How to do you set it up in hatch so that it will pause after you lay down the initial outline stitch, or do I have to stop the machine manually when I need to pull the design off the machine for a minute?

[@romancingthestrand8242]

Hi John.. Great class!!! What brother cutting machine are you using and would you recommend that one or a different one? Thank you.

[@artisticstudio-rosewang]

Thank you for video but i have question How can I digitize patches use this program.

[@andreab4386]

I've been playing with patches and trying to find an appropriate font to use for text and numbers on a patch. These would be for medical alerts and contact information. So far all the Hatch fonts I've tried to sample stitch out look yucky on a 3" patch. Is this a density issue or font issue? Do you have favorite fonts for patches you recommend? I appreciate you. I've learned so much over the past month!!

[@jessiegibson9023]

Good livethanks

[@mixedchocolite]

Question What do u as to the back when you want to add the patch to like a hat or something

[@livingthenanalife9943]

Thank you for the video. When using water soluble stabilizer do you remove the stabilizer from the back of the patch prior to adding the post patch film?

[@EmbroideryLegacy]

I would suggest removing it, although if it is dry it might not matter.

[@livingthenanalife9943]

@@EmbroideryLegacy thank you for the speedy reply

[@nadinebarksdale]

Are you going to offer the patch bundle again anytime soon?

[@fiammaxd]

Hi, I was only able to see the circle patch file for free download. Is the square outline also available?

[@sandymay1597]

Can any of the products used, can they be ordered from Australia? I really like the patch film product.

[@jerryaultz2197]

[@christinerutherford3462]

John what type of soldering iron are you using

[@7franciney]

How or where do I get the bundle of design for patches?

[@kathleenhamel8512]

What is the product called tacking patch

[@NonCompliantCyborg]

For your buckram backed Poly Twill, what Hatch Autofabric settings do you recommend?

[@EmbroideryLegacy]

The default “cotton” would work fine. Not much distortion as the fabric is so stable.

[@IzludeTingel]

anyone out there using inkscape inkstitch? what can i do to get that edging stitch on the round patches?

[@diannesalazar2420]

Is this still available?

[@yolandaliebenberg5417]

Will the pre-patch not melt when you put the post patch on?

[@EmbroideryLegacy]

They fuse together.

[@missskeetchie]

I can not find the files anywhere, I registered, looking in classroom under everything and nothing there :(

[@EmbroideryLegacy]

Sorry for the inconvenience, contact us and we’ll be happy to get you sorted :) www.digitizingmadeeasy.com/contact-us/

The background music when you are doing the actual demo is really distracting.

No, the post patch will iron on to most materials.

[@GoldenRvr]

hello Sir Im ready to purchase the full version and want to start my flex pay today. I'm on SSI and my $ gets deposited in my bank account on the 3rd of every month. My concern is that the system may want to take the $99. earlier than the 3rd and it will lead to overdraft CHARGES on my end . I cant afford that on my fixed income. Please advise??????

[@Fallbaskets]

This is John's website. Remember you can download and use software free for 30 days to see if it is something you like. Purchasing through this site allows you all the free bonuses Johns gives away. The site will direct you to Wilcom the owner of the software, John is just a distributor and a teacher of the software. After Wilcom notifies John of your purchase 3 or 4 days later you will get the bonuses he offers. Hope that helped.

[@ChiraqVet]

I really want this program to digitize but its way to expensive. The free trial is great tho, i like it, seems simple to work with just still alot to learn. Any ideas on software that dont cost $1000 or more. Dont yall know that covid made us poe lol.

[@pattybosley6392]

Hi

[@yomomma6919]

Since you made this paid for class free so we can make patches correctly, is the patch template available to everyone as well? I have searched for the link and am unable to find the free patch frames. If they are not free, can you please provide a link to where they can be obtained? Thanks.

[@EmbroideryLegacy]

Yes, we put the class up for free. To ensure those who did pay, the patterns mentioned were free for paid attendees.

[@richyjames1378]

I wish my designs would turn out ok, i pay month for hatch, i digitise a design ... then sew it out ... it looks brilliant on the screen ... but when i sew it out the inside falls short of the Saturn stitch ... unless i do it on leatherette or something that doesnt stretch ... i think hatch needs to look at its program, it should sew whats on the screen and do away with all this pull comp crap

[@valeriewarren9094]

Nothing wrong with program watch lindees hints and tips l download the ones l need refer to as l am learning as well how long did it take to learn ride bike

[@EmbroideryLegacy]

Have you tried our free Challenge? You’ll follow along 7 bite-sized video lessons and create 6 designs yourself from start to finish! I'm sure you will start to see better results with the tips taught in this course. Like Valerie said it's like learning to ride a bike, it takes time to master digitizing :) One step at a time. www.digitizingmadeeasy.com/embroidery-digitizing-challenge/

[@1packatak]

It is not just the design. You must select the proper stabilizer and needle for your fabric. And you need to hoop your fabric correctly. Look up “pretensioning your hoop” for how to hoop properly. Both John and Lindee have videos on that. Then google videos on how to select stabilizers and needles. Floriani and OESD, as well as a few other companies have excellent videos on proper stabilization. Also remember stabilizer is specifically for embroidery. And interfacing is for sewing. They are not interchangeable. Needles are available that are specifically designed for the fast speeds of embroidery. They come in a sharp for cotton and other stable fabric, and ball point for knits. Also use thread designed for embroidery. And bobbin thread that is also for embroidery. Make sure your bobbin is wound properly. If your upper thread and bobbin are correct, you should automatically have perfect tension. This will help you really get excellent quality designs.
