A 18 yr embroidery veteran here. Always test on actual fabric vs backing, you won’t get the same results on just backing. I know installers techs say to use backing but it’s always better to use real fabric.

[@psaprez]

This. 100% all the time

[@boldclothing2619]

Fact.

[@boldclothing2619]

Smart idea! Def going to try it.

[@Edwin7397]

Awesome Buddy keep it up. I'm loving the content it keeps me inspired

[@MichiganderGirl]

Excellent example of what to do for small lettering. Looks Awesome!

[@leestuart38]

Thanks! Love learning new stuff like this

[@Smallbore2wheels]

Little Jimmy our here kicking ass and taking names

[@SCUUBDO]

You are so right, Lee. Thinner thread, and I use titanium needles.

[@sunrisetacticalgear2676]

Great results happen when you have a great machine and a Great digitizer!!

[@leestuart38]

Absolutely. Both are huge factors

[@Jolsen002]

You are still our hero.

[@OscarGarcia-sl7nl]

Hi Lee, Madeira is a really good embroidery thread for your Tajima machine.

[@nicholaswood692]

Lee, straight knowledge as usual. ❤❤🤘🤘

[@nickhanscome]

Proud of all your success Lee! From Harleys to custom goods it's been a fun ride!

[@leestuart38]

I appreciate that man!

[@kellysmith5521]

Love the 60wt suggestion! Great work-around!

[@leestuart38]

It's a great tool to have

[@Tim.McElheny]

Really looking forward to more embroidery content. Thank you for posting! I had a very similar job last month on an independent flannel. The thinner thread and needle worked out great for the tiny text and small flying birds in the design.

[@pinda0020]

Another super clean video, love your work ethic.

[@Dillyo82]

Good to see you progressing on “Little Jimmy” lol. Can you imagine doing an order for 3000 bucket hats on just one head? That was us 3 years ago! Lol. Now we have 13! Tajima baby!

[@leestuart38]

You're an animal. I did 300 pieces on the single head at 20k stitches each...took a month 😂. I ordered my 6 head after that

[@justintietz4477]

Look into putting solvy ontop when you are doing small lettering. It helps alot, its also water soluble so you can clean it right off.

[@leestuart38]

I tried it on these and it didn't make a difference. This fabric is pretty stable

[@ParsonsDesigns]

Nailed it bro!👊 100% correct, smaller needle smaller thread great work.

[@leestuart38]

Thanks man. Slowly learning the embroidery game

[@ParsonsDesigns]

@@leestuart38 well you off to a GREAT start!

[@sandersakkee9284]

Absolutely awesome, nothing more to say. Done........... ow wait, HE's KILLING IT.

[@leestuart38]

Thanks man 👊🏻

[@leviteapparel]

Amazing you Killin it 🔥

[@ttowntshirts]

Good stuff man. Embroidery has been a great addition to my Tshirts company also.

[@mineral520]

Amazing work as always. a note specifically on the video, i think you nailed the audio you had during the embroidery. if that means anything. i don't know. it seemed right.

[@leestuart38]

I appreciate it. It's always a lot of work to get the audio sounding right in these things, especially in this loud and echoey shop

[@KillbarrackShoppingCentre]

Sup from Ireland , Great to see you back Lee

[@leestuart38]

Good to be back 👊🏻

[@theblankworkshop]

dope embroidery thanks for showing us the 40weight vs the 60 weight.

[@leestuart38]

The difference is so huge

[@chico7340]

New Lee vid -> shittt gonna be a Screenprinting tuttorial/content -> embroidery vid -> old video marathon on the way 😂

[@x-patdynamic7397]

Good job my mentor

[@gotza627]

Really cool!!!!

[@MeFixingEverything]

Thanks 🙏

[@inkingsink]

Lol - Canadian Dinner Jacket... nice.!

[@Innercityprintshop]

That rouge hat is fire!

[@leestuart38]

There's a few different versions of it in the online store! 🤘🏻

[@edgarrivera532]

hey @lee stuart just try adding wash away top on your 60wt embroidery. it just will made it better. but over all it looks great. look always amazing work Lee

[@leestuart38]

Thanks man. I actually tried that on a second run of these a week after I shot the video. The flannel is a pretty sturdy material so the topping didn't make any difference

[@Darkhollowscreenprinting]

Greta job. The beats are so cool in this video haha. The light and laser on little Timmy is that factory?

[@leestuart38]

Thanks! The lights and laser are all factory equipped stuff. It's a really well done machine

[@nigelgarysmith7488]

[@HoopMaster-MightyHoop]

Great content!

[@leestuart38]

Thanks! 🤘🏻

[@user-de4hp1hm6f]

Good info brother. You got a digitising program yet? Setting the start position to bottom centre of the logo will make getting the same distance above the pocket easier

[@JulieAlbert-ow5uz]

Love your videos! Who is your digitizer? We are looking for a new one.

[@crackshotscreenprinting]

you'd be good wearing that as a dinner jacket in Kentucky as well. LMAO

[@leestuart38]

A place of great taste 😂

[@VinaykanthK]

Sample on the backing paper always looks different because of pull/push compensation and that’s why samples should always be done on intended fabrics. And also please be careful with needle bar shaft they are very weak on all the models with DCP. I have already broken 3 of them with very minor impact

[@BJCampbell]

How would that design look with puff? On the Hat or flannel to give it slight depth?

[@mitchjr6518]

Who do you use for you digitizing?

[@bigmaxxxthemountainhustler5257]

❤❤❤

[@teesprintandapparel]

anyone ever use embroidered adhesive in a flannel? looking for other options since I do not have an embroidery machine to put on flannels

[@leestuart38]

Heat press adhesive works ok, but it doesn't last over time. It's usually good for about 50-60 washes

[@101lager]

What speed do you normally run your hats at?

[@leestuart38]

Anywhere in the range of 700-800spm is the sweet spot in my opinion

[@kearnsarosa]

Loved how the flannel shirt turned out. What software are you using for the digitizing? We use Wilcom Hatch and I fucking hate it.

[@leestuart38]

I don't do my own digitizing just yet. I have pulse but I haven't used it yet

[@joseph3700]

Does the digitizing need to be different for the 60wt & size 9 needle?

[@joseph3700]

Or was it just to program a colour change into it?

[@leestuart38]

The digitizing will need to be set up for 60w

[@joseph3700]

@@leestuart38 okay thanks!

[@matthewenderle8880]

Yes. 60wt is only 80% the width of 40wt. So you need to increase density up 120%.

[@joseph3700]

@@matthewenderle8880 thanks!

[@mrjonnyjones]

IMO the hat looked dope, the flannel seemed... misplaced? As if they needed to use a different colour-way or something. Either way, nice job dude!

[@leestuart38]

Anytime there's a pattern involved that sort of happens, it's the negative space in the design. Some like it and some don't

[@mrjonnyjones]

@@leestuart38 That's exactly it dude, it's how the negative space is filled 👌🏻

[@burr028]

Where is the thread from?

[@leestuart38]

Link and discount code are in the video description

[@domtoretto9240]

How much one of those machines cost?

[@leestuart38]

Not a simple answer since there are a bunch of factors involved with these machines. I have a review video on this machine coming out in 2 weeks that goes over it

[@lukasstahl5979]

Where’s your 6 head?;)

This was shot before it got here
