[@pattygarver2830]

It's been a minute since you started, have you figured out some digitizing? White thread on dark colors is always tricky! When possible I will lay down some tear away backing underneath the white to get the look of "enough thread" without adding so much extra underlay and density. Nice video, at least you've got that part down! I've been running Melco's for 15 years and this is, hands down, the funniest/best video I have seen for a beginner embroiderer. Best of luck to you Lee.

Great video.I was waiting to see how you did your first time. I have had my machine attack itself, sew parts of things together that didn't get out of the way and made many bobbin bird nests!! I highly recommend testing each design on scraps. Oh and I would absolutely love a cap machine!

Hi Donna, pay a little more and get your logo ''punch'' by a professionnal. Then, your machine will sew correctly without jumping stitches. You can broke your machine with cheap logo so pay attention.

[@1981muldo]

I just re-watched this and caught the bit about the presser foot. No adjustment needed. The closer to the bill you get the less ‘movement’ there is in the cap (less flagging) as you’re close to where it’s locked in by the strap. If you loosen the presser foot you’ll lose the pressure you need elsewhere. The marks are easily dismissed with a hit of steam. Two or three seconds will do it. (Also works on hoop marks left on flat items as well....called hoop burn).

[@leestuart38]

Sweet, I'll have to try that out. Thanks man!

[@studiovulcan4411]

Lee, are you still doing stuff like this now in the new setup or plan to? Would love to know what your opinions on embroidery is like having had time since this video.

[@FlippingWealthy]

Lee, Glad to see you finally got it up and running since we last spoke. Its funny seeing all the damn mistakes you made. Same shit that I went through when I first got my EMT16. If you want here are a few tips and advice coming from someone who has gone through all the headaches of it. 1. Check out and invest in Mighty Hoops. They will make your life so much easier when it comes to Embroidery on Flat Items Yes its costly as shit but saves you the headache an frustration from their plastic hoops that dont line up perfectly for a Front LC or Sleeve or whatever you are embroidering on. 2. Try out a different Cap Hoop. The Hoop you have is the standard, however there is an upgraded version that is about $400 from Melco that is really worth the money and I find that it secures the cap much better and it doesn't shift on you. 3. If you plan on learning to digitize, Melco's digitizing software that you can upgrade to is great, however there is an embroidery software that is 1/3 of the price called DRAWINGS XI. Its a great program and you can pretty much do anything the melco software offers. Pretty much can turn any Vector into an embroidery file with the push of a button and edit it as needed. Once you have one embroidery machine you will learn quickly that one is definitely not enough, especially when the orders keep coming in and you want to get some sleep lol. I hope these tips help, and im happy to share the tricks of the trade. Good luck on your business journey. Happy to see the new things you are adding to your shop.

[@leestuart38]

Thanks a lot man. I've already got a little mighty hoops setup going, video on that coming soon. As far as digitizing, they sent me design shop pro 10 with my machine so I've got the tools, just need to learn 🤘🏻

[@uriel11ful]

I would use Wilcom embroidery studio for digitizing. I wouldn’t use anything else. It’s a very pricey software but worth it as you will have more control. But if you can find a good digitizer I would outsource and just use the software to make tiny tweaks.

[@leestuart38]

I'll have to check that out. I've got design shop pro 10 for now, I plan on getting into that soon

By all means start the digitizing journey but do. not. rush. If you’ve got a really good digitizer, great...just keep using them for now. (Hint: if they called you in the first place....they’re not a good digitizer.) digitizing is a get-what-you-pay-for deal. I’m nearly three years in and I still use both outside and self digitizing. It’s a balance between available time and production needs.

Would you consider outsourcing digitizing?

[@md.shahjalal5409]

are you looking for a digitizer?

I wouldn't waste the decent ones or the decent shirts, sell them as misprints to recoup some of the cost.

[@leestuart38]

Costs aren't everything, that's just a short term solution. Building a brand based on quality product means everything out there with your name on it has to be quality, no exceptions. Those costs will recoup themselves 10x in the long run by doing it this way

[@newerahopefamily3837]

@@leestuart38 never thought of it that way, I too have a apparel brand and we have top quality products and packaging. I’ve been checking out your videos because our warehouse was producing things too slowly so we switched to manually doing things. It’s been a learning curve so we have some waste as you have, we thought about selling misprints but what you said makes a good point. Thanks
