Patch Embroidery From Start to Finish (Digitizing, Embroidery, Clean up) | Ricoma Embroidery Machine

[@dianebonds4485]

OK, I did follow up today and stitched a patch without the felt. Stitched it directly onto the cut away stabilizer just like Willie did in the video. Turned out just perfect. In fact, there was less push and pull to deal with. So, from now on, all of the patches I do that are totally covered with stitches will be done directly onto the stabilizer. Thanks Willie for saving me lots of money on premium felt!

[@ricomatv]

Great job!

Hello Willie: This is your adopted Mom. I loved your latest video. How did you use the lighter to clean up the circular outside edge and NOT burn the patch or your fingers. Also, how did you go from trim mode to sequence mode in the lower right hand corner?

[@ricomatv]

Hi there! Willy emailed you this response: As long as you’re using a thick stabilizer a lot of thread density and a big enough patch you should have the same outcome. you don’t wanna use any plastic or rubber materials because it could melt and/or shrink you also don’t need a lighter you can use a heat gun but I think that probably could burn so be careful. For the second question, you have to use a stitch tool on the selection box on the left of the screen. then you’ll notice the Trina will appear on the right side of the screen on the sequence area then you can then select the trims you don’t want to delete them. if you want to add a trim on all the different parts of the design you can go to the command box on the top right of the screen and select the end command as a trim.

How about giving the full software to people that purchase your machines instead of the payed demo version? Kind of a crappie feeling to not be able to fully utilize a machine that coast more then my truck because you guys want to get another $1,400 out of us. I'm trying to get started and don't have $1,400 just laying around and I hate the idea of having someone digitize for me. It's like buying a new car but the dealer ship only gave me a quarter of my key and now want me to buy the rest of it or just get an Uber. As a new customer and a beginner in embroidery this is a huge kick to the gut and really sets me back. Please for the sake of your customers just give us the full software with our machines.

[@ricomatv]

Hi there, thanks so much for your comment. Our machines also come with cap attachments, cap driver, starter kit, and unlimited support for the lifetime of your machine. Also, Chroma Inspire has a ton of interesting features, including auto-digitizing software. With Chroma we offer also offer free lifetime training and support and webinars 3x per week. In fact, most people stick with that tier for basic digitizing needs. You can always upgrade down the road as well. If you financed through synchrony you can finance an upgrade. If you upgrade to Plus it has a convert feature which makes everything so much easier. then you can upgrade to Luxe going forward !

[@neydanavarro8573]

I agree as well. They should sell us the Luxe or gives us an option to sell it to us instead of the free tickets to the convention center that we couldn’t attend. I’d prefer luxe than tickets

[@VanityFerret]

Am new to Ricoma, my EM1010 to arrive at end of the month. So am watching as many videos as possible before machine arrives. When you did the multiple run, wouldn't it have taken less time to have machine do one color for each patch multiple times? So say the yellow color sun, have the machine stitch each sun for each patch in the run before changing to the next color?

[@ricomatv]

Hi there, so a patch is a single design, and the design is digitized once. The digitized file is one sole patch, and to make multiple in one run you then duplicate the design on your hoop as many times as you want. But each design (patch) will finish itself since it is one file. So let's say you want one patch, it will embroider all the colors and then stop once the patch is done. If you want two patches, you set the machine to embroider two of the design, if you want three, you add another. The only way it would go through an do one color for all the patches first, is if you digitize a design that has multiple patches in it. However, that would mean you would never be able to embroider just one patch, you would have to embroider all the patches you created in your digitized file. I know it's a little complicated, but once you see how loading the file onto the computer works you'll understand.

[@bertaarayde1435]

Thank you, How long does it take to embroider this Patch in reel time

[@ricomatv]

Hi! It depends on how intricate the design is. For this particular patch around 15 minutes
