[@lynnettebraye1319]

Thank you so much, you're a embroidery saver! Since I'm new to this what is the best embroidery font to stitch on a hat when it comes to adding names on a hat? Love your tutorials! ❤

[@BoricuaSewingCrafts]

Hi Lynnette. You can use any font as long as it fits within the embroidery area.

[@jessieschlee3473]

You should talk about what needles you need to do quilting or embroidering different materials like cloth vs baseball cap. Also how do you change your thread in the middle of an embroidery project if you run out.

[@BoricuaSewingCrafts]

Hi Jessie. During the Happy Hour videos I refer folks to the following document. This document is really handy. Recommend printing it out and keeping it near. It will tell you what needle size and stabilizer to use for a particular type of fabric. www.emblibrary.com/el/elprojects/pdf/pr1153.pdf When running out of thread in the middle of embroidering. I cut the thread, put in the new spool, back stitch about 10 spots and then continue with the embroidery.

[@jonfulfer9501]

I love the way you cover the details and show all the steps in your video. The hoops you use look like they might work on PE800 machine. I am especially interested in the hat hoop. Will it work on a BE800 embroidery machine? If so, where would I get one? Thanks, Linda

[@BoricuaSewingCrafts]

Hi Linda. Yes the Hat hoop will definitely work on the PE800. I got it from an Etsy Shop named Hat Hoop. If you send them a message and tell them you want a hat hoop for the PE800 they will make sure you order the right one. Their products are awesome and great quality. I brought it over two years ago and it is still in great condition!

[@D.A_BearsToday]

Very helpful video and your embroidery turned out great! My only concern is the creases now on the front of the hat. Any useful tips to avoid this ?

[@BoricuaSewingCrafts]

Hi Daniel. You just have to be careful on how you hold down the hat. I don't notice the creases turning permanent. I can always smooth them out. You can always look at different material hats. Some hats are softer.

[@dles2510]

Hello, I really enjoyed the video. I am new to embroidery and this was very helpful. Do you know if I could use snapback baseball hats or fitted hats with this machine or would the hats be too big?

[@BoricuaSewingCrafts]

Hi D Les! Yes you can do those hats on this machine as well. I do them all the time. It's the same method. Enjoy your machine and have fun learning to embroider!!!

I ordered the Hat Clip from DIME $29, for the 5x7 magnetic hoop. I forgot I don’t have any magnetic hoops for the se1900 yet - only the Destiny2. Oops. Lol. Will try and get the one you have. Thanks for listing the name/location.

[@BoricuaSewingCrafts]

Hi Beverly. Yes the hat hoop is replaces the inside portion of the hoop. I am not sure if this would work on the luminaire. I'm sure that they have some type of hat hoops that work on your machine. I would google and look around youtube to see if someone has a video doing a hat on that particular machine.

[@BoricuaSewingCrafts]

I just updated the video description and included the link to the hat hoop.

[@idakelsey8682]

Thanks for this video. Received the hat hoop for Xmas. Followed along with the video. Only issue I have is after the last stitch of each color the machine moves the needle out further than the edge of the design and then back to where the next color is to start. The foot gets stuck on the edge of the brim and frame and there is a gear grinding noise that totally messes up where center is. I work around by resetting up position and stitch count to where I need it to start. Is there a way to get the machine to move to the next color start without that big move? I am using the hat hoop setting. I don’t want to mess up my machine!

[@BoricuaSewingCrafts]

You have to make sure to flatten out the hat as much as possible. This is easier to do with unstructured hats. Structure hats are more challenging.

[@idakelsey8682]

@@BoricuaSewingCrafts Thank you for the quick response. Maybe if I don’t push the brim of the baseball hat in so far I won’t have to move the design so low. I had the design area flat but see that need to flatten quite a lot more. I love your video’s as a new embroiderer. Most helpful that we have the same machine.

Now I know there is no money to be made in embroidering ball caps on a regular home embroidering machine. It just takes to long using the hoop. It took about 1 hour to complete.
