The Do's & Don'ts of Digitizing for Embroidery

[@ricomatv]

What are some digitizing do's you recommend? Comment some below!

[@Nexus_619]

Spent the last 2 months researching embroidery and digitizing in particular and I think I’m ready to pull the trigger on a Ricoma machine.

[@ricomatv]

We are so glad to hear this! Please let us know if you need any help :)

[@richardlfd135]

Do your research before making a decision you may regret.

[@gremlin7900]

Practice with some designs you enjoy, but keep it simple till you get the hang of it, then ask a few friends for fun ideas that would make no sense and do them any way. You might stumble on a new idea or issue that will be random but helpful. I got sent a cat meme and asked about waffles, the picture was dark so I had to spend extra time redesigning the image to fit a quality that was printable and then the words to fit into my 4x4. was a fun challenge of sorts but after 5 hours on Hatch 3 I'm confident in almost any simple designs.

whats a good density for fill stitches in mm? and for satin stitches?

[@ricomatv]

Hi! For fill stitches: -A common range for fill stitch density is around 5 to 12 stitches per inch (SPI). -For lighter fabrics or more intricate designs, you may want to use a higher density (e.g., 8 to 12 SPI). -For heavier fabrics or simpler designs, a lower density (e.g., 5 to 8 SPI) may suffice. For satin stitches: -Satin stitches, being a type of decorative stitch used for outlining or detailing, typically have a higher density than fill stitches. -A typical range for satin stitch density is around 7 to 15 stitches per inch (SPI). -Satin stitches with higher densities (e.g., 12 to 15 SPI) result in smoother and more solid lines, ideal for fine details or lettering. -Lower densities (e.g., 7 to 10 SPI) can be used for broader satin stitches but may appear less smooth and solid.

Im not a ricoma customer.i already bought a machine .now i recently came to know ur channel.is it possible for non ricoma customers to learn this ?

[@ricomatv]

Of course! Plenty of have that

[@yundaz]

I would like to know if its possible to do embroidery on a thick yarn with a large gauge and see the capabilities of the software and a real test result.

[@ricomatv]

The largest needle you can use on our machines is a size 90. Thick Yarn will not work if it cannot pass through the eye of the needle.

[@stayfocuseddi]

[@queenakinlaja]

Hello sir I bought 2 recommended from you but don't know how to start

[@ricomatv]

[@cptsquish]

Why would one need to choose a jump stitch over a trim stitch?

[@ricomatv]

Choosing a jump stitch over a trim stitch helps maintain design continuity, protect delicate fabrics, speed up production, ensure a cleaner backside, and reduce the risk of threads unraveling, especially in closely spaced elements, while trim stitches are better suited for larger gaps to avoid visible threads.

[@KaiBuskirk]

Nice Machines! I’d love to add them to the our network platform

How much digitalize software?

[@ricomatv]

Hi! Check out the prices through here > ricoma.com/US/software/chroma

[@7djtriples]

WHAT IS THE BEST FREE SOFTWARE ? i CANT FIND ANY TO DO MY OWN DESIGNS

[@ricomatv]

Hi there! We recommend using Chroma! The software is designed to allow both the novice and experienced digitizer to create even the most intricate designs with ease and speed. Become a digitizing pro in no time with an easy-to-use interface, built-in styles, and customization tools!

[@KaiBuskirk]

Thanks !

[@ricomatv]

No problem!

[@errolsmith5634]

"...Chroma digitizing software comes with your embroider machine package..." That statement is some what disingenuous. You need to interpolate " based on your region of purchase" Good content as usual tho.

[@ricomatv]

We appreciate the feedback!

[@vaggelispousias]

Welcome to the family!

[@thedarkness2646]

I am having a hard time justifying the Luxe version of the software. I dont want to spend that much money and then have a hard time learning and having to spend money having people digitize for me.

[@ricomatv]

Hi there, did you need help with training?

[@thedarkness2646]

@@ricomatv it's not so much the training. It's the cost of luxe. I don't know if I want to spend that much money to find that it's not as full featured as other programs. $1400 is a lot as a single payment.

[@AS-oj3cw]

I do!! ​@@ricomatv

[@manzargazala9820]

[@ricomatv]

Thanks for the love!

[@johndoeee888]

If luxe version had a monthly payment. That would be awesome. Instead of paying it all 1 time.

[@ricomatv]

Hi! You can actually finance the Chroma software through a third party at checkout!

[@mohibsiddiqui1440]

hello all i m digitizer

[@ricomatv]

What Software do you use?

[@a.rmetref2603]

I didn't get the Chroma digitizing software with my Ricoma and the customer service is not helpful at all with the Issue, it's been almost a year now this is really frustrating

[@ricomatv]

Hi there! We are so sorry to hear this, are you located in the US?
