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.

[@workouttomybrain6064]

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

[@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!

[@DRRLBNY]

Thanks for sharing

[@ricomatv]

Thanks for watching!

[@queenakinlaja]

I bought 2 ricoma machines from you I don't know how to start please help me

[@ricomatv]

Of Course. Please go to your customer portal and take the pre-training classes. Once they are complete, you can then set up an online training session with one of our specialist.

[@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.

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.

[@ricomatv]

Thanks for the love!

[@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

[@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]
