My guy, Romero! 😃

💪🏽

[@garylsewell]

FYI, Hotronix released a new firmware version for the Fusion 360 a few weeks ago. With this release they added a new button at the bottom on the screen so you don’t have to slap the handle to release it.

[@RomeroThreads]

Thanks for the info.

[@shellyjorgensen2441]

I didn't know you could pop it open without turning it off.

[@silosycho]

When will you be doing full sleeve embroidery?

[@jessiegibson9023]

Good video thanks #rewind

[@aceboogie959]

Hey romero, what do think about backing embroidery with "soft n touch" etc. To make it more smooth to wear. I want add this to my work but so far i failed to make it durable. You got any tips or perhaps a video about it?

[@RomeroThreads]

I usually don't use it unless Im working on children clothing. It does have to be light washed and air dried or else it can come off. Its more of a special request in certain situation.

[@gailhardock1206]

How do you do a "laundry test" on a hat? Thank you again for your great videos, I always learn something.

[@RomeroThreads]

I toss it in the washer. The hat takes a beating but its a good way to check if my patch was fully set.

[@tabb92592]

Does the pillow help the adhesive fully set? I'm having issues with my patches, especially the more detailed(thicker areas) Adhesive kind of floats on those areas and I can easily peel the whole backing off.

[@RomeroThreads]

Yes, it makes a big difference using the pillow. It gives it an even pressure all around.

[@Tim.McElheny]

What are the advantages to heat pressing patches opposed to embroidering the design directly onto the hat?

[@RomeroThreads]

Good question. I'll give you 2 reasons. 1- If you have a complicated detailed design, or very small text sometimes making a patch makes it easier to create. 2- If you sell patches, you can have the option to put the design on a hat as an upsell. There are other reasons but these would be my main reasons, thanks for the question.

[@Tim.McElheny]

@@RomeroThreads good to know, thank you!

[@user-dx7ho8bu8e]

What adhesive do you use? Thanks for the vid

[@RomeroThreads]

I use P600 5mil from Twill USA. Here’s the link for the info. twillusa.com/product/adhesive-by-the-yard/

[@irvinoneil]

How does the heat press adhesive compare to heat and bond used for applique? Is it stranger than heat and bond?

[@RomeroThreads]

It is a whole lot stronger.

[@irvinoneil]

@@RomeroThreads ok thanks

[@edwardolivares5038]

Can you heat press patches on the side of the hats ?

[@RomeroThreads]

Yes you can.

[@basementprinting8197]

Where did you buy your 3 inch pad?

[@RomeroThreads]

The white foam pad came with my hat heat press.
