Next, we discuss why you might want to start making Velcro patches in your shop, and go over the costs and potential profit, so you have a full picture of how much you stand to make selling patches like these on an online retailer, like Etsy.
Then, we go over the patch digitizing process in depth, so you have a comprehensive understanding of how to create your own Velcro patch design.
Finally, we go through the embroidery process from start to finish on the Ricoma MT-1501 15-needle commercial embroidery machine, and reveal the final product.

[@DrEltonkreativ]

I use a soldering iron instead of a lighter. the edges will be much cleaner with it.

[@ricomatv]

Good to know, thank you for the suggestion!

[@LucyLu70]

Thanks for this video. Which part of the velcro did you put in the back The Hook or the fuze part dont know what to call it lol

[@ricomatv]

The felt fabric!

[@wowwhydopplhavemyid]

Thank you for the video! how think are these felt fabrics? I see 1.5mm but im thinking they might be too thick

[@ricomatv]

Hi! There are 2mm thick!

[@wowwhydopplhavemyid]

@@ricomatv Thank you so much!

[@jelly64]

Awesome video

[@ricomatv]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@stephanieconte7831]

My needles keep picking up the glue on the self adhesive velcro tape mentioned in the supplies. Is there a specific kind you need to buy?

[@ricomatv]

Hi Stephanie! If possible, use sew-on Velcro instead of self-adhesive Velcro. Sew-on Velcro is specifically designed to be stitched and does not have adhesive that can gum up your needles.

I am also curious about where you got the Merrow stitch design.

[@ricomatv]

The merrow stitch was created through Chroma

[@bradhunter9290]

@Ricoma TV is that a new option in chroma? I've never seen a merrow stitch option

[@alexedwardv]

Is the merrow stitch something you purchase or is that an option in Luxe?

[@embrrrah]

merrow

[@alexedwardv]

@@embrrrah Great answer, really helpful

[@adubbproductions]

In Chroma Luxe select Appliqué on the left, then in the appliqué menu on the right next to Type hit the drop down and you will see mimic merrow.

[@alexedwardv]

@@adubbproductions Awesome, thanks! I'm gonna look into that today

[@adubbproductions]
