Hello sir. Quick question. When you got your 1501, did it come with the hat hoop and 2 hat rings. The 2 hat rings means that you can have 1 hat on the machine while you prep the second hat? Sorry, this is all new to me. I'm still waiting for my 1501 to ship and I just want to know if I have to buy another hat hoop. Thank you for your time
Hello, yes, it should come with 2 hat rings. And yes, its very necessary to have 2 hoops and prep the next hat when in production mode. Any questions, let me know, thanks.
@@RomeroThreads so I'm a little confuse between the hat rings and hoops. Should I buy an extra hat hoop or am I good with the accessories I'm getting with the machine?
You should be good with what you have. I use a different hat hoop station thats separate from the standard hoops. But you should be good with whats being sent. Practice and practice with whats included and with time you'll see what you need.
Thanks so much for your content. It’s wonderful. What’s the difference between the dense puff foam from Gunold and the regular puff foams they have? Is one thicker ? I like that the regular has more color options.
Got a detailed multi color design I am embroidering on a dad hat. Having the hardest time keeping my black outline stitch in registration. its been off registration every time I embroider on a dad hat. Making sure to use my clips and keeping the hat tight but still keep running into issues. The embroidery looks in registration when I do it on a flat stabilizer. Any insight?
I use to have trouble with dad hats w/ the regular hoops, I had to change and use the Gen2. It grips the hats way tighter. Maybe the only thing I can think of is make sure your using 2 pieces of tearaway (maybe 3).
@@RomeroThreads I see. Using regular hoops now. Haven't tried the Gen2 but might have to pick them up. I have tried 2-3 stabilizers but still the same issues. Will keep working on it, thanks!
We have a real problem with heavy buckram hats on our Melco EMT- 10 4t. we use 80/12 needles but break needles a lot just on the hat style. We are now running with no backing but still get breaks. We are at our end, any suggestions.
It all depends where the breaks are coming from. Sometimes the corners of satin stitches can be a problem. Make sure you have short stitches set for any tight satin stitch angles. Maybe a certain area of the design is too tight (density wise) or many stitches on top of stitches.
The best 3D puff digitizer service is Vitor. And I purchase my dense puff foam at Gunold. Or Allstitch if you don’t have a Gunold account. www.vitordigitizing.net
I’m kind of new to this whole embroidery business and you lost me on the digitizing issue. What is it that you have to do on digitizing for caps that is different for flat embroidery. Hope I’m relating this question clearly.
@@RomeroThreads so it works with the MT-1501? Where do I purchase it and do you have a code so you get the credit? I really appreciate this because this hoop that came with the machine is giving me the blues!!
I purchased this hat hoop after seeing your videos thinking it would help with the needle breakage from not getting the cap snugged down enough to get rid of the bounce. I have a customer that likes the Richardson 112 snap mesh back trucker caps and his design sewn to left of midline. I still cannot seem to get it pulled down snug enough to fit. Any suggestions? And do you digitize for customers? Love you videos!
I would say make sure you're using sharp titanium needles and the are facing correctly. And also make sure the backing is nice and flat. Usually the side should be easier to stitch. Next maybe double check the design and ensure it's not too dense. Maybe any of these recommendations may help.
@@RomeroThreads I’m using sharp titanium needles. I just can’t seem to get the cap snugged down enough to get rid of the bounce. Do you do custom digitizing? And if so how do I contact you to send you what I need digitized? Thanks for your reply.
Did you have to modify your cap driver? I’m reading some people take off the wings? To make the gen 2 not hit something. I’m getting mine this week. Thanks for your help.
Yes, I took off the left wing since wide designs was hitting the wings (ive had it without 2 wings also, works fine). Thats all Ive had to adjust, easy task.
@@RomeroThreads thanks for your reply. Are you able to use the cap hoops that came with machine without the wings? Or do you have to put it back again? I appreciate it
@@RomeroThreads have you every doubled up on your foam to create more density… if so would you still use the 80/12. Can you still use the same digitized design or would the digitizer need to know that you will use layered foam?
Yes, Ive double up. You can still use the design as long as it is 3D foam ready. You should be fine with 80 needle. Once you start stacking too thick, you might have to adjust the presser foot. I feel that 3mm is always a good thickness for us.
