Awesome! Let us know how it goes.

We are so glad the videos are helping! Let us know if you were looking for anything specific :)

Right? Thanks for watching

If you don't already have a finished blank keychain to work with, you can actually make the keychain as an in the hoop project, which essentially means that all the sewing of the fabric in order to actually create the keychain is completed on the embroidery machine. There are many ways to do this, but here is one way: You will need to digitize your key chain design in the shape of your keychain and create a satin stitch as the final stitch. First, hoop tear-away stabilizer with your key chain fabric (whatever fabric you want the keychain to be made of). Then, stitch your outline stitch in the shape of the keychain. Then, stitch the actual design in the keychain. Once it finishes stitching, cut out a piece of fabric about the size of your design and add it to the bottom of the hoop using tape to hold it securely. Then, you will complete the final satin stitch to seal both sides together. Once you're done, just cut it out and apply snaps to create the loop in the keychain. Then, put the ring in through and you're done!

Hi Linda, yes the felt can be washed.

Hi there, A few quick tips: 1) Always digitize according to the fabric you are working with for the patch. Your software will allow you to change the setting to resemble the closest fabric if it isn't included. 2) Make sure the die line (running stitch that marks placement) is the first color stop. 3) When you first place the fabric, follow it with a tack-down stitch to keep the fabric in place. 4) When embroidering the inside of the patch, choose simple fills like a tatami stitch for the background, or you can use the felt/twill/etc to fill in as the background to use less thread. 5) Leave a good amount of space between the fabric and the final satin stitch if you choose to sew your patch on later on or use your embroidery machine to sew your patch on. 6) Create a tack-down stitch before your final satin stitch. 7) Your satin stitch should be last to close it off and seal the edges. 8) For a patch effect on garment (sort of like an applique) you can sew the patch right onto the garment as you embroider. To do this, first run the die line directly onto the garment. Then, place the fabric and run the rest of the patch, making sure the satin stitch is the last thing to embroider, as that will lock in the patch to the garment

Christine Ryerson they said you can use felt or twill. Not both felt and twill at the same time.

Hi Tyler, we get ours from Amann USA, Solvy by Sulky is also a very popular one. bit.ly/2EiivM8 Any embroidery supplier should carry water soluble stabilizer. You can also find them on Amazon.

Hi there, the purpose of the water-soluble backing is to get a clean, thread wrapped edge that can be torn away cleanly after stitching. By doing it all on the felt you won't get that thread wrapped edge and you will also have to cut them out when finished, which will give you a messy felt lining around the entire patch. If you mean embroidering the design on the patch first, then cutting it out and appliqué it onto the water-soluble backing to get that thread wrapped edge..then yes you can do it either way :)

No, they don't.

standard paper glue instead

I have found that my machine doesnt like heavy consistency sprays (like that tempo spray she is using in the video) It was gumming my needle so I switched back to spray n bond basting adhesive and have not had the problem again. I liked the tempo because it comes in a bigger bottle and you get alot more product, however, like I said my machine didnt like it. So I think its just a matter of trying a few different brands to see what works with your machine. I have a brother essence VE2300, brother SE425, and brother PE800 all prefer the spray n bond over the tempo spray. So maybe just try another brand of spray.

@@ricomatv Thanks but the link is not working.

You can use any water soluble stabilizer!

@@ricomatv Yes i'm aware. But I want to use the same "aqua top" stabilizer you guys use it seems like the perfect WSS.

Hi there, thanks so much for watching. This is a great question to ask in our Facebook support group, Embroidery and Custom Apparel Mastery. This group is meant for all lovers of embroidery with lots of resources and more members discussing topics helping each other out and learning about Ricoma machines and other brands! We recommend you join this group as we'd love to have you! facebook.com/groups/embroiderymastery

We used a 75/11 sharp point standard embroidery needle.

Hey there. We produce and sell embroidery machines. You could reach out to one of our customers. I suggest going to this facebook group and asking someone there. facebook.com/groups/embroiderymastery/

twill! those are the best to make patches.

Aqua solve helps keep the stitches from sinking into the fabric!

Hi Daniel. The spray we used for the patches is called TEMPO Spray Adhesive, and the plastic is called AQUATOP topping.

That's great to hear. Get in touch with us to get our best offer. www.ricoma.us/contactus

Thanks for the recommendation!

Most likely they are printed on like dtg printing. Basically a huge printer but for fabric

You probably need a laser cutter attachment added on to your machine

Hi there! Can you clarify on what you mean?

@@ricomatv I was wanting to do 4. But only did one complete at a time.

Nuestros trabajadores que hablan espanol desafortunadamente no están en el equipo de video, y como como un equipo de video mas pequeño no tenemos el tiempo para hacer tres videos al semana. Pero tenemos los subtitulos en espanol!

Kyle Becker said that al it costs? $200 is great. I got quotes for $280 to make 50 3x3 patches in Pakistan and Ukraine. China quotes are much cheaper, like $85 for the same job. What gives?

Beautiful nails!

Erasmo Robles uhm because she wants to?
