This week we have a special how-to embroidery episode, where our embroidery guru Willy takes on the challenge of embroidering 3d puff on Richardson 112 caps. He's diving deep into the tips, tricks, machine adjustments and even the digitizing advice that will help you embroider these difficult caps the right way. In this video, Willy will also show us how to lower the cap driver.
It’s no secret that Richardson 112 caps are the most challenging caps to embroider on. That's why this week we are showing you the entire process of embroidering 3d puff on these “impossible” caps-from digitizing to cleaning up the final product.
With the correct technique, tools and expertise, you can successfully run these caps at 1000 spm on Ricoma machines. As seen in this episode, Willy uses our CHT2 4-head model to simultaneously embroider four clean, crisp caps at maximum speed.
How?
First, Willy adjusts the cap driver to rest as low as possible-without touching the sewing arm-in order to leave enough room for the thicker, structured Richardson cap. Leaving your cap driver too high will result in excess bounce when the machine begins embroidering. All you’ll need are your handy Allen keys and plyers to make this easy adjustment.
Next, Willy raises the presser foot on each needle used for your 3d puff project. Because 3d puff is raised and comes higher off the thick cap, raising the presser foot is essential to clean embroidery.
When the adjustments are made and you’re ready to begin, we suggest always running a test on stabilizer on ALL heads of your machine. This is not only to test the digitizing, but to make sure each head is properly calibrated and threaded and will help avoid ruining any blank caps.
Once the design is checked, it’s time to hoop your caps-easily the most important part of cap embroidery. Richardson caps do not require any stabilizer, so focus on hooping your cap as tight as you possibly can. If you leave any extra slack, your caps will move out of place and/or your design will lose registration.
When your embroidery is done, take a heat gun (or a lighter if you don’t have one), burn off any excess thread, and help the foam and thread settle together to look as neat as possible.
If you follow this tutorial and practice these tips and techniques, you’ll be embroidering 3d puff on Richardson 112 caps at max speed with your Ricoma machine in no time!
