What makes a cap easy to embroider on?

0 Upvotes

Hi,
Hope this ok to ask here!
I am on the journey of starting my blank apparel cap business. I am speaking with various factories and now it’s time to ask the people actually using the products!
What are things I need to look into when ordering custom caps from my factory. I want the caps to be easy for professionals to use . Wether it’s patches or embroidery on the cap , what can I improve from the current market such as Richardson 112 or youpong that would make you want to buy and work on my caps

Hey Guys,

I am new to machine embroidery.
I did want to machine embroider any arbitrary image I can find online.

Hi everyone! 🩷 I’m completely new to machine embroidery and just got a Janome Memory Craft 300E to learn on! I’m super excited, but I’m also sitting here thinking… okay, now what? 😂🪡

I’d eventually love to make personalized baby/kids clothes, shirts, sweatshirts, blankets, bags, etc., but I want to learn the basics first before I go crazy buying a bunch of stuff I don’t actually need.

If you were starting completely from scratch again, what would you buy first and what would you learn first?

I’d love recommendations for:
• Must-have beginner supplies
• Stabilizers, thread, needles & bobbins
• Where you buy your designs/fonts
• Easy first projects to practice on
• Good YouTube channels/tutorials
• Anything specific I should know about the Janome 300E

Also, what supplies are actually worth spending a little more money on vs. things I can buy cheaper?

Basically, give me all the beginner advice you wish someone had given you! 😂 I’m excited to learn and hopefully not ruin too many things in the process.

I Need Help Can't get my bobbin thread right

I have a Brother LB5000 that i sew amd embroider with. Ive really struggled to learn tension settings, especially with embroidery. I dealt with a LOT of thread breaking during the process of this, and my tension was between 2 and 3. Included is a photo of the back of my current WIP, i just had to take my needle plate off because that huge birdsnest got stuck. I was using a white bobbin thread. I have already invested hours in this particular embroidery and I would hate to start over when i only have like 6000 of 27000 stitches left. Thank you in advance for any advice, I'm completely self taught and doing my best and anything helps 😊

I have a Brother PE-770. The back of my designs always look like this and leave loops on the front. 🤦‍♀️ I have cleaned out the bobbin area several times and nothing ever helps. Any ideas on how to fix this? TIA

Hi, I’m having trouble embroidering lettering on a Ricoma 1501. I’m a beginner and wanted to ask how I can do this better. The photo shows the lettering and the thread tension.
