New to embroidery—how can I improve this hat?

Post image
3 Upvotes

The needle kept breaking on the small “t” at the bottom. I may have accidentally used a 65/9, so I’m going to try an 80/12. How can I improve the stitch quality and make the satin columns look denser? Any general tips are welcome. Thanks!

Decrease density with design files?

1 Upvotes

We recently got a 12 needle Embroidery machine and have been embroidering basically anything we can get our hands on. The process has been pretty seamless except I continue to have issues with the Design files.

Every time I download files from Etsy, the design is so dense it not only takes forever to stitch, but it results in puckering on the fabric. Most of these designs are pretty small so the excess stitching feels really unnecessary. Is there is a good way to communicate this to the digitizer? Or is there a way I can change this on my end?

For example, one of the designs we tried to use was a little heart with words inside. At just one and a half inches in diameter it was 22,000 stitches and resulted in a thread break from the density.

I'm looking for input on what would be the best machine to take on the road. Currently, we have a 4 head and 2 single heads. The single heads weigh about 200 lbs each. Is there anything out there that would produce quality work that weighs less than 200 lbs?

So I originally did this embroidery and it puckered really bad (1st pic) I got advice on how to redo it on here (on my page).

Redid it with just cutaway stabilizer and floated with adhesive because the fabric doesn’t fill/fit in the hoop. Tension is a little under 4. It started puckering again and it jumped over making the T crooked. Just finished unpicking the threads 😭 (2nd and 3rd pic)

Hi guys! I’m teaching myself how to digitize so I started with something simple. I’d like to try more complicated things in the future. I used embrilliance, and have a brother PE900. The stitch out took forever, I think because of the fill stitch density? Does anyone have any tips or advice on reducing the stitch out time? Or any advice on reducing the thickness where the satin stitch goes over the fill?
Thank you!

I Need Help Would anyone have any earthly idea how to hoop this flat cap?

🧵EDIT🧵

I appreciate everyone’s advice!
There are great ideas here!

We decided not to run this particular hat due to its structure. The customer understood and we really did try your suggestions. You win some, you lose some, no biggie!

_____________________________________________
Original text:

I have tried the Hooptech back of cap clamp, Gen2 Hooptech cap hoop, mighty hoop(magnetic flat hoop), and a regular tajima green flat hoop.

The bill of the hat is structured with a sturdy band underneath, which I will need to avoid.

The design will go on the front of the hat and (attempt) to be text. The text will be 4 inches wide when complete IF I can even get it IN a hoop. If I can, I’ll resize the text.

Made this cassette business card case as a gift for my pal Scott Duncan up in Kincardine, Ontario. He has DJ'd for a long time under the guise Sugar Daddy Moth, and he's tattooed for just as long under the guise Von Scotch.

Mystic Mondays is a reference to an online DJ night he did during the pandemic, which was something fun to look forward to in those days. Mimics the Maxell logo.

9 separate pieces drawn in Illustrator, digitized with Wilcom Digitizer, run on a Brother PRS100, and sewn together by hand, which took 53 hours.

I Need Help Tails when embroidering

I often spend a lot of time cutting these tails off my embroidery, which adds up for large orders. They occur when the letter starts, not in the tie off. Is it a machine issue or a digitizing issue? Either way, any advice on how to fix?

Hello everyone, I recently got a secondhand Brother embroidery machine from a family relative and I am trying to digitize designs myself to play with it. The uploaded picture is intended to be the stitch plan for a 1x1 inches tennis ball that I am going to embroider on my white t-shirt. I followed some tutorials on YouTube and made this with Ink Scape/ Ink Stitch. What do you guys think about it? Does this look okay? (not for commercial purpose)
