12:08 Profit breakdown
We begin with our first design, a faux chenille terrycloth “R” that we’ll be embroidering onto the left chest of the letterman jacket using our MT-1501. We go over what supplies you’ll need, and which hoops are best to use for each part of this project, depending on the placement of the design and what type of fabric is being used. We then go through the embroidery process step-by-step, so you can see how long it takes to embroider, and what the final design looks like.
Next, we demonstrate how to embroider a right chest logo, indicating what kind of stabilizer and hoops to use in the process. Then, we move on to the back of our jacket, another faux chenille terrycloth logo, showing you how to hoop, trace, cut and embroider the design along the way. And for our final placement, we embroider another, larger, and more colorful design on the back of our jacket to finish things off.
Lastly, we discuss the profit potential of embroidering a letterman jacket. We break down how to properly price your garment, so you can be sure to account for the materials purchased, plus the time it took you to create a project like this. - Навчання та стиль
This is so fascinating. I love all these videos showing the steps that go into the process!
We are so glad! (:
You guys provide so much helpful resources, even non Ricoma users can profit out of them.
We are so glad our channel has helped! Thank you!
LOVE this thanks!!!
We are so glad to hear this! Thanks for watching (:
OMG I love that back design!!! Is it available for purchase?
i'm a homemaker but i love sewing. I love what your machine does. I guess it can also be used to make patches aswel? That's the in thing now a days. Do you have any affiliated people who make patches for profit? Can you recommend anyone that may come to mind?

Nice
Thanks
Can this be done in the EM-1010? Also does ricoma machines embroider custom woven tags/labels? Thank you in advance great video and great jacket 🤘🔥
Hi! Absolutely! If you can hoop it, you can embroider it!
@@ricomatv thank you for the quick response 👍
Where was the faux chennile fabric purchased? Iv been looking for days, lol. I need to make some faux embroidered patches with my EM 1010 for some letterman jackets
Hi! We used Terry cloth fabric that you can find on Amazon or Joann's!
Where can I find that chenille cloth material like that by the yard or foot?
Hi! We used the 55" Wide Boucle Upholstery Plush Chenille Fabric Off White Color by The Yard a.co/d/hmxnhlq
Curious on how all the stabilizer looks on the inside? Is it not messy?
Not at all!
is that a marrow stitch around the letters applique, and if so how can I get that stitch file or how to digitize it?
Hi there! We recommend checking out this video in which we accomplish this with our Chroma software -->ua-cam.com/video/jNMDCI3u1ow/v-deo.html
What is the sewing field size on the Ricoma 1501? I would like to purchase the same large hoops. Great video!
Hi there! Are you referring to the TC or MT?
@@ricomatv MT
@@ricomatv MT1501
What’s the difference between the Ricoma MCC- 061201 and Ricoma MT-1501?
Because I know using the Ricoma MT 1501 you can hoop up jackets and detach the flat table etc. So can’t you hoop up jackets or detach the flat table with the ricoma MCc 061201? Like how the MT 1501 can.
Because I want an embroidery machine that can do both if possible, but if I can’t detach the flat table and use the different size hoops to directly embroider on the jacket then I’ll have to get a separate chenille machine by itself and figure out how to embroider the border around the chenille part separately.
So far I’m looking towards the Ricoma MT-1501, as it has a detachable table and it has multiple hoop sizes to directly embroider on big jacks etc. But if the MCC- 061201 can do the same as the MT-1501 but with the added chenille part then I’ll be jumping with joy as my research is complete. That’s if Ricoma brands can ship to the uk that is, if not then I’ll be jumping with sadness 😅.

When stitching the placement stitch on the terry cloth, did you use a stabilizer with it?
Yes, we would recommend it!
@@ricomatv what stabilizer did you use?
Hola, thank you
Any terry clothes or it’s one special?
Hi! It can be any.
May I ask where did you purchase the terry cloth
Hi! You can purchase this through Amazon!
how many hours did this entire project take? Digitizing, cutting, stitching etc.
Hi Jason! It took around 5-6 hours since we were working with Applique!
What is YOUR formula when pricing your work? Share below!
Cost of „Ingredients“
(In this case)
-Jacket
x1
-Threads
-Appliqué material
x2
Time to:
-digitize (how much effort? Many colors? Etc. when it’s a big design, an hourly „wage“ might make sense)
-embroider (well depends a lot on the machine so that part is up to you)
Pretty new so there isn’t much more i think about :)
@@yboii0662 Great pricing set up! Thanks for sharing :)
Hello. What hoop setting is for the 8 X13?
F hoop
and where can I purchase some terry cloth material with backing like that?
Hi there! We purchased the 55" Wide Boucle Upholstery Plush Chenille Fabric Off White Color by The Yard a.co/d/hmxnhlq
@@ricomatv where did you find the color black?
@@ricomatv hello, where’d you find it in black? Link takes me to off white

Can chenille be done on the EM1010?
Hi there, no it can't. You can do chenille with the MCC-061501.
Where can I find that terry cloth material
This is my question. Hopefully they respond.
You can use a high end terry cloth towel or check with a reputable fabric store that offers larger variety

where do i purchase that terry cloth?

What is the speed u used to embroideey this
Hi! For this design we ran it at 700.
How do I get to the trace stitch?
Hi there! We have a variety of videos depending on the model of your machine on how to trace your design ---> ua-cam.com/video/yS6N6p3yaH0/v-deo.html
@@ricomatv I mean how do you do a trace stitch like you did on the r in the video? I’m trying to do appliqué but I want to trace stitch the fabric so I can cut out the fabric first.
I would like to know the answer to this as well
Where did you buy the Jacket?
In about the beginning i can read „sport-tek“ on the collar, haven‘t looked it up but that might help you :)
Hi Errol! We purchased it from Sanmar.
@@ricomatv Thanks, man. I have a 12-needle ricoma and need some blanks
How much bobbin thread did you go through?
Around 4 bobbins
Whew that’s a lot of
How much would you charge for that jacket?
Easily several hundred dollars
Wouldn't it be easier to embroidery the design with the extra fabric all at once and cut it later?
Hi! We don't recommend doing it this way since there is too much fabric. We recommend checking out this video as well! > ua-cam.com/video/wjS35IZo0Gw/v-deo.htmlsi=9nH9JtmS0aLcyYWD
What's the name of the machine?
Hi! It's the MCC-061501 embroidery + chenille combo machine :)

AWESOME! I have been trying to find someone to make me a custom Letterman jacket. If there is someone who is a pro at Letterman Jackets please leave me a reply. Thanks!

@@ricomatv It is my big goal to one day get a Ricoma & do my own Embroidery. Currently focused on streaming/content creation for gaming on Twitch/UA-cam. Not enough time for me to do both. I will check out that group. Thanks for the heads up! :)
3.5 oz cutaway? you guys use madeira a lot and they only have what they call Super Hefty Plus Just Right 3.1 oz. did you mean to say 3.0 oz?? and if you did mean 3.5, what is your source?
Hi! We didn't mention using Madeira for this project. This is the one we used > Tiger-Hoo Cut Away Embroidery Backing Paper 3.53oz 18 Inches x 165ft. Embroidery Backing Stabilizer Ounce Cutaway for Machine Embroidery (Cut-Away White 3.5oz 18 Inches )

@@ricomatv thank you for the reply🙌. Goes a long way! I only was implying that Ricoma uses madeira because thats what my machine came with.
Where did you purchase the letterman Jacket for "$23"?
Sanmar
Why don't you just do your tackdown on the actual garment? I always do that follow by my tackdown and then my finishing stitch
We appreciate the suggestion!
I don't know if your question was a suggestion but based on this video I was wondering the same thing because I do a tack down stitch. But what I gather from this video is that is a lot easier to cut out the applique the way he did it. Because he was able to take it off the hoop then trying to cut it out after being attacked down while still being attached to the hoop. I just did a letterman applique type file it was annoying trying to cut around the letters while still being attached in the hoop
@@irvinoneil I don't know what kinda of hoops you're using but I have mighty hoops and it super easy to cut my appliques. I also have a multi needle machine so it easier than if you have a single needle which I use to have. I would never cut my applique pieces first as now you created an extra unnecessary step and make your process longer. Also you run the risk of possibility not cutting your applique pieces correctly were when you do your satin stitch you may have fabric lifting because you cut to small.
@@fairytalewonders4555 I use mighty hoops and have much needle machine as well depending on how big or small the design is cutting the round attached down piece of fabric can be easy or can be difficult. And you are right. Cutting the applicator design out separately can be a problem if you make a mistake or cut the design too small. But if you know you're exact measurements for your design such as the r letter he used in the video and you're doing multiple garments I don't see it as a waste of time or extra step the way he did it especially if you have a hoop big enough to do multiple hours at one time cut them out play some on a jacket and tack them down
It would have been nice if you would have slow down a bit to show setup etc. That would have been very helpful for beginners like me who just got interested in Ricoma - this video is not helpful to newbies!
Hi there, we have a variety of older videos that show the process. Check out the link to check them out.

For the Love of GOD, please dont go on dodging those running needles. ive sent few people to the emergency room with a 2cm piece of needle pined to their finger bone. not fun.... please use spray adhesive ( repositionable ones) to tack your piece down into place so you wont have to do the needle dance with your precious fingers.
Thank you for the tip!
