We will show you the details of stocking cap embroidery on different styles of caps. Here is the link to the primer stitch: • Primer Stitch / Knock-...
At the extreme speeds that we sew, ball point needles can do a bit more damage than good. I prefer an RG tip (almost a light ball/sharp hybrid) for most things. I will change occasionally, but it is becoming rare for me.
@@MelcoEmbroidery Thanks Nate!😀 Iwas up til 4:30am watching videoes...and I did see the Needle video you did during a snowstorm that talked about this. Thanks for your responses, much appreciated as I am trying to get comfortable with my machine.
For thread weight, we tend to use 40 weight for just about everything. When we get to the crazy fine detail, we may look at a 60 or 70 weight. For needles, the 75/11 that are on the machines are a good all-around needle. For caps with a lot of abrasive structure in the back, you may need to go up a size (80/12) and for finer detail or finer fabrics, you could go down a size. RG tips are my current favorites for most things. Here is a playlist about needles: ua-cam.com/play/PLC4iL8q1qG4dFvZqj-C7ZS9s1yFOj0U4V.html
So are you saying the std needles that came with machine are ok to stitch on these knit hats and Jersey /ball point needles aren’t necessary?

It would be nice for Melco to do hands on tutorials using your machine instead of just explaining especially for visuals learners. But Great Job
Noted! Thank you.
Hey guys. I’m new to melco, i wanted to ask what needle do you use for hats and beanies? And what size weight thread?

You mentioned putting an offset is design shop after laser aligning. Could you please explain that a little more?
I think we did this for sewing over a pocket and not sewing it shut. I'm pretty sure it is in this video.
