I can't wait to get my Ricoma. I'm saving for it. Great video and she is the cutest!
We can't wait either!
Just a tip for you... turning the garment inside out and placing the stabilizer on that way is much easier ;-) then turn it the right way around and hoop as normal
Thanks for the info!
I agree
Thanks for the help. needed it!
We're so glad it helped!
Thanks! Great video!
Thank you for watching!
I cannot avoid the puckering. I've done at listen 8 design on a poly shirt. I still can't get it. It's very frustrating.can I plz get a link of the backing your using in this video. It's never clear.

Hi, I really learn a lot from your videos, thanks! I am looking for a solution on how to best make 7mm text on stretch fabric. I will be glad if you make a video about such cases
Hi! We will be sure to pass this to the team
Hi great video but I can’t tell where it says XC.. for the needle. Think you covering with nail
If you pause the video there is a little picture of the needles just above my right shoulder. Thank you for watching DBxK5 are the needles we use.
My bad. I thought you were pointing somewhere else. I appreciate . Thank you
What is the product name that you used for spray adhesive?
Btw I love all of your videos they are very helpful. Because of your videos I ended up buy 1501TC from Ricoma. The service is wonderful!
Hi Ricardo, thanks so much for the love
Nice work
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks for the info! You mentioned using polyester threads, does it make a difference if I'm using 100% viscose (Sulky 40)?

Since it's so tricky to embroider on stretchy materials, would it be better to embroider on some kind of adhesive backing and then heat press the "adhesive patch" onto the stretchy shirt instead?
Thanks for your feedback, there's many way to do all embroidery projects!
Hi I was wondering what kind of paper do I use under the hoop when dealing with this kind of material
Hi there, we used no show cutaway
But if one has a 12 head machine? There has to be a faster cheaper way than using spray?

Welcome!
Can you show us how to embroider split baseball jerseys?
Thanks for the recommendation!
How does the backing feel against the skin - especially if you wear this shirt while exercising? I imagine that the edges of the cutaway backing can irritate the skin if it's moving up/down/around while running for example.
Depends on how well you clean it up.
Hi, i know you've recommended cut away stabilizer but how about tear away stabilizer? Is it suitable for the fabric shown in your video?
HI there, thanks so much for watching. We recommend using cut away because it provides the most stability, which is important when working with stretchy fabrics. If you want to use tear away, try doubling up on it and be sure to use a thick tear away. Hope this helps!
@@ricomatv Thank you very much for the great info & tips!
No-Show Cut Away, can you list the brand you are using? Is it like No-Show Mesh? Thank You!
Hi there, thanks so much for watching. Brands vary per video!
Is it the same as no show mesh cut away ?
What type of material is the shirt is it 100% poly or a blend?
Stretchy polyester, Jill.
Hi there, what software do I use for my mac laptop? I own a ricoma but don’t know how to get the letter software?
Hello, your Ricoma came with a download of our digitizing software, Chroma. When you initiate the download, you will be able to chose between a MAC or Windows download format.
Ricoma Embroidery Machines oh no after the hurricane I must of thrown everything to the trash we got 2 ft of water, is there anyway I can purchase another one?
What brand of adhesive spray are you using please
looks like Sprayway Fast Tack 87 general purpose mist adhesive

I don't understand why she never turns the garment inside out when putting on stabilizer. It saves so much time! It frustrates me to see her frustrated with the amount of time she loses doing it the slow way.
Hi Kristi, thank you for pointing that out. We appreciate your feedback!
@@ricomatv can you suggest a topping to put on top of the embroidery once the stitching is done to protect the skin? In one of your videos the host mentioned a clear protector that was sticky and the sticky was covered by paper that you peel off.
the 'THE' looks kind of sloppy. it did not stitch out very nice IMO. But good info
Thanks for watching!
is that a single or double sheet of backing? looks like 2 but you didn't say...?
It's one piece! While we want to increase stabilizing and so using cutaway, too much can make it blocky and not drape as nicely. So we used one piece of no-show cutaway! Thanks for watching!
