Good Morning from snowy Colorado Been
Hello!!
? What type of adhesive are you using, the name of it would be great. email please
Instantly I saw your big set up and was like…umm your big time?! I wanted to make about 20 for my spiritual group.
Fantastic work. I've never been able to soften the edges of patches before. I appreciate you sharing the video.
Could you please tell me the name of the equipment you used to measure the precise location on the shirts where the patch should go and where you purchased it?
I really enjoyed this video! Can you post where you found the patch placement guide for the polo shirt? Thanks!
Thank you. Here''s the link to the placement tool, thanks. allstitch.com/collections/placement-alignment-tools/products/embroiders-helper-placement-tool-dime
Great job 👏. This is the first time I learned how to smoothen the edges of patches. thanks for sharing the video.
Please, what is the tool you used to measure the exact point to place the patch on the shirts called and where did you buy it from?
Hello, thank you for the message! Here is the link to the placement ruler, any questions let me know.

I liked this great video. The only thing is that those two sections this gentleman shows how to use the hot knife and the flame were either too fast, or out of the visual field so they could not be seen very well. 5/5 stars!!!!!!
Do you have a video on how to digitize multiple patches?
Would love to know the settings on your panel. I can tell my 1501 to do multiple but then it only does ones at a time
Just a quick tip, to prevent the heatpress ghosting that we see, spray it with water and that ghosting box will go away.
Yes, true. If I have to, I use a light damp sponge and it comes right off. Once the shirt cools down the marks go away.
That was my pet peeve seeing that ghost bothered me some
Good advice thanks
what heat setting do you use on the heat press?
What was the temperature on the heat press, the time, and whst is the object you put under the shirt before pressing it?
Hello and thanks for video. Shortly after you added the 505 temp adhesive you had another piece of material and said "shiny side down" but you did not say what that medium with the shiny side was. I think it's the glue but it's not clear what you were talking about other than the shiny side touches the thread. Thank you.
Great video, thank you for the tips. How do you get rid of the heat press marks on the dark shirt before giving to the customer?
Once the shirt cooled down the mark went away. Also, you can rub a damp towel slightly and it’ll cool it quicker.
Thank you! You are the best, love learning from you
what size needle is best used for detailed patch ?
Where did you get the placement board? I like that one
Can I get a list of everything I need ( martial wise) please?
Thanks so much for this!
To press the patch, was there a part to peel from the adhesive on back or is it ready to press as-is once you adhered the other side to the twill? Thank you.
Yes, there’s a paper that you peel back.
Is the "Hot Knife" for removing frayed fabric only, can it also remove short threads that you cannot cut with thread trimmers. Thanks, in advance.
Love the video. Would you say the EM1010 still do the same just lower needles? I would use my glowforge to cut them out. Use what you have of course, that’s just what I have lol.
Thanks, I don't have a 1010, but it does have less needles and a smaller sewing field. For patches that is the difference.
Can I please have the link of where you get that stabilizer pleaseeeee???
when you heat pressed the patches with the adhesive, does it also act as an anti-snag for the facing of the patch? (since the faces of the patches are getting some heat, i wonder if it melts the poly threads into place).
The adhesive ties the back stitches altogether, the front side becomes even stronger, but it doesn't melt the front side.
What kind of stitch is that on the outside of your patches
How do you set up the art in the Ricoma machine. I mean if I digitize 1 logo and I need todo 10 patches of the same logo, how do I set up the file on the machine? Thanks!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Question, What kind of adhesive is used? I clicked link but seems there are many options on there, can you tell me exactly the one used for iron patches? Thanks!
Never mind, I seen it in the description lol reading is fundamental 😂
@@stardustdreams9780 Lol, I was about to copy and paste the info.
Can you make a video how to sew on top a polo shirt please
Hi, comrade . Which type of material with glue you used?
Any video on embroidering an actual patch to a garment not heat press?
Hello!!! There are many of us who are waiting for the video of how you set the screen to make that amount of patches, please do it.
Got you. Posting it in a couple days, thanks for the reminder.
Hello 👋 where do you get the official patch vectors. For example military rank and badges?
when you digitized to stitch out the patches how did you do the spacing between each patch to stitch out in the large hoop
I set up the spacing on the software.
Thank yòu how did you do all at once..i have an industrial machine
Emb 1 at a time
I set it up on the digitizing software.
Where can i purchase the template for this patch? my husband is a marine vet i would love to surprise him with this patch.
How long does the patch stay on?
Can you show how this is done in the software? Newbie here. Great video
Great video idea, I'll make a video on setting up on the software on one of my next patch projects.
@@RomeroThreads Thank you so much. Do you have one for creating cap designs as well? Thanks
Great detailed video, thank you. Is it ok to heat press polo shirts with buttons?
Yes, I would use a heat press pillow to lift the garment above the buttons. Thanks for the question.
@@RomeroThreads Do you put the pillow inside the shirt? Does the heat pad touch the buttons ?
@mistyBlue7 you can put the pillow either inside or on the bottom of the shirt. Inside the shirt you’ll have more control of the placement. And the buttons can be on the pillow.
Good morning Romero Threads. Please how much can I charge per one patch I have security company patches
Is there any trick to make the patch look naturally part of a hat? People tell me my patches look like they’re sticking up too much from the cap, but I love patches because you can make them larger than the 2.5 inches or so embroidery machines will embroider on a cap. Thanks!
Hi Romero, great video. Any chance you can leave links to the materials used and where we can get them please?
Will do, I'll have everything up tomorrow morning on the description.
@@RomeroThreads Thanks a ton! Found what i was missing and ordered it from your list. Thanks..
Thanks for you video
what size is the patch?
2.5 inches
Hi where can I purchase the ruler template you used? Great video too. Thank you.
He has a link for it in the description area.
I’d have embroidered straight on to the polo shirt… but great tutorial.
Great video thanks , just wondering once you have the badge digitized , how do you multiply it ? Hope that makes sense
I duplicate the design in the software according to my hoop size.
@@RomeroThreads thank you 🙏
👍👍👌👌
hi Romero ... question on the fabric. what do you uncoded twill? Please explain
Can re-type or re-word the question. Thanks.
How long did your machine take to do that batch? You mentioned 4 to 5 hours. Was that total from patch to garment? Great step by step video sir. Be safe
Im pretty sure just embroidering
What kind of cutaway backing did you use in this video?
3oz cut away
I did the burning with a lighter, but the white edge I want to get rid of looks yellowish/burnt. I did the exact same thing as you did-not leaving the lighter at the same spot over time. Is it supposed to be like that, or did I do anything wrong? How can I fix it? Thanks!
Its a little tricky with white thread. Ive used a butane lighter (the one plumbers use), it works better for me better.
Can you use twill with adhesive backing or do you have to do twill, backer and then the adhesive backing?
Yes you can. As long as remove the carrier sheet, you’re good to go. If you do so, you don’t have to spray adhesive spray.
What’s the difference between stitching directly to the polo shirt and doing the patches first and than putting them on to the shirt ?
Let's say you want to sell patches, your customers can iron them on. Usually, you would stitch them out directly, but patches are something quick and easy that are always requested.
I found your link for the adhesive. Is it the 965 sheet? We are presently working on an order for patches on a Richardson 309 hat. We used Twill fabric and Ultra Bond, Heat N Bond adhesive. The patches won't stay adhered. We took the hats to another company that does hats to use their heat press. Their press wasn't a nice one and creased the hat. So, we are now going to try Fabric Fusion to glue them on. We have no idea why these hats and/or patches with this adhesive is not working. Any helpful advice appreciated. Thanks.
Oh, I now see your note with the link saying which adhesive. Sorry I overlooked that.
Yea its the P600 5-Mil. We've had good luck with that adhesive, you do have to find the sweet spot as far as temp, time and pressure. Thanks for stopping by!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Q: what is the fabric your using the badges can you named please and what’s the white paper calling or named
Thanks. The fabric is tackle twill and the the stabilizer is cut away and the adhesive is adhesive. I posted the links where I buy my stuff.
I can find the link did you mind to send me please
Thanks for this awesome video. What size needle did u use?
Thank you for the question. On the white thread, I used a 40 weight thread w/ a 70 size needle, and the black text I used a 60 weight thread and 65 size needle. Good question, I should've mentioned it.
@@RomeroThreads where can i learn which needle and thread to use when? Is there a rule of thumb or is it just experience?
@@aceboogie959 Ex biz owner here. There are hundreds of companies on the Web, thousand of articles and downloadable sheets from sewing and embroidery companies. Web search big time with just succinct questions. You will do fine, cheers.
Not sure if this question has been asked. I am curious to know why not just embroider the design directly onto the shirt? Also is there a way I can cut out the patches with a cricut machine instead of cutting by hand?
Hello, great question, You can embroider directly on a shirt, but sometimes a customer wants to order patches and place the patches on their own different garments. You can use a Cricut and make the patches as an applique, but I dont think you can do the final cut with a cutter. You'll have to use something like a laser for the final patch cut.
Did you use adhesive in the back of the Patch to stick to the Polo Shirt?
Yes.
Same question.may i know the name of the white adhesive.and where to buy online.
Hello, all links are in the description also. Let me know if there's anything I left out.

Hi Romero, is your twill a thick black satin fabric. And do you think I can use any medium thick fabric but with the specify colour of course? Thank you for teaching us. I really want to learn how to do patches. All the best to you and your business.
You can use any fabric when it comes to patches. Poly Twill is the most common.
@@RomeroThreads ok thank so much aye. Really appreciate your help.
Do you know how to cut the patches with a vinyl cutter ? I’ve been looking everywhere for a video on that
I never used the cutter to cut after the patch is done, only to pre cut the bottom layer before stitching the design.
how do you get rid of all the iron burns on the Polo, better to use a cricut iron, gets hot enough and heats smaller areas.
My pressure was pretty high on the heat press. It was flatten and stiff in that area, a day later the shirt was back normal. You can rub a damp sponge if the creases stay.
hello, please tell me about this vido need Material
Great video sir. Where did you get that Crest tool that you used?
Its called the embroider's helper, I have the link in the description, thanks.
@@RomeroThreads thank you sir. I found it on Amazon
Hello Romero. I'm loving your step by step videos. I was wondering what is the purpose of the brown pillow on the heat press? Thank you and God Bless you.
Hello, thank you for the message. The heat press pillow is helpful when heat pressing something that is not 100% flat. It'll help our stitches get a better press.
@@RomeroThreads Thank you.
Hey Romeo , what adhesive you running ?
HEAT PRESS ADHESIVE: P600 5-Mil 49.5″ Permanent
twillusa.com/product/adhesive-by-the-yard/
How do you get rid of that big square scortch mark around the patch?
It comes off when it cools down.
Where do you multiply them? On the machine or in chroma?
I multiply them in the software, I use Wilcom ES 4.5.
Thank you so much for this tutorial but is the adhesive paper double-sided. From the patch to the shirt? Sorry if it sounds like a simple question.
The adhesive is double sided. One side is heat pressed to the patch then the other side is ironed or heat pressed to the shirt.
@@RomeroThreads Thank you so much!
one question please , what type of adhesive are you using ?
Yes, Im using P600 5mil from Twill USA.

Wich fabric on th Emridery sir
Polyester Twill
One question, How do you program the screen so that you can embroider various patches.
Good question, i'll make a video this week on the set up, thanks.
@@RomeroThreads Thank you very much, it would be very helpful, you won a subscriber.
Ok
Good video, but how come I see a square box around the patch on the shirt? How do you get rid of that box? I don't think my customers would accept a shirt with a bo like that.
The mark comes off. It was just fresh off the heat press. The shirt is 50% cotton so it leave a mark for a bit. After a couple of hours it went away. Dropping the pressure eliminates it all.
Sir the white stuff you heat at the back of your material after making the patches what's it called
Its called Heat press adhesive P600 5mil. Its from TwillUSA and the link is in the description. Thanks for stopping by.
@@RomeroThreads that's so far away from me, I have been looking for something like this to be making my patches, did you know what it is called in Nigeria, I'm from Nigeria
What brand of adhesive did you use?
I use heat press adhesive P-600 5 mil, from Twill USA. The link is in the description.
