I downloaded Chroma Luxe today and was impressed with how nicely it digitized my bmp file and also found it easy to work with the PNG file I already used with another program. Your videos are always so helpful and appreciated!
I learned something new by watching this. Now I need to try it. I still have a ton more to learn. I actually love that your videos aren’t perfect, but they are real af! Lol Thanks!
Love all your videos!! Thank you so much for this video. I have the EM1010 with Chroma Luxe and I have not digitized much since I was unsure of the order...like tack down etc. Your videos have been super helpful and you give info that others do not...so thank you for that. 😺
Thanks for the tutorial. I have Chroma software and I have never used it. This tutorial was very helpful and easy to grasp. I will definitely try to fo it.🙂
Thank you. When you add those commands in the software the machine is supposed to do it but in my case it doesn’t I always have to add the commands on the machine so I have to make them different colors so I have something to add the command to. I’ll try again to see.
YEAH MAN! This is great and how I enjoy playing with the designs to figure out simple skills like this. Very important “as you mentioned in your earlier videos” to play around with the different features to learn these and other things this software can do. As always real, great videos!
Hey! Im somewhat new to embroidery. Two questions, do you recommend upgrading my chroma inspire to luxe? Also, could you do a video on greek letter appliqué if you’re into that field of work?
I would definitely upgrade if i were you. Luxe has all the tools you need. I’ll consider do that tutorial in the future but digitizing tutorials don’t perform well. Have you watched all the other digitizing videos i have on the channel? If you do then you will know how to digitize Greek letters easily.
Nothing wrong with how you are doing it, It works. But the Placement stich, tach down, and applique are already there you just have to separate them and rearrange them. 1st create the text in applique font. 2nd Break up Text. 3rd select a single letters applique layer and break up path. Repeat for the rest of the letters. 4th ungroup the run, run, applique. Repeat for the rest of the letters, now you can cut and paste or drag the Placement runs, and Tach down runs, and Applique together. Now it will stich out like it should in the first place. Will drop all placement stitches, then tach down and you can program the machine to frame out like normal in-between.
Makes perfect sense. I have to try it. Same color or do you need to change the color of the tack down and placement to assign different commands to them?
I was just about to type that its already applique file he just has to break it up like he did at 10:30. use the drop arrow next to the name and it should show you the different colors, I use wilcom ES but its still the same process except I can have it do a frame out for the fabric.
Do you know why I’m not able to convert all 3, it’s only allowing me to change the main embroidery color, the placement stitch and tack down stitch will not change different colors.
@@adubbproductions Chroma Luxe, I think I figured it out. I had to go in to commands and change the color to 3, this whole time I did not know how to change the color, really just now trying to digitize a design myself, I had been outsourcing.
I have a quick question I’m not sure if you still upload but on 8:10 & 8:11 between those 2 times while aligning your letters you have to adjust it a little so that it was completely aligned can you please tell me how you did that I’m trying my hardest to figure it out but I can’t seem to get it entirely it leaves me with the option that I may have to align everything individually which is super time consuming could you help me out please
Question for the ‘em-1010 hoop. Can you make a video with the widest hoop it takes, Loaded up with a pull over hoodie going to the side instead of vertical. Just to see if there’s a way to maximize the embroidery from 12 x 8 instead of 8 x 12. If this makes any sence.
I don’t think that calls for an entire video. I assume you want to know the max size the em-1010 can embroider. It says that in the specs of the machine and also comes with a hoop that allows you to embroider as large as it can go. 23.6”L x22”W. Maybe I’m not understanding so correct me if I’m not understanding your question.
@@adubbproductions Thanks for for the reply and sorry for the late response. A pullover hoodie, the only way to load it, how I scene it from your last video is load from the buttom not from the head part. Now my question is how could we load a pullover hoodie from left to right instead of up and down. That way I’m trying to maximize the actual embroidery from ◀️▶️ so my image would be on its side instead of 🔼🔽. Thanks again love your videos bro I’ve been following you for awhile now. Great work
Hi! Alan thanks for the video, but I believe one could have assigned the 3 stitches in the software one thread color, and then had the embroidery machine set to pull the frame out to place the fabric down after the 1st tack down. Then pull the frame out a 2nd time to cut the fabric after the fabric tack down all while using 1 color thread. Please comment. Thanks!
All while using one color for the placement, tack down and satin stitch? Three consecutive colors. No, can’t be done. If all the stitches are the same color you can only select one color on the machine and you can’t assign several different commands to one single color.
Hi! Alan Sorry!! I’m just getting back late to this reply. But maybe it can’t be done on the Ricoma’s. I have a Bernina E16 made by Melco which is a 16 needle Embroidery Machine, and it does allow me to use just one color thread for the placement, tack down stitch, and the satin stitch if I CHOOSE to have the satin stitch the same color. So, YES!! It can be done. All 3 stitches can be done with 1 color thread at least using The Bernina E16 made by Melco. Which is the same machine as the Melco EMT 16X - I’ve had mine over 8 years. Mine was purchased through a Bernini Dealer and not Melco they partnered with Bernina. Thanks for the reply.
I’m sorry Mary. I though this was a Ricoma video and we were talking about what I did in the video. I didn’t know i made a video talking about your melco. Oh ok. Understood. Can your Melco embroider anything without a computer connected to it?
Oh! Don’t be sorry!, but I’m sure you have the answer to that question; therefore why would you ask a question knowing you know the answer too!. Maybe being sarcastic!!!! But, however no more than that new Siser cutter you just got “The Romeo”. Can you run that cutter without a computer? I THINK NOT. But that’s just today’s technology would you say. A computer is needed for every craft that we do with whatever machine that we use. Even using your Ricoma Machines you can’t stitch YOUR digitized designs without loading it from a computer to your Ricoma machines. Yes! Maybe the built in designs on the Ricoma you can stitch without a computer which them designs general are no use to the owner for the most part. So Really you need a computer with your Ricoma as well, so we both need a computer to use our Embrodiery machines to our satisfaction. Would you say!! Thank for the reply.
@@MJquilter No. that’s not correct. Your machine can’t run at all without a computer. Even after digitizing. I can load files on my machine with tons of Embroidey designs and have at it all day with no computer. You gotta yell the full story not just buts and life’s is my point. The entire story is that a melco machine does not embroider independently at all without a computer. The Ricoma does. You can’t compare the two because If your computer goes down you can’t embroider at all so when it comes to appliqué and being able to program a one color thread design I’m not to concerned. I would much rather have an embroidery machine that is not dependent on a computer. It like a half embroidery machine. The don’t have any brains. The computer and the software on your Comintern are their brains so programming a stitch isn’t very impressive considering is my point. No shots I’m just saying since we are talking about Melco. We can walk about melco and the plastic build quality. Ricoma is solid metal. In can go on if you would like to compare machine but there isn’t much to compare. Melco’s deliver good quality stitches just like I’ve seen most machines deliver but not being able to run without a computer to me that’s not an embroidery machine. Maybe a half one. Melco has to do better.
nice video i also have the chroma software (inspire)along twith the MT-2 do you recommend the upgrade or just sending the artwork out.. all input is much valued for this is a new road traveled... thanks and please subscribe
Thank you for the video, it really helped me see things clearer using chroma plus.
Thank You Bro. I'm learning Chroma Luxe and getting the hang of it.
Allan, I have been watching your videos for a while now and now this makes sense to me. Thank you for sharing!!!
My pleasure.

No problem Taryn. I try to give it in a way that makes sense so people can understand. I’m glad to help.
Killin it! Keep them up please it helps us beginners with the learning curve
Thanks for the tutorial. I have Chroma software and I have never used it. This tutorial was very helpful and easy to grasp. I will definitely try to fo it.🙂
I would think that a woman of your skill would have this down packed already. Glad I could help. 😁
@@adubbproductions Nope! Chroma is confusing 😕
I use Embrilliance for the basics and pay a digitizer to do the rest. But I am determine to learn.
Hey there 👋
What's up
Can I ask you a question..?
One color can be used if you add a frame out command at the end of the placement and tackdown stitch. But otherwise great video !
Thank you. When you add those commands in the software the machine is supposed to do it but in my case it doesn’t I always have to add the commands on the machine so I have to make them different colors so I have something to add the command to. I’ll try again to see.
@@adubbproductions nice. I'll keep that in mind as well. I have learned tons from watching your videos. i appreciate them all
Perfect timing! Order came through to have this done.
Glad I could help.
I'm bout to try this with your settings. Thanks!!!!!!!
No problem. Thanks as always Kiona.
Thanks my guy 🤟🏾
No Problem.

Thanks for this video
YEAH MAN! This is great and how I enjoy playing with the designs to figure out simple skills like this. Very important “as you mentioned in your earlier videos” to play around with the different features to learn these and other things this software can do. As always real, great videos!
One of the best things you can do in any software is just play around with the settings to see what they do and try to understand the purpose.
@@adubbproductions So true.
Wow. I saw a video earlier where someone was struggling with doing this…🤔thanks for the video. I’ve itching to try this on my PE800.
What a coincidence. 🤔 no problem. Thanks for watching.
Lol thought you was doing no more digitizing the videos. Thank you I appreciate it
Lol. Bro. You already know. I try to do what I can. No problem.
Thank you. Very helpful. You should do more digitizing videos. Nice job!
They don’t get a lot of views. Most of my subscribers don’t want to see them i guess.
@@adubbproductionshey do you teach Chrome on the side?
New cutter from Siser
The comments are going to be wild on this video. Lol
Why do you say that?

Thank you! Chroma gives me anxiety.
Nothing to be intimidated by. Just get in there and start playing around with it.
Does this apply to inspire?
I do not think inspire has all this features but I don’t know because I’ve never had inspire. Try it out and let us know.
Do you know why I’m not able to convert all 3, it’s only allowing me to change the main embroidery color, the placement stitch and tack down stitch will not change different colors.
What version of Chroma do you have?
@@adubbproductions Chroma Luxe, I think I figured it out. I had to go in to commands and change the color to 3, this whole time I did not know how to change the color, really just now trying to digitize a design myself, I had been outsourcing.
Wow
Is the appliqué option only in Luxe, anybody know??
How did you get appliqué fonts
They come in the software.
I have a quick question I’m not sure if you still upload but on 8:10 & 8:11 between those 2 times while aligning your letters you have to adjust it a little so that it was completely aligned can you please tell me how you did that I’m trying my hardest to figure it out but I can’t seem to get it entirely it leaves me with the option that I may have to align everything individually which is super time consuming could you help me out please
