That seemed like an insane amount of work. I can see why someone would charge so much for these given the amount of embroidery, time, thought, and digitizing that goes into these. Great job to you Willy, you nailed the look and style!
Thanks so much for watching! This was a great opportunity to show everyone the attention to detail that is required for a project like this. Thanks for noticing!
Soooo interesting. I didn't know you all create the embroidery. I thought you purchase patches and just sew it on. Lol! Totally worth what you all charge.
This is a really nice video. I will keep many of the techniques in mind. I just want to say that people need to check with the sorority or fraternity organization before producing their letters. I know that will my sorority, I have to have a license to do this; which I plan to work on getting next year.
@Gloria Dillard This is exactly correct. I am licensed with all 4 of the Divine9 Sororities. Licensing is very expensive , but if you produce items with trademarked items (Greek letter name, shield/crest, written name, etc.) for profit you are opening yourself up for legal action from those organizations. For those that question, "How can you trademark/license Greek letters?" it's not the letters individually but the combination which is trademarked and is no different than letter combinations that are trademarked for companies like IBM or AT&T.
Great work on this, a lot of steps and effort went into this one. Seeing you use that sash hoop made me wonder- what MT-1501 compatible hoop could you use to embroider a design that covers the entire back of a hoodie? I imagine I can't use the sash hoop as the hoodie would just be sewn through both sides. Is there any way to use the largest MT hoop that comes with the machine to hoop the hoodie vertically to embroider the entire length of the back? I've only found how to use it horizontally which only gives me about 13.5" of embroidery height (being that I hoop the hoodie so that the bottom opening can slip over the bobbin rail). Any info is greatly appreciated or maybe could be a future video? I know people are always interested on how to do large designs
Question: When embroidering on wool letterman jackets- what needle type and thread weight do you use to embroider on wool body and leather sleeves of letterman jackets? (ex. 75/11 or 80/12 needles)? Thank you!
I have chroma luxe and I don’t have any Greek lettering option for applique..is there a way to do that or will I have to create them manually? Thank you!!
I have a problem with my machine. The thread trims aren’t working as well as they should be. I’m having to go back and cut the threads manually. Is there a fix for this?
You can do 3mm with the right settings. That run stich wont look right. You could of used 65/9 needle and 60w thread or even 75w thread and 60/8 needle to get the small lettering done. I do frat stuff everyday. I hate doing there stuff. They are to damn picky. I hate doing there names like Shawn's little Shawn's big bro or Jackie's little. It's not that much money on frats. And you need to be certified to print there stuff.
do you guys training people I'm not talk about the online I couldn't learn anything I need like class do you guys do that if you guys do I really want that I, bought the machine from RICOMA like five months and still don't know what I, doing
Greek Letters are free to be used. Unless specifically designed as a logo with non-standard Greek letters, they can't put a license to an entire language alphabet.
I am licensed with 5 Greek organizations and I can confirm that it is very expensive. Some you pay a high fee annually and you may or may not sell any items. Others have a lower annual fee, but you pay royalties quarterly based on sales. Each of these organizations trademarks their name spelled out, name in Greek letters, shield/crest, year incorporated, etc. If you make products with trademarked images or names, you are setting yourself up to be sued. I am a member of one of the organizations for which I have a license. I have reported several unlicensed apparel decorators.

HI Brandon, thanks so much for watching. We will certainly pass your video suggestion on to our team!
Wow! Those came out great!
Thanks so much!
Would you precut the applique pieces if you had 20 or more units of this jacket ?
pre-cutting is always a great idea if you can do it.
Question: When embroidering on wool letterman jackets- what needle type and thread weight do you use to embroider on wool body and leather sleeves of letterman jackets? (ex. 75/11 or 80/12 needles)? Thank you!
Hi Jacob! It depends on the lettering, but you can use 75/11!
Awesome Video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Cool. Are you just using stabilizers when testing?
We often use backing when testing!
Really cool

Nice work but the video should start with a PSA that you need a license to sell items with sorority/frat emblems, logos, letters.
Thanks for sharing!

Hey! Question, what were the satin stitch parameters for the Greek Letters on the front? Thank you!
Hi there! What tier of Chroma do you currently have and can you clarify on what you mean on "satin stitch parameters"?
I have Chroma Inspire. As far as the parameters, more so like the stitch length, density, etc.@@ricomatv

How long does it take to get verified as a vendor on garmeo?
We are currently working to get interested vendors approved! It could take a while. We appreciate your patience.
Your math was wrong 23+11 is 34 not 35
Thanks for the feedback, we maybe need a calculator next time!

Dont you need to be a licensed greek supplier
They are gonna want their cut of this.
Heck Yes! It is very expensive and there are lots of regulations. They also take a percentage of your profits
Then I guess it certainly helps when they reach out to you to do these for them!
