When it comes to digitizing hat
embroidery, a lot of people think it's easy just to slap some artwork on and
call you done. Well, it's not always as easy as you think. Embroidery Digitizing do encounter problems when digitizing hat
embroidery, unless they really know what they are doing. There are two types of
caps, usually called structured caps and unstructured caps."
Structured caps
When digitizing the embroidery of
structured caps (also known as six panel caps), two rules should be followed
for effective embroidery. First, the design should start from the bottom of the
cover, and then it should start from the center and move to the left and right
parts of the design.
Embroidering a hat in this way is
called outside the center. By executing in this order, we can reduce the pull
and push effects. Embroidering on a structured hat is easier than on an
unstructured hat because the hard supporting fabric within the structured hat
helps to maintain its shape.
A very important problem in structural
caps is that there is a seam in the middle, which causes the thread to fall
into the central seam. We can avoid this situation by digitizing a horizontal
thread line on the seam, and then placing the design on the seam that will not
fall into the seam now. In this technology, it is important that the design is
already in the middle. Cleaning joints, however, is another job in itself.
Unstructured caps
The five panels and unstructured caps
are not constrained by the central output rule. The reason is that they can be
easily clipped on the hat stand and can be embroidered into a flat surface. The
unstructured cap has a natural low tilt crown; Bakram is not added to the
crown. During the sewing process on the machine, the fabric of the unstructured
hat changes more, because there is no hard fabric under it.
Design dimension on cap
There are some restrictions on the
size of the cap. The most common size for the front of the cover is 2.5 inches
high by 5 inches wide. The maximum suitable size on the cover is 2.75 inches
high x 5.5 inches wide. Beyond this point, there will be some sewing problems.
The maximum size of the back of the
cover is 1.5 inches high x 2.5 inches wide, while the text is arched, the
digitized text should be 0.5 inches high x 4.25 inches wide. Logo or text can
also be embroidered on the side of capitals. Dimensions shall not exceed 1 inch
high by 2.5 inches wide. These guidelines are best followed when submitting a
digital order for hat embroidery.
Similarly, there are some limitations
on the size of the sun visor. The working space of the sun visor is very small.
The proper size of the sun visor is 1 inch to 1.25 inches high by 4 inches
wide.
3D puff is also known as raised embroidery
3D or PUFF embroidery is a simple and
unique technology. foam is used under the digitization of embroidery, which
improves the design or letters and gives a 3D impression. 3D foam provides a
complete creative promotion for your design. This type of cap embroidery
digitization is usually used for baseball caps, sports caps, etc. But not all
designs or letters can be 3D upgraded. Too many wide or too small designs
cannot be converted to PUFF. The same rules apply to letters.
The seaming is used to cut foam to
produce high-density satin stitching. One important thing to remember is to
always use appropriate foam materials in puff embroidery. Since the surplus foam
must be removed after sewing, if the foam is very hard or very hard, it is
difficult to remove and may damage the embroidery.
