Everything I've Learned about Cap Embroidery Digitizing

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.
