We’re setting records on Embroidery Hub this week! Willy’s embroidering 3d puff on a Richardson cap using 3 layers of 2.5mm of foam! We’re going to show you how we completed this challenge, what materials you want to use, and what look for in the digitizing of these kinds of designs. PLUS, make sure to watch to the end to download the FREE 3d puff design so you can try this challenge at home.

If you enjoyed the last episode where we showed you how to embroider Richardson caps on a multi-head Ricoma at 1000 spm, then you don’t want to miss this episode. Typically, we see 3mm-4mm foam used for 3D puff. Some have even doubled up 3mm foam to achieve 6mm 3D puff. But what we’re attempting is EVEN THICKER than that at 7.5 mm!

Let’s breakdown the profit potential for this cap:

The cost of the cap is $3-$4 at wholesale price.

One piece of foam costs about $.25 so the price for three is about $1

So, the material cost per item is about $5.

The average price of a regular 3d puff embroidered cap is about $25-$30. For this style of 3d puff, you’ll be able to price your cap at about $35-$40.

This means the overall profit potential is $30-$35.

To get started, you’re going to want to use your 80/12 needles and thread that matches the color of your foam. You’re not going to need stabilizer for this project because the Richardson caps are already very structured and don’t need added support or stabilization.

Since this is a very thick foam, make sure to run your machine at a slower speed and make all necessary adjustments to your machine for successful 3d puff embroidery. These tips can be found in our Richardson cap video linked above.

Let’s discuss digitizing on our Chroma software. For three layers of foam, Willy followed these steps:

Used a satin stitch for the lettering.

Lowered the density to 1.

Removed the underlay.

Made the letters as thick as possible by adjusting the push and pull compensation. The thicker the letters, the more the 3d puff stands out.

Make sure the letters were embroidered from the bottom up.

Once you have your cap loaded on your machine, trace your design and then place your 3 layers of foam. We used two pins on either side to secure the 3 layers in place on top of the cap and then pressed start.

After the embroidery is completed, you can clean up the cap with a sharp tool to push any lingering foam inside the thread. Use a heat gun to adhere the thread and foam together.

At Ricoma we’re always pushing the limits to show you what your Ricoma machine is capable of. Make sure to download this design, follow our tips and create this super impressive cap!
