We begin this tutorial by going over the materials you’ll need for your rabbit 3D puff patch, including thread, needles, stabilizer and hoops. We also talk about why we decided to use Ricoma’s MT-1501 embroidery machine for this particular project.

Next, we get into the digitizing demo, so you can see how we digitize our image from start to finish. We explain why vector files are the easiest to work with, how to adjust the dimensions and opacity of your design, and much more. We go through the digitizing process for each part of our design, so you can follow along with us step by step.

Once we’ve digitized our design, we move on to the embroidery process. First, we hoop our stabilizer and make sure the backing is secure. We then show you how to set up your design on your machine, and how to use 3D puff foam to give dimension to your project! Lastly, we show you how to clean up your edges using a lighter, and go over how to attach your patch. We also talk about how much profit you stand to make from this project.
