Fabrics, Embroidery and Designs - Aifi football academy

Hello dear friends, what a good start to the week with this work by Aifi the International Academy of Children's Soccer, in short it is a superlog that they use to digitize the logo was a great challenge, very different way of working to all the previous ones, let's see how do we do it.

This is a very complete isologo, combination of ball, star, stripes of uniforms, circle and text with shadow of color, that could more define them? It was all this I saw, wow! how to work it so that it looks good in a cap that is an embroidery that must be carried out in a semicircular base, I already knew that several tests would come before doing 50, first it is to go to wilcom and secure everything.

To carry out this embroidery only with hillo, (without applique), we use the tool called flatten that fulfills the function of eliminating stitches under a figure and opens the space as it is where the figure above goes, with it we can reduce stitches although sometimes no, depending on the case. To embroider in caps I do not like to use it since it usually moves because a circular frame is used, although to avoid that kind of inconvenience the machine is placed at a speed of 400 MTR which is at low speed, but in this case I decided to use it already that the color of the cap serves me as part of the design, not to do everything in thread, so several figures were flattened and we achieved that the final letters were just on the fabric of the cap, since it is acrylic, it is one more cap hard and if we put several layers of thread the embroidery would distort.

First the running stitch is made to give firmness to the area to be embroidered, I put it 2 times and then make the selvedge of the circle with a thickness of 4 mm.

And the star, first I make a complete star and then a bar of the thickness of the stripes is made and it is flattened one by one until achieving the required division, the color of the cap will help us to see black stripes without having to make them with thread and we save stitches.

Then these red parts are ready

To give more shine to the ball or the embroidery itself, I preferred to put yarn in the black parts of the ball.

And the white part of the ball with a closed stitch (tatami).

Continued with a black stitch to give the ball more definition.

Having then our ball ready...

We continued with the star, which we also had to flatten, although it seems that no but also the thin line of the star can interrupt the harmony of the embroidery.

This program also has an option to see what could be called the embroidery skeleton, so we know that we can flatten and not our beautiful sports logo.

        <center> X-ray in Thread</center>

Here we have made that red shadow that is below the text, although it looks like a base letter, but if we make it complete it will cause problems when embroidering, the thread will never be the same as print, so we must also flatten and imagine where they will go the stitches for the final letter of white color.

Although in the original logo you can see another shadow in black, in addition to the shadow of the red base but we can not do that in embroidery, so we will only put the white letters and that's it, we'll know that the black background of the cap will do that job for us and will have black shadow without us placing it;)

And so we have managed to get our design, something tedious but totally creative.

Now get to work with the embroidery on our ZGM machine that brings frame for cap and we can do 2 simultaneously. In this way we must place the frame.

We place the design on the machine, and begin to embroider, in this case we do not use pelón because it is an acrylic cap and does not require interfacing for that area, only for side embroidery. She will be doing all the embroidery according to how we carry out the design, as it is the same order.

She will make the ball... I love

To then make the star and the respective text Aifi

And so we continue doing many other...

And some more ...

I really liked being able to carry out this logo of this Foundation dedicated to sports for children, I hope they continue to grow more in their schools.

Thanks for visiting me ... Happy day
