WHAT IS
EMBROIDERY?

There are many factors that play a role in creating quality embroidered apparel. One of our artists will either help you create a design to be digitized or help make the existing art embroidery ready.

Every design is first custom digitized. Once the digitized logo is created we do a sew-out sample of the logo. This process tests the logo on different fabric and thread densities before being applied on the final product.

The Process

Proofs

The process is flexible—you can provide anything from a sketch to a finished logo, and the team will assist throughout.
A wide range of products is available for embroidery, including items like towels and jackets.
Proofs are provided so you can see how your design will look before production.
Low order minimums allow you to test samples on different items or colors before placing a larger order.

Digitizing

Digitizing converts a logo into a stitch file that embroidery machines (like Tajima) can read.
The logo is re-drawn from scratch by the digitizer, not just converted automatically.
Different fabrics require different settings, which affect how the design is digitized.
Various stitch types (like satin, fill, or run stitch) and settings (density, stitch length, underlay) are adjusted based on the design and fabric.

Sew-Out Samples

Sew-out sequences vary depending on the fabric type; for hats, stitching starts in the center and moves outward.
Thread density can be adjusted during this stage to improve the embroidery quality.
This stage also allows testing of different embroidery styles (like puff or flat), as well as sizes and colors.
A sew-out sample is embroidered on the specific fabric it was designed for to test the final result.

Tips for Embroidery

Get the best results with these professional embroidery guidelines

Left Chest

For a typical left chest embroidery, the ideal design has a maximum dimension of 3.5″ – 4.0″ wide. There are exceptions when a design has one dimension that is several times larger than the other. The size of many designs are dictated by the smallest text in the design. We will size your design appropriately based on our experience.

Small Text

The smallest text we can embroider with real accuracy is about 0.25 inch high. We can make adjustments to your design to compensate for slight variations. Typically, a single line of text can only include about 20 characters and spaces before it requires the text to be split into two lines.

Hat Guidelines

The maximum height for a headwear design is 2.50 inch high. On visors, the maximum height is 1 inch tall. The width may be as wide as 5″ or even more. Embroidery on the back of a cap may be included for an additional cost. This is a great location for a Web address or to personalize the cap with a team member’s name.
