Embroidery
Everyone can benefit from
embroidery, whether you’re a business wanting to promote your
products, a corporation wanting to gift employees and customers at a
special event or even an individual wanting a custom “look” to your
apparel.
Embroidery does have a cost associated with it, obviously, but
considering the added appeal, exposure and prestige that you receive
with a custom-embroidered garment, it is well worth the cost.
Additionally, keep in mind that your first order will always be the
most expensive because you pay the setup charge at that time. Each
order is a custom job so pricing varies, please call us and let's
discuss your unique project.

Frequently Asked
Questions about Embroidery!
Logos / Art / Digitizing
The first step to embroidery is
digitizing your artwork. This means we turn the artwork into a
digital file that contains instructions for the embroidery machine
when the logo is sewn.
If you need a logo created, we can assist you in turning your ideas
into art. Once the logo is “on paper”, we will provide you with
a stitch count estimate for the logo. This stitch count will
determine the cost of the digitizing and ultimately the cost of the
finished embroidery. Designs can generally be digitized within
24 to 48 hours of the order.
Carl
Green runs our in-house digitizing department. Carl is a
graduate of the Seattle Art Institute and he has over 10 years
experience in the apparel business. Carl has been digitizing
logos for the past 8 years and has also run an embroidery shop and has
years of experience running embroidery machines. With that
background, every logo is digitized with both efficiency and beauty in
mind.
The logos we digitize sew out beautifully on the production machines
and also use as few stitches as possible to ensure a beautiful
finished product at the best rate possible. We are so focused on
producing an excellent product for our customers, we do not charge for
sew out samples.
We will need the following from you when you begin to work with us:
-
Your artwork in a .jpg, .gif, or .eps file
-
The type of garment and placement of the logo
-
The size of the logo if it will be placed somewhere other than the front left chest on a shirt, or the front or back of a cap
-
The colors of the logo
We carry over 200 Madiera thread colors, the best thread in the industry. In addition, we will special order any color your logo may need for an additional fee. We are also able to match Pantone colors to our threads to ensure that your logo meets your expectations.
