Embroidery is a type of needlework that involves stitching thread into a garment or accessory. It is a beautiful way to add a personal touch to hats, bags, shirts, and more. This form of needlework is one of the oldest, with some examples dating back 30,000 years! While hand embroidery is still popular today, commercial embroidery offers many customization options that can be quickly manufactured at a large scale. Embroidery may easily add professionalism and quality craftsmanship to your project with the aid of contemporary production techniques.

Embroidery Process

An embroidery is an art form that takes time and precision to create beautiful designs. There are five steps to the process: digitizing the design, thread and machine setup, prep garments, embroidering the design, and finishing the piece. We take the time to choose the perfect threads for your design and load the digital file into the embroidery machine. It tells the machine where to sew and what to put down. We prepare each garment for the machine with a process called “hooping.” It ensures that each piece is properly embroidered in the right place and position. The final step is to finish the piece, including adding a trim or fine detail.

First, the design is digitized or turned into a digital image. So, it ensures that the machine knows exactly where to sew each stitch. Next, the thread is chosen to match the colors in the design. The thread is then loaded into the machine, and the garments are prepared for embroidery. This process, called “hooping,” secures the garment in place to be properly embroidered.

Embroidery Production Time

Production time varies depending on the number of stitches and design complexity. The next step is to properly digitize your design, thread the machine with the correct colors, and place hooped garments. And it will begin stitching at the push of a button. Our technicians trim stray threads and review each piece to ensure it meets our rigorous quality standards once the machine finishes its run.

Embroidery Types

Whatever your requirements, we’re here to help you choose the best solutions for them. The choices listed below are just a few examples:

Standard Embroidery

We use this method most often for embroidery. The majority of the logos you’ve seen have been stitched in this manner. It is ideal for headwear, sneakers, and anything in between. Do you want to know if your design will work? Inquire!

Puff Embroidery

If you want to make your design more three-dimensional, try puff embroidery. Block lettering or basic forms are best suited for this technique. Puff embroidery is not advised for designs with intricate detail or little text.

Tackle Twill

This style involves cutting cloth into a specific form and placing it on another material with a nylon twill. Sports jerseys and athletic teams are the best examples. When used with solid text and digits, this style works best.

Patch Application

Visit our store for design ideas and look at the many patch designs we provide. Consider how these would look on your desired garment. We can apply these to just about anything with a simple satin stitch.

Custom Embroidery FAQs

What is the average time it takes to embroider apparel?

We guarantee that our clients receive their orders from 7 to 10 business days after they are received, one of the quickest turnarounds in the sector. However, we may meet even the most rigorous deadlines if you need your items faster (we realize that things happen).

What kind of thread can you work with?

While you can utilize a few different threads, two kinds stick out the most in commercial embroidery: rayon and polyester. It all comes down to personal choice and the desired end product. Some people like the natural sheen of rayon, while others prefer polyester’s tenacity. Regardless of your preference, we want to offer our clients as many alternatives as possible; therefore, you have options available.

How big may my design be?

The suggested size for embroidery designs is four to five inches wide; however, we have a stellar track record working with our clients. If we can accommodate your need (and usually can), we’ll be delighted to do so.

Is there any way to add tackle twill?

Yes, we certainly do! On the other hand, Tackle twill is not available as a selectable service on our website.

We are the ideal people to choose if you need anything embroidered. Our group of top-tier artists and experts is eager to collaborate with you to ensure that you can realize your idea.
