What Is Embroidery?
Embroidery is the process of using a needle and thread to stitch your logo onto any type of fabric item.
Your logo needs to be re-drawn in a format that is acceptable for the embroidery machines to read. There is a one-time charge for the creation of this file.
It is usually called a Digitizing or Setup Charge. It is a one time charge, you should never pay a setup charge for a repeat order with the same logo.
Limitations For Embroidery Orders:
When working with embroidery orders there are a few limitation you need to be aware of:
- Minimum of 10 items must be embroidered on each order you place
- Text on your logo must be larger than 5mm or 1/4" tall
Five Stages To The Embroidery Process
Ever wondered what is involved in an embroidery order? Below we pull back the curtains and give you an inside look at the step by step procedure. If you have any further questions just give us a call we would be glad to help in any way we can.
Stage 1 (Select the product)
Find the product that best fits your needs, if you need help give us a call. Our staff is familiar with our entire product line and can help you find the right product to meet your goals.
Select the style, color, size, and quantity of the products you would like to embroider. The color and fabric of your garment are important. Your logo is custom digitized for each type of fabric.
Stage 2 (Select your logo or image)
It all starts with an Idea! You need to decide what logo or image is going to be used for embroidery.
Keep in mind the larger or more detailed the logo is the more it will cost. Our staff can help you find alternatives to keep costs down and your big detailed logos.
The logo to the right was prepared for a circus company. By removing the fill from the logo and changing the color of the text we managed to reduce the embroidery and setup costs by about 80%. You can see the finished product in step 5.
Stage 3 (Digitization)
In order to embroider an image onto the garment, the logo or image must be digitized.
Our experts use a digitizing program that converts your image into a system of stitches. Our embroiderer will ensure and guarantee that your image looks excellent!
We always prepare a stitch-out (sample) of your logo and can mail you a copy of it our email you a scan of it to make sure it looks just the way you want it.
Stage 4 (Embroidery)
The digitized images are sent to the embroidery machines. The machines use the digital instructions to create your masterpiece.
A very common question is, of course, "How much will it cost to embroider my logo?" The number of stitches that the machine needs to make, the quantity of items being embroidered, and the location of the embroidery determines the total embroidery cost.
Stage 5 (Finished Product & Delivery)
As soon as the embroidery has been completed and double checked for quality and accuracy, we package and send it direct to your door.
The entire process usually takes two to four weeks.
