Modern digital embroidery technologies in recent years have allowed garment decorators to acheive results unheard of until today, but there are still a few things to consider when looking into embroidery as an option.

The first step is creating artwork for your embroidery. Keep in mind the spacing and size of letters and objects in your image. Letters and objects can run together if spacing is not done properly. Another thing to consider is the complexity of your design. Because embroidery is billed by the amount of stitches it takes to embroider a design, images with lots of detail or large areas to cover can be more costly than simpler designs.

After your artwork has been refined it needs to be digitized for embroidery. This is a process where your artwork is converted into a stitched pattern. This price can also vary widely according to the stitch count. It is also important to consider the garment you are embroidering and whether or not bunching or other wearability issues occur.

The best way to approach the embroidery process is to have an idea what you want, with size and placement, submit a request for a price quote, then proceed or make adjustments to your art. View the gallery to the left for examples.
