Why would I choose embroidery?

Embroidered garments are usually preceived as more luxurious and durable than
other forms of garment decorating. Additionally, in smaller quantities, embroidered
garments are often less expensive to produce and take less time to obtain. Finally,
many people simply prefer embroidery to other decorating options because of its
rich, embossed look and feel.

Is there an order minimum?

That's one of our great advantages. For many items there is no minimum! For
some items the minimum can be as low as 6 or 12 items. We do offer quantity
discounts. These start at 12 pieces and more. Please ask.

How long does it take to get embroidered garments?

Embroidery orders normally take 1-2 weeks (5-10 business days), depending upon
the garment selection and availability, and whether your logo has been previously
digitized or not.

Suppose I need it faster than the normal embroidery order?

Call or email us! We'll work out what is, and isn't possible for what you need and let you
know just how much it will cost.

How much does the embroidery cost?

Embroidery is priced according to stitch count. If you've never had your
design digitized, there will be a digitizing charge based upon the size, number
of stitches and complexity of your design. Simply email or fax your your design
to us and we'll give you a custom estimate of the cost to digitize and the
approxiamate stitch count for embroidery.

To what does digitizing my design refer?

Digitizing is a a one-time charge for turning your artwork into a
standard embroidery machine language that most embroidery machines
can read and use to reproduce your design on a garment. Our digitizing
is industry standard and can be used over in the future as long as you
do not change your design (size and garment type). The digitized program
instructs the embroidery equipment on the thread color, type, size and
location of the stitch on the garment. In some special cases it can be
necessary to know the garment and fabric prior to digitizing in order
to insure the optimum result. Digitizing your design is a very important
step in achieving a high-quality finished product. Digitizing a design is not
simply conversion from a picture to a digital format but is a specialized
graphic design process. Many logos have elements (such as very fine
lines, or highly detailed images) that cannot be fully represented in an
embroidered image. The digitizing process includes graphically determining
how to best represent the logo in an embroidered form that works well in
the embroidery process while still maintaining the integrity of the logo
design. When we look at your artwork we will discuss any changes
that may be necessary to make at that time if any.

How much does digitizing cost?

As we've said, it is based upon the stitch count, size and complexity
of your logo or design. Email or fax your design to us and we'll give you
a custom estimate of the cost to digitize and the approxiamate stitch
count for embroidery.

What about Monograming a garment?

A variety of standard fonts are available for lettering using simple
text and punctuation.

What kind of artwork do I provide for embroidery?

You can provide your logo or design artwork in a variety of ways
from a printed image, even a sketch to a ready-to-use digitized
embroidery file. The difference is how much it will cost and how
long it will take to be ready to produce your garments.Sketched
artwork takes the longest and is the most expensive method.
Most of the time artwork is provided in a computer file format as
either Finished Artwork, or Rough Artwork, or in a Printed Format.

What about color choice?

Let us help you with that. In many cases the best choice
for the final embroidered design color(s) is not necessarily standard
design color(s). On many garments a contrasting or tonal color
choice might appear far more attractive and cost less than the
standard design color(s). For example, if your logo design contains
a specific shade of green, it might well clash excessively with a
shirt in a different shade of green so that a single color embroidered
design in a cantrasting or tonal (tone-on-tone) color may work better.

What about the garment I choose - does that make a difference?

It can and often does make a difference. We already mentioned
that garment color and logo color(s) are an important consideration.
Type of fabric and fabric weight can be equally as important. For
example, very light-weight fabrics do not do well with embroidered
designs that are very complex with high stitch counts. Special
fabrics like silk, satin or heavy fabric like canvas may require
modification as well -- we'll help you with all this and more.

Can I see a sample before my garments are done?

We provide a sample sew out on a piece of material that will
be simular to the garment that the design will go on. If you would
like your final logo sewn on a sample this can be arranged also.
However, keep in mind that sew-outs and sample garments take
time and will increase the time your order takes to complete.

How about additional orders?

For repeat garments it's easy. We already have all the
information available to do an exact repeat of a garment.
Just email or call us and we will be happy to help you.
Chosing a different garment and colors is often just about
as easy. Just let us know what you need.
