Why would I choose embroidery?

Embroidered garments are usually perceived as more luxurious and durable than other forms
ofof 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. And you don't pay a premium to order just one or
two garments, you get the same price regardless of the quantity. Digitizing and Setup Fees
may still apply to small quantities.

How long does it take to get embroidered garments?

Embroidery orders normally take 1-3 weeks, depending upon the garment selection and
availability, quantity of the order 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. Usually the rush charge is 20%

How much does the embroidery cost?

You don't pay premiums for small quantities with us! That is a real benefit because you don't
have to batch requests, or wait to order. You can order as you need items. A shipping fee will
be assessed for small orders and short deadlines.

There can be additional cost depending upon the complexity of your design or logo. Certain
applications of embroidery, such as a full back, may also require additional charges. 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 design to us and we'll give
you a custom estimate of the cost to digitize and the stitch count for decoration costs. Some
elements can not be done in embroidery - so some slight changes may have to be made to
have a fantastic looking logo in embroidery.


What about monogramming a garment?

A variety of standard fonts and monogram styles are available. The minimum charge for a
monogram or name is $7.00 on a customer supplied garment and $3.00 and up on any other
item, depending on size and garment.


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 finished embroidered piece before my garments are done?

Sample sew outs are available upon request. ($35)  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. Also all digitizing
charges will have to be paid up front- then major edits in your design can add more charges.  
Be sure what you want to do before we get to the digitizing stage.

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. Choosing a
different garment and colors is often just about as easy. Just let us know what you need.
