Embroidery Limitation Examples:
Fabrics - Heavy woven sweaters do not emroider well, and fine details or small lettering on corduroy fade into fabric.
Design Size - For the left chest, the design should be no more than 4 inches in width or it runs into the under arm area.
Lettering Size - Most lettering cannot be embroidered less than 3/16" in size.
Placement - Letters or designs on pockets do not lend themselves to embroidery since there is no way to use the pocket after the design has been sewn in.

Custom or unique artwork or Logos need to be digitized* directly by us at :
*Digitizing is a process where we take your artwork [graphic file] and use it as a template for creating the computer machine files that run our embroidery machines. We are one of the few embroidery shops that actually do this work in house and do not use a third party for digitizing. That way you can have complete control over the final product by being able to tell us how you want your art to look in stitches.
Custom artwork requires digitizing from your graphic file. This is a one-time process so it will not be necessary for repeat orders.
If you already have camera-ready artwork you can email it to us for review and estimate to create embroidery from that. All we need is a file in windows format of the form: yourlogo.jpg; yourlogo.tif; yourlogo.bmp OR for Graphic Artists any vector art that can be opened in CorelDraw or Adobe Illustrator version 9.0 for Windows.
Step 4: Contact Us
Once you are ready, attach your file to an email and send it to us at .
Step 5: Moolah
To start all work we require a 50% deposit of the estimated price.
