Your logo, built from thread

Embroidery does not sit on top of the fabric. It is stitched into it. You get raised texture, clean edges and a finish that says the brand is serious. We run multi-head embroidery machines that stitch several pieces at once, so every cap and polo in the order comes out matching.

When should you choose embroidery over printing?

Pick embroidery when the piece needs to feel premium and last for years, especially on heavier or structured items:

  • Snapbacks, dad hats and beanies
  • Polos and button-up work shirts
  • Jackets, including denim and leather
  • Uniforms and crew apparel
  • Bags

Thread loves logos, names and clean artwork. For big full-front graphics or photo detail, go with screen printing on bulk runs, or direct-to-garment and direct-to-film on small ones. Plenty of crews mix it up: embroidered polos for staff, screen printed tees for the event.

Four ways to stitch it

  • Flat embroidery. The classic. Handles detail well and works on most fabrics.
  • 3D puff. Stitched over foam for a raised, sculpted logo. Made for caps.
  • Patches. Your design embroidered as a patch and applied to the garment.
  • Custom fill patterns. Your logo repeated as an embroidered background layer for a look nobody else has.

How does the embroidery process work?

  1. Send the art. Artwork file, placement and garment info.
  2. Digitizing. We turn your artwork into a stitch file the machine can read. This step decides the quality of the final piece, so we sweat the details.
  3. Hooping. Each garment is locked into a frame so nothing shifts mid-stitch.
  4. Stitching. The machine lays down the design color by color, and every piece gets checked before it is packed.

Art that stitches clean

Vector files and high-resolution artwork digitize best. Tiny text and hairline details are tough to render in thread, and they do not work with 3D puff. If your logo has fine points, we will tell you during the art review what will hold up and suggest tweaks.

FAQ

Questions people ask

What is the minimum order for custom embroidery?

Our embroidery minimum is 6 pieces per design. Send the quantity and garments with your quote request and we will confirm the details.

Do you charge a digitizing fee?

Only on small orders. Digitizing is free on 24 or more embroidered pieces and on reorders of the same logo. Under 24 pieces it is a one-time $45 per logo, shown on your quote, with no other setup fees.

What is 3D puff embroidery?

3D puff embroidery is stitched over a foam base, which raises the design off the fabric like the logos on major league caps. It works best on bold designs without thin lines or small lettering.

What do I need to send for an embroidery quote?

Send your artwork file, where you want it placed, the garment and the quantity. We need to see the artwork because the stitch count of the design is part of the quote.
