Custom Embroidery Basics

Custom is the key word. Embroidery makes an everyday ordinary piece of clothing into something much more then just a shirt or a hat or a jacket. Custom allows the wearer of the garment to make a statement. It says who they are or what company they work for. It is a way to personalize service or advertise a business.

 

Not only can a person get embroidery done on their clothing, but they can pick the font they want, and chose the look of the garment by adding whimsical designs or adding a more formal look to the items. Embroidery used to be done with a needle and thread, painstakingly done by hand, but with the invention of new technologies, custom embroidery can be programmed into a digital imaging device and a machine will reproduce what is entered into the machine. 

 

Getting the custom embroidery right is not a simple task. There is picking out the thread colors, getting the precise design concept communicated correctly to the embroider and making sure the order is just right before giving the go ahead to do the embroidery job. The first thing to do when you want a custom embroidery job for a logo is to send in the logo. Usually there is a charge for set up. Due to the fact that digitizing the image and the set up for the kind of clothing the embroidery will be placed on means that there will be an extra charges for this service. 

 

If you are working with a vendor that is online, then there are several steps to complete before the final product will be produced. After the logo is sent to the shop, your logo will be sewn onto a piece of fabric, photographed and then sent back to you via email for review. Just because you see the image of your logo online, there is no guarantee that the color will be correct. This is due to the simple fact that all monitors have different settings.

 

The vendor will then send you a thread book. When thread book arrives, select the correct thread that exactly matches the colors you had in mind. As the customer, confirm the proof, pick the thread color and return the thread book to the vendor. Doing these steps will yield a wonderful result and minimize the chance for error. It’s your logo, so don’t waste time and go with embroidery for excellent results.
