High-Quality Stitching

Not all embroidery applications are equal.  Everything from thread quality to finishing are factors to consider when qualifying quality vs. price.  As an art-form, good quality manifests in attention to detail… Consider the following:

• Embroidery thread is designed to reflect light, giving it a “shiny” appearance.  A large selection of embroidery thread colours will help communicate your organization’s brand more effectively by matching your corporate or team colours accurately.
• Once you have submitted your artwork for digitizing (converting the supplied artwork into a compatible, digital .DST file format, readable by embroidery machines), did the digitizing artist utilize the thread and line-up the stitches to effectively capture the light and maximize the reflective properties of the thread.
• Proper garment hooping (mounting and centering the fabric in a cymbal-like hoop to keep it stable and secure) will prevent unsightly puckering.
• High thread-count… A more compact threading galvanizes the image and provides a more elegant, tactile feel of your brand.
• Finishing – clipping the back mounting fabric and trimming loose ends, enhances wear-ability and prevents unraveling.

Do you want to represent your image with all of the above at the lowest possible price?… We do!

Puff Embroidery

Puff Embroidery significantly adds dimension and sophistication to any stitching application.  Successful use of this type of appliqué “begs” to be touched by the intended audience – a great way to draw attention to your brand.

Chenille Embroidery

French for “caterpillar”, chenille embroidery is identifiable by its short, fuzzy pile, that has a soft carpet-like feel. The stitching is carpet-like and resembles a fuzzy caterpillar. Common applications for chenille embroidery are athletic, varsity-type clothing and crests, cheer-leading uniforms, patches and lettering, and pennants.

Tackle Twill

An embroidery appliqué commonly found in hockey and baseball jerseys, a quality tackle twill application involves sewing a layer of nylon twill to the fabric. Usually for numbers or names, multiple layers of the twill (usually contrasting tones), enhances the look and definition of the image.
