What is Embroidery?
Embroidery is a stylish way to decorate any garment or patch with machine needlework. Send us your design and our expert team will embroider it onto your garments. There are many thread colours for the custom embroidery stitches.
How is Embroidery Priced?
Pricing is based on the number of stitches that our machine needs to make, the number of items being embroidered and the location of the embroidery.

What are the embroidery minimums?
For embroidery, our minimum quantities are 12 or 24 pieces depending on the item. See popular styles below:
