What are the embroidery guidelines?
For a typical left chest embroidery, the design can range between 2" to 4" wide and height is determine by width. We create all designs to sew clean. If you already have your design sewn on apparel and would like it the exact size in most cases we can achieve this. Designs that have small text in them will determine the overall size of sewing. We recommend to complete our request form for any question about your design.

The smallest text we recommend embroidering with any accuracy is 6mm high. We prefer to embroider text not any smaller than 8mm. Example, an Arial font can be sewn smaller than a Lucida Calligraphy font.

How many thread colors of embroidery can I used?
Our machines have 9 needles on each embroidery head. Therefore, we can sew up to 9 thread colors. Most logo are 1 - 6 colors and the average stitch count is less than 7500 stitches.

How do I choose my thread colors?
Choosing your thread colors is a common question that is asked. If you want the logo to be noticed from a distance choose colors that stand out. Example, white threads on a navy or black. If you want the logo to blend more and still be readable from a distance then pick colors that are closer in matching or would blend better. Example, beige threads on a navy would be very readable, but would not stand out as white threads on navy. Another common embroidery of a logo is called tone on tone. Tone on tone embroidery is sewing a thread color that is close to the item color. This is commonly done on expensive items such a Ping shirts.

When we are matching your logo we match it to the closest color of our standard colors which are listed below. If you need an exact PMS color match we can match...we just need to know the PMS color number. There is a small fee to match exact colors, generally around Rs. 500 per colour.

Refer to our shade card in the "Tool" option on the menu and you will get a wide choice of colours to choose from. Please remember that based on your monitor setting colors may appear slightly different than they are when ordered.
