DECORATION TECHNIQUES

Embroidery

This classic, upscale decoration method produces designs by stitching threads directly to a garment. Your client’s artwork is converted into a digital format so embroidery machines know how to efficiently stitch the graphic with optimal coverage. High resolution artwork is best to ensure legibility, as embroidered designs are usually small.

Best Used for:
• Most apparel items
• Textured fabrics
• Sublimated shirts
• Patterns and prints
