Welcome to our little corner of the Internet. Kick your feet up and stay a while.
A customer recently called asking us if we could create custom embroidered jackets for his car club. Of course we said we would love to do that, and we just needed to see the club’s logo in order to provide an estimate. “Well, that’s where there’s a problem,” he said. “We don’t have a logo; we just have some photos …
“How quickly can I get some custom patches made?” is a question we commonly get. We had a customer contact us and explain that he needed 20 patches within five days. We asked for art to estimate the job. The only art available initially was this. While we are sometimes able to work some magic with the art customers supply, …
When a customer wants a logo embroidered on camo caps, we’re always intrigued. Camouflage hats are an interesting choice for logo wear. The designed purpose of camouflage clothing is, of course, to make the wearer more difficult to see in a given environmental setting. Guess what? The camouflage patterns do a superb job of concealing certain types of logos. Go figure! So …
Below is a time compressed video of a full jacket back embroidery design we did for the Hoh Indian Tribe, which finds its home west of Seattle on the Pacific side of the Olympic Peninsula. We first helped the tribe identify a soft shell jacket that fit their members’ needs. Then we worked with them on the design accuracy and …

We started off talking about embroidered sports …
We had an inquiry from a potential client in New York about embroidered luggage. This person asked why every shop he had contacted had said it could not be done while we have a blog post that talks about how it is possible to embroider luggage. He supplied the photo featured above. Why this cannot be successfully accomplished is actually a two …

They are eager to help new decorators get off the ground and will help the decorator build a “custom” website with a full catalog. Want to know how to spot one of …
The image above shows different beanies embroidered with the logo of one of our clients. If you were the client, which one would you prefer? When most people think of workwear embroidery, they usually think in terms of embroidered caps, shirts, and jackets. Caps, shirts, and jackets are a relatively easy medium with which to work. Most embroidery shops with decent …
We have general policy to not do work on customer-supplied items. As early as 2010 we wrote blog posts about five reasons why we instituted this policy. Nevertheless, every once in a blue moon we will find a peculiar circumstance that causes us to waive this for a particular client. This holiday season, we granted three waivers. “Maybe this time …
Periodically we have to dig through a box of old stitchouts of logos. During this process, we sometimes come across the embroidered logo stitchout we did for the Pointe du Hoc Foundation, whose original art is featured below. We always stop for a moment, partly to contemplate the challenge that cliff represented to those troops, and partly to admire the detail …
