We have a new embroidery and screen printing client in the greater Seattle area who came to us in desperation. This junior football team shared with us that their season was about to begin. Three months prior, they had ordered team uniforms, embroidered coaches’ jackets, and other spirit wear from “the cheapest bidder.” Nothing had yet arrived. The team sportswear …
Providing quality embroidered team uniforms to Juneau, Alaska
We were pleased to have been selected as the logo wear vendor for a team in Juneau, AK. What made this embroidery job interesting was the delivery.

How helping a father save the day for his daughter led us to become a distributor of Augusta Sportswear.
We recently took a call from a client desperate for help. We’ll call him Robert. Robert’s daughter, we’ll call her Elizabeth, is a cheerleader at a local high school near Tacoma, WA. Elizabeth’s cheerleading uniform did not fit her well because her torso is longer than average. Consequently, her belly was showing when she went through her cheer routines. …
Comparing the quality of embroidered caps
We just completed an order of embroidered caps for a client who wanted a specific label of cap.

If you go looking for “really cheap embroidery,” you’re not only going to find it, but you’re also going to regret it. As an example, we have a client with 14 different thread …
Embroidered logos on moisture-wicking or dri-mesh shirts
Something to consider when buying custom embroidered shirts is whether the fabric is a good match for your organization’s embroidered logo. Usually this is not an issue. However, some embroidered logos with very dense stitch patterns will cause puckering around the logo on some fabrics. For example, if you like the 100% polyester dri-mesh moisture-wicking sorts of fabrics and your …
Embroidery for effect may require customer patience
We are working with a client who manufactures granite counter tops. The company’s logo in print and on their website features a granite “look.” The challenge was to translate that granite look into thread for embroidered shirts and embroidered caps. It would have been easy to tell the customer, “No, you can’t acheive that appearance with thread” and then work …
Embroidered Work Jackets and Work Shirts
Yes, we offer embroidered work jackets, even the heavy duty types. We had a customer in Tacoma ask us for embroidered jackets from Carhartt and embroidered shirts made by Riggs.
