Flat embroidery
Clean, versatile stitching for logos, typography, motifs, chest marks, sleeves, backs, and detail placements.
Precise everyday brandingThread, texture & dimensional branding
Brand detail, built in thread.
Good embroidery is more than a stitch count. Artwork, digitizing, thread, backing, density, placement, and the garment beneath it all shape the finished result.

The production decision
Digitizing turns artwork into a construction plan.
An embroidery file tells the machine where to place stitches, in what sequence, at what density, and with which underlay. That file needs to be developed for the size, fabric, artwork, and technique, not simply exported from a logo.
We sample the actual placement on the intended garment or comparable fabric, then assess scale, legibility, puckering, coverage, color, and overall balance before the bulk run.
The working sequence
From artwork to a production-ready stitch file
The physical sample resolves details that cannot be judged reliably from a digital embroidery preview alone.
-
01
Review the artwork
Confirm scale, minimum detail, colors, placement, fabric, garment construction, and technique.
-
02
Digitize by application
Plan stitch types, direction, sequence, density, underlay, and pull compensation for the substrate.
-
03
Select thread & backing
Choose thread colors and the stabilizer, topping, or foam required by the material and effect.
-
04
Run the strike-off
Sample at actual size and placement so clarity, coverage, tension, and garment response can be assessed.
-
05
Approve & embroider
Document the approved reference, hoop consistently, and complete the production run.
-
06
Trim & inspect
Remove excess backing or threads as specified and check position, shape, surface, and garment condition.
Better inputs. Fewer assumptions.
What to send, and what we check.
Your side
What to provide
- ArtworkVector artwork is preferred; include a high-resolution reference and exact wording for text.
- Final sizeWidth and height in millimeters or inches, not only "left chest" or "large back."
- PlacementDistance from a stable garment point, plus a marked mockup when the location is unusual.
- Garment planFabric, color, panel, quantity, size range, thread references, and the finish you want.
Our checkpoint
Quality considerations
- Placement & scalePosition is checked from consistent garment reference points and compared across sizes.
- Stitch formationDensity, tension, registration, fills, satin edges, and small details are assessed for clarity.
- Garment responsePuckering, distortion, needle damage, show-through, and backing comfort are reviewed.
- Clean finishLoose threads, jump stitches, exposed backing, patch edges, and surface marks are checked.
The approved reference
A specification becomes useful when you can compare production against it.
Words such as "premium," "soft," "vintage," or "large" are open to interpretation. A physical sample, exact measurement, approved swatch, artwork size, or signed proof gives the team a shared standard.
- 01 Define the decision
- 02 Review a physical result
- 03 Record the approval
- 04 Inspect bulk against it
Before you enquire

Ask about your productVector artwork is preferred, but a high-resolution file can also be reviewed. The production file still needs to be digitized for the actual size, fabric, and stitch technique.
Sometimes, but there are practical limits based on font shape, stitch width, fabric, and final size. We may recommend enlarging, simplifying, or changing the treatment for legibility.
Flat embroidery sits close to the fabric and supports more detail. Puff embroidery builds over foam for dimension and works best with bold, adequately spaced shapes.
Some placements are possible, but construction, hoop access, thickness, and distortion need to be reviewed. It is often cleaner to embroider a panel before garment assembly.
Yes. A strike-off or garment sample confirms thread color, size, detail, placement, and fabric response before the full run.
