EMBROIDERY SET-UP

To enable your own design to be embroidered onto any of our clothing or accessories an embroidery control disc must first be produced which controls the actual compurtised embroidery machine. The steps required are as follows:

CREATE YOUR ARTWORK

The quality of your final logo will depend on the quality of your original artwork. if you are a company or a club and already have an established logo, then probely a good quality letterhead, brochure or a car sticker will be adequate for us to work from. Sometimes we may have to alter some parts of your logo (particularly very small lettering) to meet the parameters required for clear and precise embroidery.
If you are creating a brand new logo a few simple 'rules of thumb' will ensure a good finished result.

*Lettering should be at least 5mm tall.

*Any 'stand alone' lines should be at least 1mm thick.

*Although up to 8 colours can be used, designs with no more than 4 colours seem to give the best results.

Most designs produced for garment embroidery fit within an area of 90mm x 90mm. If you need to have caps embroidered, your design must not be more than 55mm tall x 90mm wide.
