Keep it simple: Bold, clean designs work best. Avoid tiny details that won't translate well.
Text size matters: Keep text at least 1/4" tall for readability.
Consider thread count: More colors mean higher costs. Simplify when possible.
Choose appropriate fabrics: Stable fabrics like polos and caps work best.

Embroidery uses thread to create designs, resulting in a textured, professional finish. Screen printing uses ink and is better for large, colorful designs. Embroidery is more durable and has lower minimums, while screen printing is more cost-effective for large orders.
While embroidery works on most fabrics, stable materials like cotton, polyester blends, and canvas work best. Stretchy or very thin fabrics may require special backing or techniques.
Embroidery works best with simple, bold designs. Fine details smaller than 1/16" may not translate well. Text should be at least 1/4" tall for best readability.
Most embroiderers can work with vector files (AI, EPS, PDF) or high-resolution images. They'll convert your artwork to a digitized embroidery file (DST format) for production.
