Design Tipsasa Pondering some embroidered items for your business, club, school, family, or even yourself? It may seem overwhelming at first, with so many issues to address and decisions to make, but we’re here to make the process flow much easier. The end result will be garments that you and your group will be proud to wear! Here are a few tips to get you started to make your next embroidery project a rousing success. YOUR ART AND FINISHED LOGO SIZE Our first concern is the image quality of the artwork you submit, such as your company logo. It should be the best you can provide. (Of course, if we have already had your logo or artwork digitized for embroidery, this step is already done.) Crisp line art will reproduce better in embroidery than, say, a photocopy of a logo.

Embroidery   Embroidery is the process of turning a graphic or text into a needle-and-thread work of art for application to a garment or other fabric item. Using state-of-the-art software and multi-head industrial sewing machines, embroidered designs can be simple, one-color designs or multicolored works of intricate detail.

HOW TO DO SCREEN PRINTING Screen printing (also known as silk screening) is a printing technique that uses stencils and ink to create designs on fabric. Although it requires significantly more set-up time than digital printing or heat transfer, screen printing is the most economical method for producing large quantities. Commonly used on cotton or cotton blend apparel, screen printing can be done on 100% polyester using special inks and additives. SCREEN PRINTING PROCESS Screen printing on 100% polyester presents two unique challenges. The first is dye migration – ink discoloration that occurs when exposure to high temperatures causes dye to “migrate” from the garment into the screen print ink. To prevent this problem, use highly opaque ink or print a base layer of a barrier material, and cure at the lowest recommended temperature. The second challenge is shrinkage. To avoid this, careful handling is essential when applying heat to polyester fabric, which can shrink or bur
