Embroidery
Embroidery is a technique of decorating fabric or other materials using a needle and thread. It involves stitching a design onto the material, creating a textured and three-dimensional image. Embroidery can be used to enhance the appearance of clothing items such as shirts, polos, and caps, and can add a personalized touch to the garment.
Embroidery on shirts often involves stitching a design or logo onto the breast pocket or back of the shirt. This can be done using a variety of thread colors and types, and can create a bold and eye-catching image. Embroidery on polos is often used to display a company logo or team emblem on the chest or sleeve of the shirt. The embroidery may also include the wearer’s name or title.
Caps can also be embroidered with a variety of designs, logos, or text. This is often done on the front or side of the cap, and can create a unique and personalized look. Embroidery on caps is commonly used for sports teams, promotional items, and personal accessories.
Overall, embroidery is a versatile and popular technique for adding a decorative element to clothing items, and can be used to create a range of styles and looks.

Set-Up your Design
The process of setting up a design for embroidery typically involves the following steps:
Digitization: Once the design is created, it needs to be digitized, which involves converting the design into a format that can be read by embroidery machines. This is typically done using specialized software that converts the design into a series of stitches and thread colors.
Thread Selection: The next step is to select the thread colors to be used in the embroidery. This can be done by referencing a color chart and selecting the colors that best match the original design. The thread colors are typically chosen based on the Pantone Matching System (PMS) or another color-matching system.
Machine Set-up: After the design is digitized and the thread colors are selected, the embroidery machine needs to be set up. This involves selecting the appropriate hoop size, loading the correct thread colors into the machine, and adjusting the tension and other settings to ensure that the embroidery is of high quality.
Testing: Before starting the actual embroidery, a test run should be done to ensure that everything is set up correctly. This involves embroidering the design onto a piece of fabric to check the thread tension, stitch density, and overall quality of the embroidery.
Embroidery: Once everything is set up and tested, the actual embroidery process can begin. This involves running the design through the embroidery machine, which will stitch the design onto the chosen fabric using the selected thread colors.
The duration of this process can vary depending on the complexity of the design and the number of stitches required. However, if the design is not too complicated, it can typically be completed within 3 working days.
