Choices that You Have for Your Embroidery Order

We all love a quality embroidered product. When done well, embroidery can almost bring to life a company logo or any other design. Over time, embroidery technology and techniques have been improving at an exciting pace to match the creativity of our clients. As a result, we offer options that will surely blow your clients’ minds! That’s part of what makes us one of the leading contract embroiderers in the industry: we keep up with technology and production processes in order to meet and exceed our clients’ requirements.

You may ask, in the end, what makes us that different and better than other embroiderers? Let’s take a look at what Say it in Stitches can offer you.

Advanced digitizing services

All embroidery jobs begin with digitizing. Digitizing is the process of converting your art into a series of detailed commands that a computer-controlled embroidery machine can understand. It is the nature, precision, and sequence of those instructions–the quality of the digitizing–that drives most of the final product quality. And the degree to which we are able to faithfully translate your art from pixels on a screen or ink dots on paper to thread. The best digitizers have extensive experience working on embroidery machines. They understand and are able to effectively account for the physical forces that come into play during the embroidery process when a needle is hitting fabric 700 times per minute. There is nothing that can be done at the production stage to fully make up for a poorly digitized design. Nevertheless, everyone understands that embroidery is a cruder medium than print, for example. And not every design is a perfect candidate for embroidery, so we work closely with clients and provide expert advice to offer creative options and make choices about adjustments to their original design that will lead to the best possible embroidery result.

Puff embroidery

Want your logo to stand out? Then we’re the ones for the job. Puff or 3D embroidery (as it is also commonly known) involves both specialized digitizing and production techniques and expertise. Most embroiderers will not do it or cannot do it well. Depending on the characteristics of the design, we may be able to create a fantastic puff-embroidered version of your logo. We are experts at it, and for that reason many other embroiderers come to us with their puff embroidery jobs.

Thread matching

Nothing is worse than finding that your bright blue design has been turned into a muted blue when embroidered on a bulk of uniforms. Not only does that break your visual identity, but also represents a failure of the embroiderer when matching threads. What do we do to avoid this? First, we stock an unusually wide range of both rayon and polyester threads–approximately 375 different colors. Whether we are matching thread colors visually against your art, matching specific client Panton Matching System (PMS) colors, or matching to specific competing brands and thread color numbers, we have the tools and the skills to make the best possible match. We are able to share many of those tools with you online to help us (together) to make the best possible color choices and faithfully replicate your logo or design.

Color Gradients

Color gradients are most typically associated with print media because of the ability to flexibly blend ink colors to achieve smooth transitions from one color to the next. In fact, most embroiderers will not even attempt color gradients and will steer their clients toward solid colors. Or they will attempt it and deliver a disappointing result. We have developed very specific digitizing techniques that, along with our extensive array of thread colors, allow us to achieve remarkable results in reproducing color gradients from the original art on the final embroidery. While it is not possible or advisable in all situations, when and how to attempt this very specific embroidery challenge is one of the many choices that we discuss with our clients.

Packaging and Shipping Options

In order to protect your business and brand image, and to ensure the quickest possible delivery of your order to your clients, we can ship your order “blind” in your name with no identifying information to associate the order with Say it in Stitches.

We can “customize” the shipment in any number of ways, including but not limited to:

  • Custom boxes or branded packing tape displaying your company name and brand

  • Including catalogs, promotional offers, or other products and materials e.g., “thank you” cards) that you may choose.

  • Sorting and split-shipping the order to multiple locations on multiple target dates

  • Individual polybagging and labeling of embroidered items, including application of customer-provided hang tags.
