Over 110 fonts are available for selection. You can customize font position, size, color, rotation, and shape.
Images
When you upload an image for embroidery design, we will digitize it into an embroidery file. Learn what is digitization and the digitization fee.
For a detailed guide on creating the perfect embroidery file, please refer to this link.
Embroidery types
We offer two embroidery techniques: flat embroidery and 3D Puff embroidery.
Flat embroidery:
Stitches lie flat against the fabric surface for a clean, fine, detailed finish.
3D Puff embroidery:
Foam backing is placed under the stitches so the design is raised, creating a full, dimensional look.
Pricing
You can add multiple embroidery frames (areas for placing embroidery on garments) to each product template. Each frame has different dimensions, stitch counts, and prices:
Frame Stitches(included) Price Extra Stitches 3D surcharge Digitizing fee 3″×4″ 15000 USD 1.99 1000 stitches / USD 0.3 USD 0.98 USD 5.99 3″×12″ 20000 USD 3.49 1000 stitches / USD 0.3 USD 0.98 USD 5.99 12″×12″ 25000 USD 4.99 1000 stitches / USD 0.3 USD 0.98 USD 5.99 Please note that Multi-Process Fee of USD 2.99 applies when combining embroidery with other processes.

* When you upload a DST file for embroidery design, there's no digitization fee.Do's and Don'ts
1. Avoid complex details or small text
Fine details can be lost due to texture size limits, and extremely thin elements and small text often don't turn out well in embroidery.
2. Use proper stitch density
Since we use the Tajima TMEZ-S1501C embroidery machine and COATS Sylko 120D thread, we recommend that the stitch density of the uploaded DST files be controlled between 0.3mm and 0.5mm. Excessively dense stitches may damage the fabric, cause puckering, and affect the garment's elasticity. Conversely, stitches that are too sparse may lead to edge fraying and loose threads, compromising both appearance and durability. Proper stitch density ensures that embroidery patterns remain clear, secure, and do not damage the fabric.
3. Choose appropriate garments
The type of fabric you choose is key to your embroidery's appearance. For big or detailed designs with sharp edges, go for thicker fabrics like sweatshirts. They give better support and prevent fabric damage. Lighter fabrics like thin T-shirts, especially those under 200g, are better for smaller, simpler designs to keep the fabric smooth.
4. Minimize color changes
Our Design Creator limits the number of color changes to 30 for a single DST file. For multi-color designs, we recommend that the same color count as only one color change to streamline the color sequence and reduce redundant color change (COLOR_BREAK) commands.
5. Avoid designs requiring exact alignment of embroidery and DTG
Even if the product preview appears perfectly aligned, exact position matching cannot be guaranteed in actual production.
Scaling Guide
Embroidered patterns will maintain their actual size across all garment sizes. If a garment has both DTG and embroidery on the same side, neither will be scaled.
FAQS
- Can I use both DTG printing and embroidery on the same product?
- Yes, you can use both DTG printing and embroidery on the same product template at PODpartner.
- How long does the embroidery process take?
- The timeline for your embroidery order depends on whether your design needs digitization. Design digitization typically takes 1-2 business days for standard processing, with each revision requiring an additional 1-2 business days. Keep in mind that digitization is a one-time process, so only your first order with a new design will need this step.
For production, 98% of our orders complete production within 48 hours. If you choose to combine DTG (Direct-to-Garment) printing with your embroidery, this won't extend your production time.
For detailed shipping information, please visit the "Shipping" section in the navigation bar on our website.
- Are there any digitization fees for embroidery at PODpartner?
- Digitization fees will only be charged when uploading images that need to be converted into embroidery files, and this fee will apply only to the first order of that product template.
There are no digitization fees for uploading .dst files or using custom text embroidery. However, you are responsible for ensuring the quality of the .DST file you upload. If there are issues with your .DST file that require our assistance for modifications, please note that a modification fee will apply in this situation.
- Does the number of thread colors affect the price of my embroidery?
- No. The price remains the same whether you use one color or 15 colors in your embroidery design.
- Will the final garment look exactly like my design?
- While we strive to produce garments that closely match your design, there may be subtle differences due to the printing process and fabric characteristics. Factors such as color variances, fabric texture, and techniques can affect the final appearance. If there is a discrepancy between the design area and the mockups, the final appearance will be based on the design area.
HTV details
Reference garment size: XL (Scaling guide)
-
Pricing
You can add multiple HTV designs per product template. Select different materials for each design. Pricing depends on size and material choice:
Material type Base price (Up to 20 in²) Extra area fee (Per additional in²) - Each design is charged separately.
- Area is calculated based on the bounding box of the artwork.
Print file guidelines
1. SVG Files
Ensure the design is composed entirely of vector paths; do not embed JPG/PNG images within the SVG.
2. PNG Files
If the image has a background color, converting it into a vinyl cutting file will result in a rectangular block. To prevent your design from becoming a "patch," please use high-resolution images (150dpi or higher) with a transparent background. The edges should be clear and free of jagged lines to ensure smooth cutting.
Do's and Don'ts
1. Do not overlap HTV designs
Avoid stacking multiple HTV designs together. Overlapping can lead to reduced adhesion of the upper design, making it prone to peeling or falling off after washing.
2. Some HTV materials cannot be embroidered
Not all HTV materials are suitable for embroidery. Special materials—especially metallic, reflective, or thick textures—are difficult for embroidery needles to penetrate.
3. Avoid using designs that are too small or too thin
The line width and gaps in HTV designs should not be less than 1.5mm (0.06″). Designs that are too small or lines that are too thin may be completely burned away due to heat concentration during laser engraving, resulting in missing parts or distortion.
FAQS
- Can I use DTG, embroidery, and HTV on the same product?
- Yes, we strongly encourage this kind of creativity!
Through 'Hybrid Process', you can combine the premium texture of embroidery, the vibrant colors of DTG, and the unique effects of HTV such as glow or velvet.
Please note that Multi-Process Fee of USD 2.99 applies when combining embroidery with other processes.
- Why did my colorful image turn into a solid color after uploading?
- The HTV process involves cutting the specific material (such as red velvet or gold glitter) based on the shape of your image before heat-pressing it onto the garment. Therefore, our Design Creator only displays the color and texture of the chosen material, and the original colors/details of your image will be covered.
- Can I use multiple HTV materials on the same product?
- Yes. We support adding up to 5 independent HTV design elements on a single garment part (e.g., the front of a shirt). You can choose different materials for each of these 5 designs (e.g., one in gold glitter and another in red velvet) to achieve a rich, mixed-material effect.
- Does a product with HTV take longer to produce?
· Single Process products: No change in lead time; it remains consistent with standard printing.
· Hybrid Process products: Although the complex coordination required for cross-line production (e.g., DTG + HTV) is typically time-consuming, thanks to our robust production capabilities, we require only 1 additional day to complete high-quality mixed-media production.
