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:

* The number of thread colors you select won't change the cost of your embroidery.
* If you upload an image for embroidery design,

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.
