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.
