Embroidery is the technique of decorating apparel, fabric, or other materials with needle and thread. Embroidery may also incorporate other materials such as sequins, rhinestones, or yarn.
It can be produced by a machine or in some cases by hand. In our usage it is always done by a machine that is specifically made for the apparel promotional industry.
Embroidery is great on hats, polos, and outerwear to name just a few. One of the major benefits is that it lends a very professional tone to the item it is added to. For this reason it is very commonly done on uniform pieces, or on items that a business wants to give away or sell as promotional goods.
Unlike screen printing, for embroidery the number of colors in the design has no bearing on the price. This makes it a great choice for a design that features many different colors.
