Your logo, stitched right
Custom Logo Embroidery
Send us your logo and we will help prepare it for embroidery. A logo that looks great on a screen is not always ready for thread, and getting it ready is part of our job.
- Logo preparation and digitizing. We review your artwork and tell you what will stitch cleanly. Artwork help is free; if your logo needs digitizing, we say so in your quote.
- Thread colors. We match your brand colors as closely as thread allows.
- Sizing and placement. Left chest, hat front, sleeves, jackets and bags each have a size that works. We recommend it.
- Proofs. You see it before we sew it.
- Clean professional stitching. We plan stitch density and backing for even coverage, clear lettering and a smooth finish on your chosen fabric.
Planning a bigger run of shirts with a flat print? Screen printing may fit that job.

Real customer projects, from company logos and team emblems to custom caps. Take a closer look at the stitching.

Stitching quality
Professional Embroidery You Can See in the Details
Look at the lettering, layered thread colors and fine detail in this public works emblem. The finished result starts with preparing the design for the fabric, not just loading a logo into a machine.
With over 20 years of experience, we know when to adjust stitch density, simplify a small detail or recommend a different size. We help choose thread colors, placement and apparel so your logo stays readable and looks professional.
From a simple company name to a detailed multicolor emblem, we review the design and send a proof before production.

Yes. Logo embroidery is what we do every day. Send us your logo in the best file you have, even if it is a photo of a sign or a business card. We will look at it, tell you how it will stitch, suggest a size and placement, and show you a proof before anything is produced.
Do you embroider company polos and work shirts?
Yes. Polos and work shirts are some of the most common things we embroider. Left chest is the standard spot, and we can add a name, a back logo or a sleeve. If you are not sure which shirt suits your crew, tell us how they will be wearing it and we will recommend options.
Do you offer custom hat embroidery?
Yes. We embroider company logo hats, snapbacks, trucker hats, Flexfit caps, dad caps and beanies. Hat fronts have limited room, so we will tell you how your logo should be sized and simplified to stitch cleanly on the crown.
Can you embroider jackets and outerwear?
Yes. We embroider company jackets, staff jackets, team jackets, vests and other outerwear. Heavier garments call for the right placement and stitching, and we will walk you through that when you request your quote.
Do you embroider uniforms for businesses and schools?
Yes. We embroider uniforms for companies, restaurants, schools and organizations. We can match the same logo across polos, shirts, jackets and hats so the whole team looks consistent, and we can handle a first order plus the additions that follow as your staff grows.

Can you help me choose the right apparel?
Yes, and you do not need to know brands, style numbers or embroidery terms. Tell us what the apparel is for, roughly how many pieces you need, what logo you have, your budget if you have one and your deadline. We will suggest polos, hats, jackets, uniforms or workwear that fit.
Can you prepare my logo for embroidery?
Yes. Artwork help is free. We prepare your logo for stitching, talk through thread colors and size, and tell you honestly if fine detail needs to be simplified. If your logo needs to be digitized into an embroidery file, we tell you that up front in your quote rather than surprising you later.
Do I receive a proof before production?
Yes. We send a proof so you can see the logo, size, placement and thread colors before we stitch anything. Proofs are fast, and production starts after you approve it.
How long does custom embroidery take?
Timing depends on the garment, the quantity and how busy the shop is, so we confirm it with you when we quote your order. Tell us your deadline when you contact us and we will give you a straight answer about when it will be ready.
Do you offer rush embroidery?
Yes, rush embroidery is available. Contact the shop with your deadline and we will confirm the date we can meet for your order. For more on fast-turnaround work, see our same-day and rush embroidery page.
Can I pick up my embroidery order locally?
