Three ways to get your logo stitched
Pick the one that matches how much of this you want to handle yourself.
Path one
Stitch it on screen
Pick a cap, a polo or a jacket, place your logo, set a quantity, and the per-piece price updates with the digitizing already inside it.

Get it hand-priced
Staff rollouts and uniform runs almost always beat the listed price once a person builds them. Send the logo and the headcount.
Get my bulk pricePath three
Check your logo first
Send the logo before you order anything. We will tell you honestly how it will stitch, and what to simplify if the answer is not great.
Send us the logoStitch it on screen and see the price
Pick a hat, a polo or a jacket, drop your logo where you want it, set the quantity and the per-piece number moves as you go.
The fifty dollar digitising setup is already inside every number you see, spread across the run. It is not waiting for you at the end.
What gets stitched most
Hats and embroidery go together for a reason. These are the garments that get worn hard and seen often.
Staff favorite
Embroidery on polos
A left chest logo on a polo is the most-ordered piece of company gear there is, and it looks like a uniform without feeling like one.

What embroidery actually costs
Real per-piece numbers from the same engine the studio quotes from, one left chest logo at around six thousand stitches, digitising included.
Embroidery carries a fifty dollar setup rather than a per-color one, so the price per piece falls hard between twelve and forty eight and then flattens out.
| Quantity | Hat, Richardson 112 | Polo, Harriton M265 | Hoodie, Bella+Canvas 3501 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 pieces | $29.46 | $28.56 | $30.91 |
| 24 pieces | $24.48 | $23.66 | $25.80 |
| 48 pieces | $21.05 | $20.31 | $22.24 |
| 72 pieces | $19.51 | $18.81 | $20.63 |
| 144 pieces | $17.97 | $17.31 | $19.03 |
| 288 pieces | $16.94 | $16.31 | $17.97 |
Per piece, garment and stitching and the fifty dollar digitising setup all in. A logo over ten thousand stitches costs more per piece because it holds the machine longer. Build yours in the studio for the exact figure.
Where embroidery goes wrong
Almost never on the machine. Nearly always before it.
Digitising is where logos live or die
Your logo is a picture. An embroidery machine needs a route, a sequence of stitches with a direction, a density and an order. Somebody has to build that, and how well they build it is most of how your logo turns out.
Rush that step and thin lines disappear, small text closes into a solid blob and the whole thing puckers. It is the reason two shops can stitch the same logo on the same hat and one looks sharp and one looks homemade.
Thread has a width. Ink does not
This is the single most useful thing to understand about embroidery. A thread is physically about a millimetre across, so there is a floor on how small a detail can be before it stops being a detail.
Text under roughly a quarter inch tall fills in. A hairline border vanishes. A gradient becomes a hard edge. None of that is a quality problem, it is physics, and the fix is to simplify the mark for stitching rather than to stitch harder.
The garment has to hold the stitch
A structured hat front and a heavy polo placket give the needle something to work against. A thin performance fabric does not, and a dense logo on one will pull and pucker no matter who stitches it.
We back thin fabrics properly and pick a stitch density that suits them, and where a garment genuinely will not take a design we say so before you order rather than after.
Why not just use a big online printer?
Because embroidery is the one decoration method where the middle step decides the outcome, and the big portals treat that step as automatic.
Digitizing is a person building a stitch path. Done well your logo looks sharp for years. Done by whatever is cheapest and fastest, your small text closes up and your thin lines vanish, and you find out when the box arrives. We quote it up front and we tell you before you order if your logo needs simplifying.
How an embroidered order runs
Five steps, and only two of them are yours.
-
1
Send the logo
Vector is ideal. A large clean PNG works too.
-
2
We digitise it
A person builds the stitch path. This is the step that matters.
-
3
Approve the mockup
You see how it will actually stitch before we run it.
-
4
We stitch
Hats on hat machinery, flat garments on flat. Different setups.
-
5
It ships
Checked, packed and out, in about 14 days.
Not sure your logo will stitch?
Send it over. We will tell you honestly what it will look like as embroidery, and what to change if the answer is not great.
Stitched work that has gone out
Embroidered shirts, custom sweatshirts embroidered, caps and jackets that have actually shipped.
Embroidery questions
What is digitising and do I have to pay for it?
Digitising is turning your logo into a stitch path the machine can follow. It is real work done by a person and it is what separates clean embroidery from a fuzzy mess. There is a fifty dollar setup on an embroidered order and it is already inside the per-piece price the studio shows you. It is not added later.
Will my logo work on embroidered shirts and caps?
Bold shapes and solid colors stitch beautifully. Fine text under about a quarter inch tall, thin hairlines and gradients do not, because thread has a physical width that ink does not. If your logo has any of those, send it over and we will tell you what it will actually look like before you order.
How many stitches is my logo?
A standard left chest logo runs around six to ten thousand stitches. Anything over ten thousand takes longer on the machine and costs more per piece, which the studio accounts for. Big back designs and full jacket backs sit well above that.
Can you do embroidery t shirts and hoodies, or is it just caps and polos?
All of it. Hoodies for embroidery run on the same flat machinery as polos, just off a heavier garment, so they sit a little above the polo column in the table. Tees take stitching fine too, though a light single-jersey needs backing so a dense logo does not pull the fabric.
Can you embroider hats?
Yes, and hats are the piece that gets worn most. A Richardson 112 is the default for a reason. Hat embroidery runs on different machinery than flat garments, so a hat and a polo in the same order are two setups rather than one.
Is the digitizing cost really included?
Yes. The fifty dollar setup is already inside every per-piece number the studio shows you, spread across whatever quantity you set. It is not a line item waiting at the end, which is the usual way this goes wrong elsewhere.
Do I see it before you print it?
Always. A real person reviews every design by hand and you get a mockup to approve. Nothing touches a garment until you say go. If we get it wrong after that, we reprint it or refund you.
