Tips From Our Experts By Decoration Technique

Embroidery

Embroidery is the art of embellishing a piece of apparel with a needle and thread or yarn creating stunning visual representations of various types of art. This is achieved by converting logos in a digitizing software and using various stitch patterns, angles, density and stitch types to create depth, movement and detail. Thread can be made from many materials. The most commonly used threads are polyester and rayon. There are also options such as metallic, cotton, nylon, silk and even Nomex thread for fire resistance. Embroidery has a very high-perceived value and is popular for use on most apparel, bags, hats, luggage, blankets and more!

In order to maintain waterproof integrity, please consult with your decorator, equipment, and consumable supplier for best practices.

Heat transfers with low cure adhesive and bleed blockers are required for this product. Avoid hot-stacking when decorating 100% polyester, blends, and pigment dye fabrics.

 

Heat transfers with an aggressive adhesive are required for stain release, water resistant/waterproof coated and nylon fabrics. Consult with your transfer supplier for recommendations.
