Embroidery
WHY USE EMBROIDERY?
Some garments are not suitable for screen printing, or maybe you just don't want the look of screen printing on your garments. That's where embroidery comes in. Embroidery is a process that uses needles and thread to stitch out a design. The result is a very high end, high quality product. This is very popular on garments such as caps, beanies, polos, etc.
Stitch Types
There are a vast variety of options when it comes to embroidery. The possibilities are endless, but to help you on your journey, we described some of the most popular stitch types below.
Standard stitching
The most basic, but still incredibly powerful. Create clean and bold impressions that are suitable for almost any application.
3D embroidery
3D embroidery uses foam to pop the design off of the garment. This technique is very eye catching and works best with more simple designs.
tackle twill Appliqué
Tackle twill appliqué is the process of stitching down twill fabric to cover large areas of a design. This works great for designs that take up more extensive areas of a garment.
woven labels/ patches
Used for high detail designs or just to add that extra special touch to a project. Woven labels are great for relabeling or hem tags, and patches are great for stitching on to garments, or just to simply distribute by themselves.
Digitizing
Digitizing is the process of turning your design into a file for stitching. Many embroidery shops outsource their digitizing to other companies because of how intense the process is. At ML Screen Printing, we are able to digitize in-house to ensure that every detail is dialed-in perfectly, as well as being able to stitch your design to multiple different garment types without the need for outsourcing the digitizing over and over again.
