Some logos look even better stitched than printed. Here's how to get yours there. 🪡

Part 3 of our embroidery series: making a logo look great in thread.

→ Keep it bold. Thick lines and solid shapes stitch clean. Hairline details and soft gradients get lost.

→ Watch the small text. Lettering under about a quarter inch tall starts to blur together. A tiny tagline may belong somewhere bigger.

→ Fewer colors, more impact. One or two thread colors on a contrasting garment often read stronger than six.

→ Contrast is everything. If it's hard to see on screen, it'll be hard to see on fabric.

→ Let it breathe. A simple design with open space looks premium. A crowded one looks busy.

The relay sweatshirts in the photo say it all: one thread color, bold line art, and a design you can read from across the room.

Next week: embroidery isn't just for polos.

Some of our favorite logos start on a sheet of paper. ✏️

Mathew of Mathew Nickelson Plumbing sketched this one by hand: M, N and a P whose curve sweeps back across the top of the whole mark. No digital file, just pencil on paper.

Here's how it became a cap:

1️⃣ The sketch. Pencil, a ruler and a great idea.
2️⃣ Clean art. We created the digital file from scratch, with even spacing and solid letters, stitched the P in pink and tucked a breast cancer awareness ribbon under it.
3️⃣ A mockup. Mathew saw exactly how it would sit on his cap before we stitched anything.
4️⃣ The finished caps, fresh off the machine. They're going to his fundraiser, and the proceeds go to breast cancer awareness. 💗

Got a sketch on a napkin, a notebook page or the back of an envelope? Bring it to us. We'll handle the rest.

Before a single stitch hits the fabric, a lot has already happened. 🧵

Part 2 of our embroidery series: what happens before the first stitch.

→ Your logo gets digitized. An embroidery machine can't read a picture. Every logo is rebuilt as a stitch file that tells the needle where to go, in which direction and in what order.

→ We size it for the spot. An embroidered left chest logo usually lands around 2.5 to 3.5 inches wide, a little smaller than a screen printed one at 3.5 to 4. A cap front runs around 2 inches tall. Small text and thin lines get adjusted so they stay readable.

→ We match the thread. Every color in your logo is matched to a real thread spool, so your brand color stays your brand color.

→ We pick the right backing. Stretchy polos, structured caps and thick hoodies each need a different stabilizer underneath so the design stays flat and crisp.

→ You approve a mockup first. You see exactly where it goes and how big it is before anything is stitched.

Holiday orders close October 31, so if gifts for your team or clients are on the list, now's the time.

Next week: how to make a logo look great in thread.

How do you sign off your emails? ✍️

This week we changed ours. "Warm regards" is out. "Let's make something great," is in.

We make things for a living, so we wanted every email to feel like the start of something, not the end of one.

It got us curious what everyone else is using:

🅰️ Best,
🅱️ Thanks!
🌊 Cheers,
✨ Something all your own

Drop yours in the comments. The more creative, the better. We might borrow the best one. 😄

Over the next few weeks, we're sharing what we've learned about embroidery in a short series: why it's worth it, what happens before the first stitch, how to make a logo look great in thread, and the questions we hear most.

Here's where it starts 👇

Why embroidery is worth it for your business:

→ It lasts. Stitched logos hold up through hundreds of washes, long after most prints have faded.

→ It looks premium. Real texture and depth that a flat print can't match.

→ It goes where print can't. Caps, jackets, polos, beanies, bags.

→ Placement makes the statement. A clean chest logo looks sharp, and a bold back piece starts conversations.

Next week: what happens before the first stitch.

🎀 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and one of our local customers is doing something about it.

Mathew Nickelson of Mathew Nickelson Plumbing came to us with two hat ideas.

The first was an everyday crew cap that reads Mathew / PLUMBING / Nickelson. PLUMBING is stitched in bright spring green so you can read it from across a job site.

The second started as a pencil sketch: an MNP mark where the P sweeps back over the M and N. We turned it into clean artwork, stitched the P in pink and tucked a pink awareness ribbon right under it.

Mathew is using the pink hats for a fundraiser, and every dollar of the proceeds goes to breast cancer awareness. That's a local business putting its name behind something that matters.

All 37 caps are Richardson trucker hats in heather grey and black, embroidered here in Marin County.

Thank you, Mathew, for letting us be part of it. 💗
