VICTOR, N.Y., June 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — What should businesses and individuals know before committing to embroidered apparel? Tim Maher of Apparel Printers Plus in Victor, New York outlines essential embroidery guidelines in a feature published by HelloNation, explaining how the right choices in design, fabric, and thread can make or break the final result.
According to Maher, embroidery offers a polished, high-durability decoration method especially suited for uniforms, hats, and premium gear. Unlike printed graphics, embroidery adds dimension by stitching designs directly into the garment. However, not every design is a good fit. Small text, thin lines, and complex gradients often don’t translate well in thread, potentially leading to distorted or illegible results. Maher recommends bold logos, thick fonts, and simple, clean shapes as ideal for embroidery—elements that retain clarity and structure during stitching.
Fabric selection is another critical factor. Structured garments like polos, jackets, and hats handle embroidery well, maintaining shape under tension. Softer or stretchable materials can pucker, compromising both the design and the garment. Placement also plays a role, with standard areas like the left chest or hat fronts offering the best canvas, though embroidery machines can work on other flat surfaces within size limitations.
Thread type and color matching also affect outcomes. Polyester threads are durable and colorfast for uniforms, while rayon threads provide a glossy finish for more decorative pieces. Given the limited thread color palette compared to digital printing, using PMS references is recommended for accurate brand reproduction.
