I love this picture.

Got a note from Shauna (one of our customers) who was looking for a way for her daughter’s soccer team to support a teammate named Riley who is battling cancer. Riley’s folks had already started ‘Riley’s Army‘ – an organization to help other families with cancer (which is amazing if you think about it!) – and the girls wanted something they could wear as part of their soccer uniform to honor their friend (and others who are fighting the fight) and so an idea was born.

These embroidered wristbands fit the bill perfectly. Love the way this photo gets all the hands together – a real feeling of solidarity.

Good stuff indeed.

If you’re looking for a way to make your logo really ‘pop’ on a custom cap, 3-D embroidery is the ticket. Really gives your logo some dimension and the cap has a ‘retail’ feel about it that the recipient will love.

Guenevere shows this technique on our logo in this video.

If you’ve ever ordered embroidered products, you know it can be challenging and costly.

You need to approximate your stitch count and pay for the embroidery tape.  If you’re ordering 10 shirts, the $95 average charge for embroidery tape adds almost $10 to the price of each shirt.  Shirts in larger sizes often cost extra.  And, logo placement was often limited to one or two locations.

We’re changing all that.  Here’s how:

•    With our embroidery, the price you see is the price you pay!
•    There is no extra charge for extended sizes.
•    The tape charge is reduced to a flat $35 – or we’ll waive it if you order 24+ polos, dress shirts and jackets.
•    And, there is no stitch count.  If your logo fits in the described embroidery area, there are no additional fees.

Our goal is to make it easier to order embroidered items.

How simple is that?

We’ve been making plans for our booth at the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) show later this month. Part of that process includes the questions  ’what logo’d apparel should the team wear’ and ‘what color combination should we use for the embroidery of our logo’?

Given that some of the team will be there for a few days, we have a couple of different combinations of colors and designs.  One of my favorites in the mix is ‘tone-on-tone’. That’s where the embroidery is the same tone/color as the shirt.  I know, seems a bit counter-intuitive, but it looks very polished and works well on custom polos, promotional dress shirts and even heavyweight T’s or sweats.

Tone-on-tone stands out by not ’standing out’ – know what I mean?

Tone-on-tone embroidery for a polished look.
