Embroidery Embroidery is the process of turning a graphic or text into a needle-and-thread work of art for application to a garment or other fabric item. Using state-of-the-art software and multi-head industrial sewing machines, embroidered designs can be simple, one-color designs or multicolored works of intricate detail. Of all the methods of fabric embellishment, embroidery is considered to add the most sophistication and a higher perceived value to a garment. EMBROIDERY PROCESS: Today’s custom embroidery is a primarily automated process that translates a digital image into data that guides the operation of industrial sewing machines capable of up to 1,500 stitches per minute. DESIGN AND DIGITIZE IMAGE: Create or adapt a design for embroidery, bearing in mind that simpler designs with open areas translate best into stitches.

Design Tipsasa Pondering some embroidered items for your business, club, school, family, or even yourself? It may seem overwhelming at first, with so many issues to address and decisions to make, but we’re here to make the process flow much easier.

HOW TO SCREEN PRINT T SHIRTS I started screen printing about 20 years ago, when I first started making my first printed T-shirts and accessories. I began by stenciling my designs which, while lovely, wasn’t time-consuming. There had to be a better way! I decided to start screen printing and, with a bit of trial and error, I taught myself at home. Twenty years later, I now have a fancy heat setting machine and use photo emulsion stencil-making methods, but I still use quite a rustic set-up for my printing. For this tutorial, I wanted to show how screen-printing short runs of a simple design on T-shirts can be done very easily at home with just a screen, a squeegee, some ink, a piece of paper and a craft knife. It's how I started, and if you like it you have the basics to start experimenting with more technical ways of making screen stencils. What you need Screen printing fabric ink. Try a ready-mixed ink to begin with, such as the Speedball range. Follow the instruc...
