Embroidered Patches

An embroidered patch is a piece of embroidery which is created by using a fabric backing and thread. They can be applied to garments using thread with an adhesive backing. Great for caps or sleeve patches.

Metallic Threads

Metallic threads are a certain type of thread that appears to be made of metal, but is actually made of a synthetic material such as polyester. You can transform a flat, 2D design into a 3D type picture using metallic thread.

Chenille Embroidery

Chenille is a textured embroidery option that is created by forming loop stitches on the top side of the fabric. Using wool, cotton or acrylic yarns, it creates a unique texture that sets your embroidery apart from other designs.

Tackle Twill / Applique

Tackle Twill, or applique, involves sewing down a number or letter made by cutting pieces of one material and applying them to the surface of another material. This process is great for covering large areas with a logo or text where strictly embroidering it would be too heavy or make the garment uncomfortable to wear.
