You can turn a graphic into a stitched format. This can then be stitched to a variety of materials including garments, bags, household goods, caps, etc. Changing the image to stitches is called 'digitising' and needs to be done by a competently trained person as the fabric to which it will be stitched will stretch in different ways depending on that fabric. We can digitise an image for you at a reasonable cost. That digitising cost is a 'one-off' as once complete it will be retained for your next job with us. You may be surprised but even a small logo or text can contain 1000's of stitches. The 6x4.4cm 'two heads' graphic below contains 8000 stitches. Stitching John Smith at 6x1cm contains 3000 stitches. How much does it all cost? Digitising. There is a charge for the digitising which works out at about £10 per 1000 stitches. That cost is a one-off and would not be charged again unless an alteration is required. If you use our pre-prepared logo's and fonts then only the set-up charge of £20 is applicable, unless you wish to vary the design. Digitising does make a single item expensive so a pre-prepared design is the best route. Stitching. We charge 50pence for each 1000 stitches sewn on a garment we supply. A logo of 10,000 stitches would cost £5.00 per garment. If you supply the garment we charge £1 per 1000 stitches. Other charges. There aren't any. Either use our own designs and fonts or have something prepared. We can supply most items for embroidery. All work is charged at 50% deposit when ordering and 50% balance on release of goods. Copyright. Whatever you ask us to do you must have copyright or licence in writing to use it. You would indemnify us against any breach in copyright should you use us to create an unlawful piece. Racesuits Racesuits contain a Nomex or flame retardent lining. This is stitched to the outer in squares thus air flows between the layers. Embroidery has such tight stitiching it cannot be applied to an off-the-peg race suit as it will reduce the retardent effect. It will also invalidate the FIA approval. We do not embroider racesuits.
