CUSTOM LOGO EMBROIDERY

 Your logo is one of your most important assets – it’s how your brand is recognized and promoted. Topsy Stitches understands the significance and is committed to ensuring your logo embroidery looks its absolute best, delivering top-notch quality with exceptional service! 

 If the stitch file (DST, PES, etc.) is available and the size remains the same, it can often be reused. If an existing file does not stitch well or is not set up properly for embroidery, it may need to be redone to achieve a crisper, more professional appearance and improved efficiency. More often than not, this also reduces your long-term costs to stitch the logo. 

Embroidery files created by Topsy Stitches are maintained for in-house use to ensure consistent quality and are not transferred.   

Note: We do not assist with obtaining files from other embroidery businesses. 

 The logo will have to be set up for embroidery. For reference, our setup fees for a left-chest-sized logo start at $50 and include one complimentary test stitch. Costs vary based on size and complexity, and significant edits or any additional testing requests may incur additional fees. 

 As a fully custom business, there is no magic formula for pricing that accounts for all of the variables involved with embroidery. Much like a car repair shop cannot provide an estimate without first diagnosing the scope of the repairs, we are unable to provide pricing until the setup is complete and we have all the details like size, timeline, item type, and quantity, etc. 

Topsy Stitches accepts client-provided items and has no minimum quantity or order amount! Our minimum charge per item for embroidery is $18, and we offer bulk quantity discounts!

We remain committed to providing top-notch quality. Ask around! You'll find that not only are we known for our quality, but also our turnaround times and exceptional white-glove service. 

After receiving your artwork and logo details, we'll provide pricing for the setup fee(s) and an estimated completion time. Once payment for the setup is received, we start working our magic on the design! We send a digital proof, and once approved, we provide a test stitch. Upon receipt of final approval and payment for embroidering your item(s), we begin stitching your order - all of this is done typically within a matter of days, not weeks. Large orders, more complex logos, and complicated edit requests may take longer. 

Do you have a tight timeline? We offer rush services with an additional fee!

 Polos, t-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, jackets, blankets, towels, bags, aprons, caps, backpacks, etc. If the item can be securely hooped throughout stitching, it can usually be embroidered.  

 Now for the boring stuff. Machine embroidery is comprised of thread and, in most cases, fabric. Fabric is rarely smooth, flat, or stable. It is typically tightly woven thread that, while not always visible, creates dimension that can affect the look of the embroidery. 

Many materials will pull or stretch, and with the needle punching thousands of tiny holes into the fabric, the material may shift in different directions, affecting the finished look. Golf shirts, t-shirts, and tech-weave shirts are examples of stretchy material, while woven button-down shirts, sweatshirts, towels, canvas bags, and backpacks have less propensity to stretch. To compensate for shifting, dimension, and texture, a backing is used to stabilize the fabric during the process and help keep the stitches looking great over time. Some backings remain after the embroidery is finished, and some tear or wash away. The type of backing will vary depending on a number of factors including the material used and the design being stitched.

Sometimes, combining the endless variables of embroidery with a logo may result in a less-than-optimal appearance. Should this be the case, minor adjustments might be suggested for a better result, but only if this does not compromise the integrity of the logo. While rare, some items may not be suitable for embroidery. You can have complete confidence knowing that Topsy Stitches is always transparent about any risks involved with your order.
