Machine Limits with Embroidery

Embroidery is great! When done well, it looks very professional and neat! There are some limits to embroidery though.

One limit, which many of you have heard me say, is if I can get it into my machine then I will embroider on it. This means that if I can’t make it fit into my machine then I am limited and cannot embroider on it. The embroidery machine is similar to a sewing machine in that it has a needle (15 in fact) and a bobbin. The item that is being embroidered on has to go between these two objects. It also has to fit in the area, go into a hoop and move around once in the area.

Sometimes we embroider on large items such as golf suitcases, bat bags, suitcases and other large, awkward sized items. Often times we have to find a hoop that will work for the design and then hold the item the entire time the machine is embroidering. This can be a limit though if we can not make the hoop work or there is not enough room for the item to move around.

Other limits to embroidery which I will talk more about in the future are hoops, backing and small fonts.

Jacket Back

Last week I showed you several jackets that are currently available in pink to show your support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Jackets are a great way to display your logo. There are so many different locations on a jacket for embroidery!

Some of those locations include:
  • Large jacket back design
  • Left chest
  • Sleeve
  • Wrist
Here is an example of a jacket back design we just finished for Creed Improvements. Chris wanted his logo to be seen on the back of his jacket so that is just what we did. What a great way to show off your company brand and logo!

What do you think? Would you like your logo on the back of a jacket?

Table Covering Testimonial

Here is testimonial that I received from one of our happy customers in regards to their table covering. This just proves how great these table coverings are!

Lantech Table Covering

Kristie,

First of all, I have to admit that I did shop around for this item. I did not find anyone to be very helpful, and no one seemed to have much to show me. The internet is crazy with information, but how do you really know what the color will look like, what the quality is and the stability of the embroidery? Then you have to figure out what all the costs really are and add shipping, and hope for the best. I am so glad to have you right here in the Indy area!

Our tablecloth has been used many times now and I must say, it still looks brand new! The tablecloth drapes just right and has looked good on what ever table we have had to use. It has been laundered by me and washes just beautifully. The color has remained vibrant, and the coffee stains wash right out. My biggest challenge is to fold it by myself. The stitching is awesome and the way you saved us money, by adding the navy fabric background, has worked really well. No one even notices that the background is not stitched. LANtech, and I have been very pleased with this product. We highly recommend not only this table covering, but your great customer service, and definitely your embroidery!
