Embroidery
Custom Embroidery in Hastings, MI and Nashville, MI
If you want a clean, professional, uniform-ready look, embroidery is hard to beat. At Court-Side Screen Printing & Embroidery, we stitch logos and designs directly into apparel using needle and thread. The result is textured, dimensional, and built for everyday wear.
What is Embroidery?
Embroidery decorates fabric by sewing thread into the garment. The thread is coated and has a slight sheen, which helps your logo stand out. Because embroidery is stitched, not printed, it creates a raised effect and adds depth to your branding.
Why Choose Embroidery for Custom Apparel?
Need a printed look instead? See screen printing (24 minimum) or DTF (no minimum).
Best Items for Embroidery
Embroidery works well on:
Hats, beanies, and visors
Polos and button-down shirts
Jackets, fleece, and vests
Workwear and uniforms
Bags and backpacks
Embroidery has no minimum order size.
That makes it a great choice for small teams, new hires, and one-off pieces.
Logo Details and Stitch Limitations
Embroidery involves a needle piercing fabric many times, so very small text and tiny details may not stitch cleanly. In some cases, we may recommend small changes like:
- Enlarging tiny text
- Simplifying fine lines
- Adjusting spacing
We’ll review your logo and guide you before production.
What Affects Embroidery Pricing?
Embroidery quotes depend on:
- Stitch count (how detailed the design is)
- Design size (left chest vs large back)
- Number of locations
- Quantity
- Garment type
FAQs
Is there a minimum order for embroidery?
No. You can order one item or many.
What is embroidery best for?
Hats, polos, jackets, and uniforms. For large graphics or full-color art, consider screen printing or DTF.
Can you embroider small text?
Sometimes. If the text is too small to stitch clearly, we may recommend adjustments.
Does embroidery last longer than printing?
Embroidery is extremely durable. For workwear and uniforms, it is often the longest-lasting option.
Should I choose embroidery or vinyl transfer for names?
For player names and numbers,
vinyl transfer
is often the better fit. Embroidery can work for names on certain items, but it depends on size and placement.
