What is Embroidery?
Embroidery is the simple use of threads made into designs or logos as you wished for customization.

As you may already know, the simplest explanation of embroidery is that it involves intricate needlework where colored threads are stitched onto a piece of fabric or product (in our case, a T-Shirt) to form a design or pattern.
The embroidery threads will be supported by a backing that will be on the inner side of your embroidered shirts or embroidered clothing.

1. How did Embroidery services come about?
Let’s start off by delving into the history of embroidery. Have you ever wonder where and how it came about?
Well, truth be told, embroidery is a popular ancient technique with roots dating back to the 3rd century. It was also widely used across the world from China to Sweden. Elaborate embroidery was often seen as a symbol of prestige and wealth.
In England, for example, the term English work (or Opus Anglicanum) was coined for fine needlework done on clothing. They are also usually done on expensive materials such as rich velvet. Gold and silver threads were commonly used as well.

This highly sought-after skill for fine embroidery was soon put to danger after the Industrial Revolution.
Following the trend of mass production, machine embroidery came to live! It has brought a revolutionary change in the world and today, computerized embroidery machines are used to create the patterns on t-shirts.
2. What are computerized embroidery machines?
These machines are computer-controlled machines that can stitch up to 1,000 needles a minute and up to >16 different colors per design.
The embroidery machines include an embroidery head. This head can be in singles or multiples in different machines. Multiple needles are fixed into this head.
In addition, another feature of the embroidery machine is the frame on which you would affix your t-shirt (we will be touching on this topic further later on in this article). This frame is also known as the panto-graph.

3. Creating and digitizing the design into an embroidery design file
Now that we have completed the overview of the process of embroidery, let’s touch on further on the critical part, which is the creation of the design file.
This is the hardest bit as the design has to be of the highest quality in order for it to be stitched by the machine well.

4. Advantages & Disadvantages of Embroidery
To help you make a better choice when deciding on the type of T-shirt printing services, we have also come up with some advantages and disadvantages of embroidery.
Advantages
- Uniqueness – The design is customized and is ultimately up to you. Plus, the different thread colours give you lots of flexibility in deciding what you want your t-shirt design to look like!
- Quality – Because of its high-quality result the t-shirt will look professional and sleek.
Disadvantages
- Price – As the mechanics of this method means that each embroidery have to start from scratch, the efficiency does not increase exponentially as compared to silk screen printing. Therefore, the price does not spread across the quantity, and does not become significantly cheaper at bulk quantities.
- Complex Designs – Embroidery is unable to print designs that have gradient coloring in their logos. If you are looking to do complex designs with gradient colouring, have a look at Digital Heat Transfer Printing or DTG Printing.
