Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about bespoke embroidery, shipping, studio drop-off and pickup, live embroidery events, and orders.
Bespoke Embroidery
-
I work on a range of garments, accessories, and home textiles, including waxed and quilted jackets, shirts, sweaters, scarves, bags, towels, napkins, aprons, and other suitable textile items. Every item is reviewed before a project is accepted because construction, fabric, seams, pockets, and accessibility can affect whether it can be embroidered safely.
-
Some items may not be suitable for machine embroidery, including structured hats, very thick leather, highly elastic fabrics, heavy seams, and areas that cannot be reached safely by the embroidery machine. Delicate fabrics may also require additional review. If you're unsure, include photographs with your embroidery request.
-
Yes. The Embroidery Designs collection includes symbols, crests, animals, sporting and nautical motifs, and other detailed designs. You can also browse Monograms & Lettering for initials, names, dates, and short phrases.
-
Yes, depending on the artwork. Logos, crests, illustrations, and other artwork may need to be prepared or digitized specifically for embroidery. Submit the artwork with your request and I’ll review it before confirming the project.
-
Yes. Available thread colors and common placement options are shown throughout the embroidery menus. I’m also happy to recommend a color, scale, or placement based on your item.
-
Pricing depends on the design, size, stitch count, number of colors, placement, and construction of the item. Starting prices are shown in the embroidery menus, and a final quote is provided before any work begins. Quotes are complimentary.
-
Begin by browsing the Monograms & Lettering or Embroidery Designs pages. Once you have an idea of what you would like, submit the Embroidery Request Form with photographs of your item. I’ll review the request and confirm suitability, pricing, timing, and next steps.
Shipping & Georgetown Studio
-
Yes. Approved embroidery projects may be dropped off and picked up at my Georgetown studio by appointment. The exact location is provided after your project has been confirmed.
-
Yes. Mail-in embroidery is available for approved projects. Please do not ship your item until your request has been reviewed and accepted. Once confirmed, I’ll provide shipping instructions and a quote for round-trip shipping based on the address provided with your request.
-
Yes. Your completed item can be shipped back to the return address provided with your request. Return shipping and tracking details will be confirmed as part of your project.
-
No. Please submit an Embroidery Request with photographs first. This allows me to confirm that the item can be embroidered safely before it is sent to the studio.
-
Turnaround time varies depending on the project, current workload, and whether shipping is involved. An estimated completion time will be provided when your project is accepted.
Live Embroidery Events
-
Yes. On-site embroidery is available for private events, brand activations, retail events, corporate gatherings, and other suitable occasions.
-
A curated menu of lettering, thread colors, or designs is prepared in advance so guests can choose their personalization during the event. Event details, item suitability, power requirements, timing, and production capacity are reviewed before booking.
-
Usually, yes, provided the items are suitable for the machine. Samples may be required in advance, particularly for delicate, unusual, or unfamiliar fabrics.
-
Visit the Live Embroidery Events page for details and submit an inquiry with your event date, location, approximate guest count, and the items you would like embroidered.
