How to place an embroidery order. part 2

In the last article we discussed our logos and apparel choices. These are the two most important items when it comes to embroidery. The next step will be taking your logo and your apparel to your embroiderer. Depending on who you are using these two steps may be intertwined within the process.

The next big step is to get a sample sew out if this is a first time logo. Most all embroiderers will provide a sample to cover themselves as well as the customer. This sample can be done on a scrap piece of material or on an actual piece of apparel. If this will be done on the actual apparel please remember to provide one extra for this purpose (if you are buying your apparel though the embroiderer then please let them know that you will need a sew out sample. They will more then likely cover the cost of this). There will more then likely be many sew outs while the digitizer is attempting to make your logo work. The final one will be the one needed to be approved.

Once your sew out is approved the job can begin production. Production can take days to weeks depending on the size of the order and the complexity of the logo. Please allow adequate time to allow for a quality product.

And that's it! This is not a simple process but that if professionally handled can be as painless as possible. If you have any questions feel free to leave a comment.
