Hoodies
Custom embroidered hoodies are broken into three main categories: lightweight, midweight & heavyweight. Beyond that, there are many subcategories like custom cropped hoodies or custom organic hoodies. When deciding which product is right for your project you want to start by deciding which products is best suit for the style of custom embroidery you want. Custom 3D puff embroidery works best on a heavier custom hoodie to help the design really pop. If you’re interested in a fully monochromatic design, a custom PFD hoodie might be right for you.

Embroidery Tips
We’ve created this guide to assist you in estimating the number of stitches your design will require. Please note these are all approximations to provide an idea based on the line weight and size of your design. We are only able to receive exact stitch counts after a design has been digitized.
Text Size
Backgrounds
Artwork
3D/ Puff
Text Size
- Avoid using very small letters because the embroidered text might not be legible.
- Keep the text at least 0.25” in height and at least 0.05” thick.
- The minimum recommended line thickness for the regular satin stitch is 0.05”.
- For thinner lines we’ll use run stitch (a single line of stitches).
- You can measure the text in Illustrator either by using the measuring tool, or by converting the font point size to inches. You can do this by going to:
File > Preferences > Units > General > Inches - 0.25” is equivalent to approximately 36pt, and the letters will also have the necessary thickness. But this depends on the font.
- We recommend using simple fonts.
Backgrounds
- Account for underlay stitches when calculating stitch count.
- Aim for a balanced stitch density for the background – not too few (sparse coverage) or too many (dense and bulky appearance).
- Recommended stitch density for most background areas is 6-12 stitches per inch (SPI) or 2-5 stitches per centimeter (SPC).
Artwork
- Simplify intricate designs and patterns, especially if they have fine details or small text.
- Embroidery might not replicate extremely intricate elements as precisely as digital images.
- Opt for clean lines and well-defined shapes in your design to ensure better embroidery results.
- Start with high-resolution artwork, preferably in vector format, allow for easy scalability without losing quality.
- If your design includes text, convert the fonts to outlines or paths.
3D/ Puff
- Consider the thickness of the foam carefully, as it can impact the design’s visibility and feel on the finished merchandise, experiment with different foam heights to find the perfect balance.
- To make the 3D puff embroidery stand out, use contrasting thread colors that complement the background fabric.
- Proper underlay and stitch density are critical for a clean and well-defined finished product.
- Not all designs are well-suited for 3D puff embroidery. Opt for designs with bold and simple shapes, as they tend to work best.
- Avoid intricate designs with thin lines, as they may not translate well with this technique.
Embroidery Stitch Count
Stitch Estimate Grid
Shown here is a 4” x 4” grid broken down in 0.25” squares. Each 0.25” block is approximately 65 stitches if filled in completely. Each 1” (or sixteen 0.25” blocks) would be approximately 1,000 stitches if completely filled in. Completely filled in means there is no negative space remaining and your design takes up the whole area. If a 1” block is only half or 50% filled in then it would only require approximately 500 stitches.
We understand this might be confusing, your personal account reps are available to walk to you through this stitch count estimator as well.
An approximation of stitches can be found with this equation:
Multiply Width x Height x 1,000 = Total Approx. Stitches.
Example: 1.5” W x 2” H Logo (1.5 x 2 x 1,000 = 3,000).
This logo would have approximately 3,000 stitches.
Tips to follow
- Each letter at 0.25” in height = approximately 100 stitches.
- Letters should be no smaller than 0.25” for optimum clarity.
- If logo has a drop shadow, add 200 stitches per inch.
- Remember this rule of thumb: drop shadows are usually equal to two times the number of stitches for each letter with a drop shadow.
- There may be other factors that affect your stitch count, such as fabric type, color or intricacies of your logo.
- Left chest designs tend to be no more than 3.5” square.
- Hat designs can be no more than 2.25” in height.
- If parts of the design go outside the grid box, figure the percentage of the fill and add it to your total stitch estimation. In other words, if your extra box is only half full, add 250 stitches to your final estimate.

Absolutely, the mix of services can create a very unique look on your custom garment. The layers offer additional dimension to your garment. Another great use of mixed services is adding an embroidered logo.
Lightweight natural fabrics such as cotton, linen, and silk are well suited for machine embroidery, while heavier fabrics like denim and canvas are better for hand embroidery. Canvas and other heavy fabrics require thicker needles and stronger thread.
Hand embroidery is done by hand using needles and thread, while machine embroidery is accomplished by a computer-controlled machine that stitches the design into fabric. Hand embroidery is generally more time-consuming, but offers better control and flexibility in the design. Machine embroidery is faster and easier to use, but may require more expensive equipment.
No, the only color limitations are found in tonal shifts. Embroidery is only possible with solid colors. If you’re looking for a high level of complex detail. a service like DTG might be better suited for your needs.
No! We don’t charge additional fees, everything is included.
Digitizing services typically cost between $20-60 but we offer our clients free digitizing services.
Unfortunately no, we cannot pantone match thread however, we do have a massive library threads to choose from. If you are still looking for a flawlessly matched thread to your garment, we suggest dying your garment to match the thread.
Custom embroidery needs to be carefully washed & ideally never bleached. We produced a comprehensive guide to washing embroidery which can be found here.
