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.

Stitch Estimate Without Grid

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Haven’t found what you are looking for? Email or Contact us now here

Can custom embroidery and screen printing be added to the same garment?

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.

What types of fabrics are best suited for embroidery?

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.

What is the difference between hand and machine embroidery?

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.

Is there a color limit with embroidery?

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.

Is digitizing extra?

No! We don’t charge additional fees, everything is included.

How much do digitizing services cost?

Digitizing services typically cost between $20-60 but we offer our clients free digitizing services.

Can embroidery thread be pantone matched?

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.

What are the care instructions for custom embroidery?

Custom embroidery needs to be carefully washed & ideally never bleached. We produced a comprehensive guide to washing embroidery which can be found here.
