Things You Should Know about Custom Embroidery
There are a few important things to consider when turning a design into embroidery:
Your Design May Need Slight Alterations
If a design has small details, we may need to reduce the amount of detail or simplify the design, so it sews cleanly. For example, we may remove outlines, tiny details, and/or shading. All these necessary changes will be reflected on your online proof.
Minimum Height for Text Embroidery is 1/4 Inch
We know that your branding is important to you, and you want people to read it. We recommend all embroidered text be no smaller than 1/4 inch. If your text is smaller than that, we will likely need to increase the size to ensure legibility.
Some Design Proportions
Might Change
To ensure clean stitching, we may adjust some details of your design, slightly altering proportions. These changes will be shown in your online proof, allowing you to review and approve them before production while maintaining quality and clarity.

Frequently Asked Questions about Custom Embroidery
Custom embroidery is the process of taking any design or logo that you have, converting it to a stitchable file, and sewing it on something. While we offer mostly apparel items, embroidery can be done on thousands of items including non-apparel such as backpacks, and duffel bags.
We recommend embroidery on hats and polos when possible. It offers a high end, professional look. Not all logos are good for embroidery, but our team can find a way to edit your design to make it eye-catching. Pro Tip: Embroidery is not always more expensive than screen printing.
Yes, we can sew many different items as part of the same order, enabling you to receive a quantity price break. There are some exceptions (when the digitized design needs to be changes due to the chosen material). Contact us for specific details on your order.
First, we take your logo or design and digitize it, which means telling the machine where to sew stitches, what stitch type to use, and which thread color goes where. We take your product and hoop it so it can be attached to the machinery, as well as apply a special backing to have something for the stitching to adhere to. We then sew your design, remove it from machines, cut and trim the backing, and remove any loose threads. The end result is a product that you will have for years to come.
Embroidery is considered a permanent application when done correctly. A high quality digitized and embroidery design should last years, typically beyond the life of the actual shirt.
If an embroidered design looks puckered it's likely that the incorrect backing was used, the garment was too thin, or the file that was used to create the embroidery was done poorly. Our highly trained embroidery professionals will make sure this does not occur on your product.
Yes! We offer built in quantity based discounts that automatically reward you for purchasing embroidery in bulk. Learn more about our Wholesale & Bulk Embroidery
No! While you might think that you will receive faster delivery, that is not true most of the time. Broken Arrow has one of the largest embroidery production capacities in the United States with 50+ heads of machinery. This results in the ability for us to turn your embroidered items faster. Also, we offer free digitizing, free shipping and no taxes from out-of-state orders, so ordering local will likely not save you money either.
Unless the item is specifically designed for embroidery on a pocket, sewing the design on the pocket will sew the pocket shut. On items with a pocket, we suggest above pocket embroidery or the alternative chest.
Custom Embroidered Shirts add a Professional Touch
Polo shirts are a classic choice for business, professional, and team apparel. Pair them with custom jackets, travel bags, and more. Your design is stitched on to your apparel by our automated machines creating a clean and consistent result. Specialty puff embroidery is also available which gives your design a raised-up look and feel, for a fun twist on stitched logos! With our cheap prices and high-quality standards, you'll be loving your new custom garments. We've been embroidering garments since 1989 and have converted over 50,000 logos from paper to stitches. Our team will make any necessary revisions to ensure that your custom embroidered logo will be clean, legible and will add the professional touch you've been longing for. To learn more about our customized embroidery services, check out some of our samples below. Not only can we do custom embroidered shirts, but we also offer other apparel items such as beanies, hoodies and baseball caps.
Custom Embroidery Done Right!
Broken Arrow has been doing custom embroidery for big and small businesses for over 25 years. Although many companies offer embroidery, it doesn't mean the quality and finished product will be as impressive. Each custom embroidery design is digitized specially for the garment that it goes on and each design is tested before application to your products. Did you know that hat designs are best when embroidered from the center out, and polo logos look best when sewn from left to right? If your previous embroidery company is using the same sewing methods on all garments, you are not getting the best custom embroidery possible! Compare our custom embroidery against any others and you will not be disappointed. Let our customer service team assist you to ensure your embroidered apparel quality is second to none.
