Embroidery adds an elegant and distinctive look to logos and other designs on corporate or fund-raising gear. The image has more weight, texture, and color options than screen-printed projects. To get the best look, it is important to keep in mind how embroidery is different than printing methods. Here are three tips to help any project look better.
Use Firmer Fabric
Use fabric with a high thread count or choose a sturdy fabric like denim or canvas when embroidering an image. Embroidered areas are heavy, and a stiffer fabric makes the image more stable to protect the integrity of the design. Embroidery done on thin, soft cloth does not allow for well-formed stitches, and the design will often sag.
Review Color Wheels
Embroidery in Bonner Springs uses many more colors than a screen-printed image, so it is possible to match an original design very closely. A color wheel, available at any craft shop, enables people to design their logos or other illustrations with confidence in their color pairing.
Color wheels allow people to know what colors work together well, and what to avoid. On a wheel, the wedges next to each other are varying shades of the same color that are useful for highlighting and shading images. Colors across the color wheel are complementary choices that enhance each other.
Check Sample Images
Look beyond the embroidered image when reviewing the project. See a mock-up of the final design on the clothing, tote bag, or any other desired product to make certain the size and scale of the design look accurate. The image should not overwhelm the entire item, but it needs to be large enough to draw attention. It is often a good idea with embroidery in Bonner Springs to place a sample order for each type of product to make certain everything looks appealing.
Embroidery is a way to create a long-lasting and attractive branded item for any purpose. Sewed embroidered designs do not peel off, and unlike printed items, the artwork does not crack or peel, so the piece is useful for much longer. Click here to learn how to custom design a project.
