Embroidery
Made for quality!
Real Thread sets itself apart from other custom embroidery shops by slowing down the stitching to maintain control over the quality of the finished product.
While some shops pump out as many as 11,000 stitches per minute with machinery like ours, our team chooses to max out around 800 stitches per minute—ensuring that the job is done to the highest possible quality, regardless of how many units are in your order.

Three Embroidery Options
Standard Embroidery
Standard embroidery uses basic thread/yarn; the final result is nearly flat on your chosen garment. Metallic thread can be used to add a bit of flare.
Puff Embroidery
Puff uses a thick, foam-like material that is then stitched over, resulting in designs that pop off the garment and create a 3D effect.
Patches
Patches are a great way to add a detailed and complex design to hats, bags, sweatshirts, jackets, and other apparel items.
Bringing embroidered apparel to life.
Our team of stitching wizards/clothing embroiderers are at the ready. Here's how we take your design from cool idea to tangible item.
Design like the wind
Get started by determining what design you want to embroider, and on what garment! Need help making that call? Let us help.
Let's get digital
Using digital design software, we create a model of your design that includes the necessary stitching to bring it to life—kind of like the process of 3D graphic design.
Oops, I did it again...
Here's where our custom embroidery services really come into play: once your design is digitized and ready to be stitched, the embroidery process consists of punching the thread into the garment...over and over again.
The big reveal
After we remove any excess backing and cut off any flyaway stitches, your garment is complete!
