FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I iron on embroidered patches?

Yes — with an iron-on backing, they attach with a household iron in under a minute. Sew-on backing is also available for a more permanent hold.

How many thread colors can I use?

Most designs use up to 8–12 thread colors cleanly. More colors are possible — send us your design and we'll confirm.

What's the difference between flat and 3D puff embroidery?

Flat embroidery sits directly on the fabric; 3D puff embroidery adds a foam layer underneath the stitching so bold shapes and lettering stand up off the surface.
