Embroidery Fabric Guide
Introduction
When selecting a fabric for embroidery, consider a tight weave, a smooth surface, and a stable structure. Cotton, linen, polycotton, canvas, and Aida cloth are excellent options. Avoid fabrics that are slippery, stretchy, delicate, or tough, such as satin, knits, taffeta, leather, and chiffon. If you're unsure if your garment can be branded, don't worry. Before sending it to brand headquarters, we will review it and either approve or deny it based on specific qualifications. This guide is merely to help you determine which items are suitable candidates.
