Embroidery Toronto – Premium Textured Branding

What is Embroidery?

Embroidery uses industrial machines to stitch your design directly into fabric with high-quality thread. Unlike printing (which sits on top or absorbs into fabric), embroidery physically becomes part of the garment.

The process starts by converting your logo into a digitized embroidery file that tells the machine exactly where to place each stitch. Thread colors are matched to your design, and the machine stitches your logo directly into the fabric with precision.

The result? A premium, three-dimensional finish that lasts the lifetime of the garment, won't fade, crack, or peel, looks professional and high-end anddds perceived value to your apparel.

When to Choose Embroidery?

When to Choose Embroidery

Perfect for:
• Corporate uniforms and business apparel
• Hats, caps, and headwear
• Left chest logos and small branding
• Golf shirts, polos, jackets, and bags
• Premium positioning – embroidery signals quality

Not ideal if:
• Your design is photo-realistic or has gradients
• Design is very large (12"+ wide) – gets expensive due to stitch count
• You're printing on thin, lightweight fabrics (stitches can pucker)
• Design has tiny text under 3mm height (won't be legible)

Why Studio Mohar Embroidery?

Professional-Grade Equipment
Our commercial embroidery machines deliver precise, consistent stitching with up to 15 needle heads for complex color work. Every stitch is perfectly placed for a flawless finish.

Premium Thread Quality
We use high-grade polyester thread that resists fading, fraying, and wear. Your logo stays crisp and vibrant through hundreds of washes and years of daily wear.

Expert Digitizing
Every design is professionally digitized by our team to ensure optimal stitch density, direction, and underlay. This technical process is what separates amateur embroidery from professional results.

Better Blanks = Better Embroidery
Our premium cotton and performance fabrics provide the perfect surface for embroidery. Tight weaves prevent puckering and ensure your logo sits flat and professional.

Durable Beyond Comparison
Embroidery is the most permanent decoration method. It won't fade, crack, peel, or wear out.

Design Guidelines

For Best Embroidery Results:
• Vector files (AI, EPS, SVG) or high-res PNG/JPG
• Simple designs with solid shapes; avoid fine details
• Text at least 3-4mm height (smaller won't be legible)
• Limit design size to 4-5 inches wide for left chest
• Avoid very thin lines under 1mm (they won't stitch cleanly)

Common Questions:

Q: What's the difference between embroidery and printing?
A: Embroidery stitches thread into fabric, creating a raised 3D texture that's extremely durable. Printing applies ink on top or into fabric. Embroidery looks more premium and professional, especially for corporate wear, but doesn't work for photos or complex artwork.

Q: How durable is embroidery?
A: Embroidery is the most durable decoration method—it literally can't fade, crack, or peel because it's sewn into the fabric. With proper care, embroidered logos last the lifetime of the garment.

Q: What's digitizing and why do companies charge for it?
A: Digitizing converts your logo into a special file that tells the embroidery machine where to place each stitch. It's a skilled, time-intensive process done once per design. The good news? You don't pay digitizing fee with Studio Mohar.

Q: Can you embroider photos?
A: Not recommended. Embroidery works best with logos, text, and simple graphics. Photos require too many stitches and won't look photo-realistic. For photos, use DTG or DTF printing instead.

Q: What's your minimum for embroidery?
A: 12 pieces minimum for best pricing.

Q: Can you embroider hats and bags?
A: Yes. Embroidery is ideal for hats, caps, bags, and other items where printing doesn't work well. We have specialized equipment for curved surfaces and thick materials.
