OT?-Anyone do custom embroidery?
 

Was wondering if anyone did any custom embroidery for hats/t-shirts/etc.?

There are various shops that do that in malls... They usually sell hats and have a computer controlled embroidery machine...

Check your local mall..

i did iwebsite for an embriodery companya while back

When you talk to them be sure you get rights to the "stitch file". That way you can have anyone make more in the future. My wife actually got her own computer embroidery amchine (one of her many toys) to avoid the hassle of dealing with shops for stuff.

GregP....thanks for the info. I'll be looking into this hopefully this week!

nobody on the board does it????10k of us and nobody...

I'm with you dyno....I figured someone would pipe right up as having a business like this. Maybe we should start one? With 10,000 members all having boats and many of us (most I would guess) like to have matching "stuff"......business opportunity?

My aunt does it. She's a one person retiree that is doing this for the fun of it. She's a very nice person with good artistic skills. She is capable of creating art work or working with preexisting art. e-mail me or pm me if you're interested. [email protected]

Here's the contact info for the guy that did the Yellow Jackets Corvette club stuff for my wife. Setup cost was like $150 to digitize the original design and convert it to a stitch file, then people can just order what they want with the design.

I can get stuff done for you. How many pieces do you want to do, the set up is the exspensive part.

Star enterprises in Il did my jacket and shirts back in 2002
I found them at the Chicago boat show that year.
Did great work. Can do anything from just a photo.
They did my jacket and shirts from a picture of my boat. Turned out great.
Will be looking at them agian this fall for a new jacket since the one I have now no longer fits. :)
Do not remember the cost, which is probably better since it was 2 years ago.

Hough,
When we were at the show in Chicago a couple weeks ago I stop by there display. I thought I saw a picture of your boat there. Did they do your boat for you?

Rick

Rick, yes they did
Did a faboulus job of it too
I have sent many people to them and they will be getting more work from me this coming winter.
I bought a jacket, two shirts with the boat on the upper left chest, a boarding ensignia also.
Wish I would have time to stop by this year when I was there, but missed the show :(

Here's a recommendation for a shop to digitize your design such that any embroidery shop can sew it from the embroidery list (my wife is a member).

I'm new to owning my own embroidery business and just recently found a digitizer that is VERY reasonable. Go to www.puncher.com there prices are really good, and if you aren't happy with the results they edit for free until it is right.

Balarad is very reasonable, too. I haven't had them do one for me yet but I have gotten a price which
was very reasonable. My customer hasn't made a decision yet.
