Use text and lines with a minimum height of 0.25" (6.4mm) and thickness of 0.05" (1.3mm) for regular stitching.

For lines below the minimum thickness, a run stitch will be used as an alternative.

Create embroidery-specific designs. Due to their complexity, most graphics that work with DTG will not be suitable for embroidery.

Use vector images (in PDF format or PNG files with at least 150 DPI) with solid shapes and colors, not photographic images.

Stick to solid colors and designs, filling any empty space to maintain edge integrity.

Avoid distressed or textured graphics.

Use small and simple designs on thin garments to guarantee quality and durability. Large and complex embroidery designs require a high stitch count, which will stress thin fabric.

Design your embroidery design slightly larger than intended. The embroidery is applied on a stretched garment, resulting in a finished design slightly smaller than the file submitted.

Use a transparent background when possible.

Keep backgrounds to a minimum in large areas to stay within the stitch count limit. Consider scaling down graphics by up to 50% if a background is essential.

For best results, limit text to 10 characters per line in side embroidery areas.
