On-Site Live Embroidery FAQs

Embroidery is compact and takes up very little space per machine. For events, we need space near a power source that fits a 48" x 24" folding table and 2 folding chairs.

*Some events may require multiple embroidery machines, depending upon the quantity required.

Power Requirement: For 1 to 2 embroidery machines, we will require 1 circuit.

The turnaround time to embroider depends on the size of the icon or font and how many characters are being embroidered. On average initials usually can be embroidered in under 2 minutes. A name or icon with multiple colors may require up to 5 minutes.

However, something to keep in mind is event attendance, a single embroidery machine can embroider between 10-15 items per hour. Example: if someone is 5th in the line/que, their wait time could be between 10-30 minutes

We recommend booking 4-6 hours for on-site embroidery and offering either of the below embroidery formats for events:

Option 1: Free embroidery on one item of customers choice with minimum purchase (typically ranging from $150-$250)

Option 2: Free embroidery on a free gift item with purchase / for select members / for the first X customers

The most popular personal embroidery items for apparel (shirts, tank tops, or sweatshirts), tote bags, and toiletry bags. You may of course select any other item and we will confirm if we can embroider it on-site.

*NOTE: Our embroidery machines can easily embroider on cotton, polyester, and rayon. Our embroidery machines are not compatible to handle hats or thick material such as denim.

Thread – Pick from hundreds of different thread colors. We recommend a maximum of 3-5 thread colors.
Fonts – Pick from thousands of different fonts We recommend a maximum of 2 fonts and limiting the text to five characters.
Icons – Select from different icons we have available or work with us to create custom graphics to bring your brand to life
