PLEASE NOTE:

Please note that here are a number of things that can restrict us from being able to embroider on your item - pockets, zippers, linings, seams, fabric that is too thick or too delicate. We cannot say for sure that your item can be embroidered until we have seen it.

* Some backpacks with too many zippers or padding may not be able to be embroidered. We are not able to embroider Fjallraven Kanken backpacks.

    Custom Embroidery FAQs 

    Can I get a custom graphic embroidered?

    Yes, we can convert your logos, designs and artwork into a special format so they can be embroidered by our machines. It needs to be DIGITIZED for embroidery using an embroidery specific program operated by a trained digitizer.

    To learn more about digitizing and get a quote on your project click here: http://make-vancouver-2.myshopify.com/pages/digitizing-services-at-make

    Can I get embroidered patches made?

    We do custom order sales on singular items as well as large volume orders! For Volume order inquires please visit this link and request a quote: https://www.makevancouver.com/pages/get-a-quote-promotional-schwag

    Can I bring in my own item(s) to be embroidered?

    We embroider items purchased elsewhere all the time if they are suitable for embroidery.

    Not all items, even if they are constructed of fabric, can be embroidered. (If they are too small to hoop, have lots of zippers and pockets, or are thick padded fabrics, have layers of fabrics, are fragile or constructed in any way that prevents us from being able to hoop your item and secure it in our machine.)</p>

    Also, there are some things that we do not recommend be embroidered even if it is possible (examples of these are irreplaceable items, very thin or delicate fabrics, very expensive items, anything leather, anything the hoop may leave a mark on) Please bring your item intoMAKE at our Granville Island location to see if it works with embroidery.

    We will not embroider unwashed items, no exceptions.

    Do you have fonts and clip art to choose from?

    Yes! We have over 20 fonts to choose from: https://www.makevancouver.com/pages/embroidery-fonts

    NOTE - Text needs to be at least 0.2" high to work.

    We also have a new design book full of designs and icons, that is available for customers to review and choose from, at the embroidery desk.

    Can you reproduce photos in thread?

    Possibly. It depends on how complicated the photo is. Please note that you need to be the owner or creator of the image or have specific permission to use it. We do not reproduce copyright protected images or artwork without the permission of the creator or owner. Landscape or portrait photography does not translate well to embroidery. If you're looking to put this kind of photography onto clothing consider our Custom Printing Options:
