Your Embroidered Logo: Neon Thread Colors?

Love bright colors? Vibrant colors look especially good against darker colored apparel such as black hoodies, charcoal colored fleece and pullovers in navy. Using bold, vivid thread colors can make an embroidered design really stand out.  But, this isn’t necessarily true for thread in neon colors.

I prefer to use “almost neon” thread shades when a customer requests neon colors. My reason? Neon colored thread is sightly thicker and less reflective than typical embroidery thread. When these threads are used for an embroidered logo the finished design doesn’t look quite as nice as if the same logo was embroidered with “almost neon” thread. Instead, the appearance is similar to designs embroidered in white thread where each individual strand is obvious and every little imperfection is noticeable. Instead of choosing a neon color, I use the next brightest shade in a non-neon thread. While the color might not be quite as bright, the quality of the embroidery will look better.
