Embroidery On The Bill?

Can hats be embroidered on the bill and side? Occasionally I receive requests for custom embroidery on the bill and side of caps. Often these inquiries include images of hats with this type of design. We've all seen these designs so it must be doable, right? While its possible to embroider a small logo on the side of a hat its not feasible to embroider on the bill after the hat has been assembled.

Due to embroidery machine limitations, hat front designs must be started approximately ¼ inch above the brim, thus preventing the embroiderer from embroidering to the brim. When embroidered the bill area, the needle must penetrate the bill at a high speed while maintaining consistent thread tension from the upper thread and lower bobbin thread. Because the brim is supported by a heavy piece of cardboard, the needle can't penetrate this thickness to make a stitch. Thus, the bill can only be embroidered before it is assembled.

So, what about the bill designs you've seen? Those hats are from large quantity runs where it was cost effective to have the design embroidered before the caps were assembled. While the embroidered bill look is "cool", most orders aren't large enough to consider having the hats embroidered before they are sewn together.

Embroidered Logo: Get The Right Colors!

How do you get the correct thread colors in your custom embroidered logo? The colors may look right in the digital proof your embroiderer emailed but colors can vary according to your monitor settings. You can request an embroidered sample but sometimes you can't afford the additional time delay. What can you do? As soon as you choose an embroiderer, send a color sample of your logo such as a business card or brochure so your embroiderer can match the thread colors in your logo to your color sample.

When considering minor shade differences, what if matching the exact shades isn't as important as having thread colors that look good (contrast well) against the shirt color? Let your embroiderer pick the best thread shade for each color!
