Your Embroidered Logo: Changes?
Last time we discussed what changes can be made to your artwork to make it work for embroidery. Wondering what changes can't easily be made?
Change the font - a font in your artwork can't be changed to another font unless you provide artwork for the new font. But, if there is very small text in a detailed font sometimes that font can be switched to a more common font so the text is more readable at a small size.
Downsize the logo to whatever size is needed - depending on the amount of detail and the required size you may be able to downsize your logo.
Add a border or shadow - a border or shadow can be added if there is enough room in the design.
Not sure what changes can be made to your artwork? Ask your embroiderer. They can correctly size your logo and let you know if any changes are needed.

Your Embroidered Logo: Modifying Artwork?
You had a new business logo designed recently but you've never used it to purchase embroidered shirts. You realize your logo might need modifications to make it "embroidery-friendly" but what does that mean? What types of changes can be made?
Resize artwork? - Artwork can be resized but it may be impossible to embroider small details. Instead it may be better to simplify or eliminate those details.
Change colors? - The colors in your embroidered design can be different than in your artwork. If you change the colors make sure they look balanced and show up well against the garment color.
Eliminate elements? - Design elements such as small text, shadows and borders can be eliminated. If you eliminate shadows and borders make sure you can easily read your logo without modifying the colors.
Resize elements? - Design elements can be resized if there is enough room within the embroidery area. For example, small text can be enlarged to make it more readable.
Kern text? - Unwanted space can be eliminated between individual characters of a word so the connector threads aren't visible.
Divide text? - Small text can be divided into two lines and increased in size so its more readable.
Remove white background? - The white background of a jpeg image can be easily removed. If you have white elements in your design note that those elements are to be in white thread so they aren't removed.

Your Embroidered Logo: Fit Everyone!
Hate being that guy wearing a navy blue shirt when everyone else is wearing light blue or stone - especially when its hot outside and all the sun's rays seem drawn to your shirt? If only the company embroiderer provided a better selection of tall sized button down shirts...
Its one year later. You've just received this year's embroidered shirts. You take a look. Wait - instead of the typical navy shirts you've got light blue and stone! Is this a size mix-up? You try them on and they FIT! The tags say XLT! Now you can wear big and tall embroidered button down shirts in colors that match your fellow employees! Now you can wear shirts that fit and you "fit" in with your group.
