What type of image do I need?
The essence of a good quality embroidery design is in the quality of the image itself. The design images can be sent as VECTOR images like Corel (AI) or Adobe (EPS) which are best; you can also send JPEG/JPG, WMF, EMF, BMP, GIF, TIF, or scanned images with a resolution equal or greater than 400 DPI. Your image should be sent in the actual size of the logo you wish to have digitized. If you are unable to size the image, please give us the dimensions and we will gladly resize it for you.

Clear artwork will allow us to give precision to the design and it is also important to let us know what type of fabric your logo will be applied to. With this knowledge we can make your logo come to life using the best techniques available.

What is the proper format for a monogram for a married couple? Does the woman's first initial come first?

Yes, for a married couple, the surname first letter is in the middle surrounded by the bride's first initial on the left and the groom's first initial on the right.


What is the correct way to make a monogram for someone who has multiple last names? For example:

"David St. John" (last name is two-part)     "June Carter Cash" (two last names)    “Jane Smith-Brown" (last name is hyphenated)
    The monograms would be:
    David St. John: DStJ        June Carter Cash: JCC      Jane Smith-Brown: JSB

My fiance and I picked out invitations for our wedding and like the idea of using a monogram on the outside with our future married monogram. The monogram has our married last name initial with our first name initials on either side. When I told my mother about the monogram, she said it was ridiculous to have that monogram on a wedding invitation since my name hadn't changed yet. Is she right?


While it's becoming more common to see the married monogram on a wedding invitation, it is not really proper. Generally, a wedding   monogram with your married last name initial is used after the wedding for thank you notes.
Monogrammed wedding invitations use either the bride's initials or the first name initials of the couple.

How would you do a  monogram for a  baby gift for a friend as well as some nursery decor and bedding for  children. What is the correct order of initials? For example, would Jane Anne Smith would be JAS? I also heard that the first initial of the last name should be placed in the middle, so is it JSA?

A traditional monogram would have three letters with the last name initial in the middle and the first name initial to the left and middle name initial to the right: JSA. If choosing this  style, then the last name initial is larger than the other two initials next to it.

However, nontraditional or contemporary monogram initials can also be arranged in the same order as the name or using double or single initials.

Monogram examples for Jane Anne Smith

1. Traditional: JSA (initial order: first, last, middle; the S should be larger than the J and A)

2. Contemporary three initials: JAS (initial order: first, middle, last; letters all the same size)

3. Two initials: JS (first and last)

4. One initial: J or S (first or last)

 

Commercial embroidery is a special application of a centuries-old technique for creating beautiful fabric designs with needles and thread. Ordinary fabric in a solid color or combination of colors is transformed into a backdrop for your message, logo, floral design, or other threadwork pattern.

In the 21st century, a commercial embroidery machine takes the thread we select in your preferred color, such as nylon or rayon thread, and embroiders the thread into the fabric. The final result is a pattern that is recognizable to the human eye.

Embroidery Classics is a company that understands the technical and aesthetic elements of completing each custom order. Our employees set the machine to use the right tension to embroider thread into a custom design.

If needed, designs are also reinforced with fabric backings, which hold the thread pattern in place over the long-term without being visible from the outside. That’s how many of your favorite sports hats and caps survive frequent spins in the washing machine.

Embroidery Classics also offers special types of embroidery services to assist diverse customer needs. When you find a garment in the style, color, size, and price that meets your organizational or personal needs, you should choose the right embroidery design to decorate it.

That’s where working with an embroidery design consultant comes in handy. Let our consultant recommend designs that help you reach your goals and steer you away from designs that do not achieve your goals.

The customers of Embroidery Classics are not just businesses and organizations looking for bulk orders. We work with individuals and families needing custom-embroidered items for gifts and special occasions.

A great wedding gift to give to newlyweds, for instance, is a set of towels embroidered with their initials. You just have to use your instincts to pick the right colors and styles that will satisfy the recipients of your gifts.

Embroidered gifts are also great for baby garments, blankets, robes, bedding, and other personal items. Use your imagination. Think about adding initials, messages, or logos can transform an ordinary gift into an extraordinary gift.

Not just gift orders, but business and team orders, are the stuff we do at Embroidery classics. We perform custom embroidery applications, including Western Embroidery Designs, Long Sleeve Embroidery, and Sports Embroidery Designs.
