What to consider for embroidered logos

Designing a logo for embroidery requires careful attention to detail, as the final product will be stitched onto fabric. Here are some tips to keep in mind when designing a logo for embroidery:

1. Keep it simple: Embroidery works best with simple designs that are easy to replicate with stitches. Avoid intricate details and keep the design clean and minimalistic.
2. Consider colour and contrast: Make sure the colours you choose are high contrast and will stand out against the fabric. Avoid using colours that are too similar, as they can be difficult to distinguish once embroidered.
3. Use readable fonts: If your logo includes text, choose a readable font that will be easy to embroider. Avoid using script or cursive fonts, as they can be difficult to read once embroidered.
4. Keep size in mind: Consider the size of the logo when designing it. A good example is left chest logos; remember the typical left chest logo is between 8cm-10cm wide, so small detail and text should be made as bold/big as possible.
5. Avoid fades/gradients: Embroidery detail is limited to what can be produced by a thread.  Although threads can be graduated together it causes many layers of thread and is recommended to be solid colours instead of fades.

By keeping these tips in mind, you can create a logo that is suitable for embroidery and will look great on your chosen item
