Embroidery: Decorative sewing on fabric or other substrate that incorporates design elements, text or other recognition, commercial or promotional graphics.

Originally executed by hand, embroidery has evolved through various stages of technology to its current state of computer-driven, multi-head, multi-color embroidery machines.

Changes in the artwork may be necessary for the embroidery to look clean. Lettering that is too small or excessive details on paper may not translate into a well embroidered design.

After the design is digitized, a test sample is sewn prior to being placed on a garment.
