Embroidery gives a premium, stitched finish that reads as professional. Here’s how your logo gets sewn onto backpacks, polos and caps by multi-head machines.
1. Digitizing the Logo
Before any thread is used, the logo must be digitized — converted into stitch data.
- Stitch types (satin, fill, running) are chosen for the artwork
- Density and underlay are set so the logo stitches cleanly and lies flat
- Good digitizing prevents gaps, puckering and thread breaks during the run
2. Hooping
The garment or panel is fixed in a hoop that holds the fabric taut.
- Square hoops for flat areas, cap frames for curved caps
- Proper tension stops fabric shifting that would blur the logo
- Placement is aligned to the marked position (e.g. left chest, center back)
3. Multi-Head Stitching
Multi-head machines stitch many identical pieces in one pass.
- Each head carries the same design and thread colors
- Automatic color change swaps thread between stops
- A 6-head machine produces 6 items per cycle, more per head counts up with heads
4. Trimming and Finishing
Threads are trimmed and catches are cleaned up after stitching.
- Jump stitches are clipped so the back is clean
- The finished piece is checked against the approved sample
5. Inspection
Embroidered pieces are inspected for density, color match and placement before packing.
