Embroidery adds that special touch to clothing

The ever-useful Wikipedia defines embroidery as: “ … an ancient form of needlework that has been used worldwide to embellish textiles for decorative and communicative purposes. In terms of form and aesthetics, embroidery may add colour, texture, richness, and dimension”. There is no doubt that embroidery adds an extra touch of luxury and class to any clothing or textile item. The skill, time and patience which go into traditional embroidery make any article decorated through this method something of a rarity and much admired. Whilst traditional hand embroidery might not be practised that much in the Western World, machine embroidery has earned its place for off-the-peg clothing and corporate wear. 

Jazz up your off-the-peg clothing with embroidery

Whilst buying clothes off-the-peg has become the standard way of clothing oneself, there is the problem of lack of individuality and wearing items which are similarly worn by many others. Very few people have the means to be able to afford unique, bespoke clothing, but personalising your clothing through embroidery or any other means of decoration will go a long way to making it stand out from the run of the mill item you purchased initially. A simple dress may easily be turned into a beautiful evening gown through embroidery and incorporated sequins or beads, and plain knitted jumpers can be turned into something special and eye-catching with this technique.

Want your logo to stand out? Use embroidery!

Large corporates, educational institutions, medical facilities, catering companies, as well as a host of other commercial enterprises often make use of embroidery to personalise their standard-issue uniforms.

Embroidered logos add a touch of class and luxury which screen-printed or sublimination printing simply cannot compete with, as well as being longer-lasting overall. Embroidery is also used for logo displays on sporting caps, shirts, jackets, and give-away items such as towels, scarves, handkerchiefs, etc. Embroidery is extremely versatile in that it can be used across several different materials, such as cloth, canvas, soft leather and suede, making it a great option for that extra-special gift or souvenir. Many high-end handbags, wallets, purses, spectacle cases, etc. feature logos which have been embroidered onto their surfaces, either in one colour or the full logo colours. Machine embroidery, which is standard for the production of most embroidered items, guarantees a result which is identical across the whole order, so you can be assured of a top-class product, no matter how large or small the quantity.

How to find the right embroidery specialist

Check their online ratings and customer reviews

Whilst it is not easy to find embroidery specialists on the high street, they can be found quite easily via the internet, especially if you use a dedicated search site such as Uptasker. Uptasker’s particular appeal is that it lists per geographical area, making it easy to find a service provider in your own area. Online ratings and customer reviews can also be found on this site, which is extremely useful in gauging the quality of the services on offer, as well as ‘one-click’ links to suppliers’ websites, if available. Many suppliers have online catalogues which showcase the kind of embroidery they specialise in, with photographs of previous work, so it is possible for you to see different styles of embroidery and possibly glean some different ideas. If you wish, you can also search the Yellow Pages, look through clothing magazines, speak to tailors and dressmakers, or use good old-fashioned word-of-mouth referrals.

Top embroidery specialist tips

There is no doubt that embroidery adds that special touch of luxury and class to any item on which it is used. It hints at a unique quality which sets it apart from other, more everyday articles. It shows that care has been taken in the manufacture and presentation of clothing, bed linens, towels, corporate uniforms, and sportswear. It makes articles stand out as being just that little bit more exclusive than items with printed logos. Embroidery brings a dash of high-end individuality and extra care to any logo or design, particularly in the corporate and sports environments. Whether used alone, or incorporated with other decorative items such as beads, sequins, pearls and quills, embroidery adds glamour and class wherever it is used.  For more tips and information, see Uptasker’s embroidery specialist articles and suppliers’ listings.
