Our Embroidery Work Around Bloomington

Jean Embroidery

Company
Whiskey Empire
Overview
We provided custom embroidery for Whiskey Empire’s premium heavyweight denim aprons. Their branding was stitched in metallic gold thread, standing out boldly against the rich indigo denim. The result is a rugged yet rened nish—durable for daily use, but polished enough to showcase their brand with pride.

Hat Embroidery

Company
Growmark/FS
Overview
For the past two years, MCW has had the privilege of embroidering several hundred hats for Growmark to be given out at the annual Farm Progress Show. Each hat is stitched with precision to showcase the FS brand, highlight the importance of farming, and honor the pride of being a great American farmer—creating a high-quality giveaway that attendees can wear with honor.

Blanket Embroidery

Company
University High School
Overview
Custom embroidery for the University High School Swim Team was added to super soft eece blankets. Each blanket was personalized with the swimmer’s name alongside the team logo, making a cozy, durable, and one-of-a-kind gift for a hard-working and dedicated team.

Beanie Embroidery

Company
Lil Beaver Brewery
Overview
MCW created a fresh take on Lil Beaver Brewery’s beaver logo, which we then custom embroidered onto super warm eece beanies. The updated design paired with the cozy, durable beanies makes for a stylish way to showcase the brand while staying comfortable in any season.

Jersey Embroidery

Hockey Fan
Overview
MCW customized a customer-provided hockey jersey for a dedicated superfan, adding precision embroidery and personalization to transform it into a standout piece. The custom details gave the jersey a unique look that perfectly blends team spirit with individual style.
FAQ

Screen Printing Bloomington Frequently Asked Questions

Digitizing is the expert process of converting your logo into a stitch map that our embroidery machines can read. It’s a crucial step for quality. We typically charge a one-time digitizing fee, but once it’s done, you can reuse that file for future orders with us.

Our minimum for embroidery is often lower than screen printing, typically around 6-12 pieces, making it a great option for smaller teams or premium gifts.

While we can, we generally advise against it. The density of the stitching can pull or pucker thin fabric. We recommend embroidery for heavier garments like polos, hats, jackets, and sweatshirts for the best results, and our Bloomington team can show you samples.

Most chest and hat logos are between 2.5 and 4 inches wide. While we can do larger designs on the back of a jacket, embroidery is best suited for classic, impactful logos rather than large, full-back graphics.

Unlike screen printing, embroidery pricing is based primarily on the stitch count of your design—the more complex and dense the logo, the higher the stitch count. Other factors include the quantity of items and the specific garment you choose. The best way to get an exact price is to request a free quote.

Vector files (.ai, .eps, .svg) are always best because they ensure a clean conversion. However, don’t worry if you don’t have one! We can work with high-resolution images like .png or .jpeg. Our expert designers will handle the crucial digitizing process to ensure your logo looks sharp in thread.

Yes, absolutely. We have a vast selection of thread colors and can match your brand’s Pantone (PMS) colors as closely as possible to ensure a consistent and professional look across all your materials. You can view our thread options in person at our Bloomington showroom.
