Tips for creating embroidery-ready apparel designs
Design your embroidery file and start showcasing your brand with confidence
Prepare your design for embroidery
Before your t-shirts go into production, prep your design according to these guidelines:
- Stick to simple shapes with thick lines for the best results
- Make every element, like your logo, at least 0.05″ (1.3 mm) thick
- Use clean, readable text or graphic designs—no fine-line details
- Choose up to 6 thread colors from our 15-color palette
- Go bold with unlimited color embroidery if you want gradient styles
Have your designs digitized
We’ll handle digitization for you. Just upload your file, and we’ll convert it into a format our custom embroidery machines can read. It’s a one-time $6.50 fee (or $3.95 for text made in our Design Maker), and you can reuse the file unlimited times later.

Frequently asked questions
Digitization is a process where we convert your design into a file our embroidery equipment understands. This process involves formatting the stitch type, density, and color—all the details our machines need to recognize and embroider the design exactly as you imagined it.
Embroidery digitization requires a one-time payment of $6.50 or $3.95 if you create the design in our Design Maker. You can reuse the digitized design as many times as you like.
No, we don’t accept embroidery files that have been digitized elsewhere. These files still need to be adjusted to work with our embroidery machines.

Go for the left chest, center, left sleeve, both sleeves, or, for some shirts, a large center placement. You can also mix things up and add direct-to-garment (DTG) designs on the back, too.

On Printful, embroidery shirts start at $8.77, depending on the brand and style. You'll also need to factor in shipping costs, which vary by location and delivery method. Custom embroidery also includes a one-time digitization fee. The final cost depends on stitching complexity, product choice, and quantity ordered.
To embroider a shirt at home, you’ll need embroidery thread, a stabilizer, a hoop, and either a machine or a needle for hand-stitching.
