Tips for creating embroidery-ready apparel designs
Set your designs up for clean, high-quality stitching with these embroidery guidelines.
Prepare your design for embroidery
Before your t-shirts go into production, prep your designs for high-quality results:
- Stick to simple, solid shapes for the best results
- Make every element, like your logo, at least 0.05” (1.3 mm) thick
- Use clean, readable text – no fine-line details
- Choose up to 6 thread colors for classic embroidery or opt for unlimited color embroidery
Embroidery works best on structured, breathable fabrics – avoid ultra-soft, thin garments that may shift during stitching. Learn more in our graphics and embroidery guide.

Frequently asked questions
Digitization is a process of converting your design into a file that embroidery equipment can read. 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.
At Printful, we handle this for you. The digitization fee is $6.50 per design, or $3.95 for text-based designs. Once digitized, you can reuse the design on other products using the same embroidery type. A small adjustment fee may apply, which costs $2.95.
No, we don’t accept embroidery files that have been digitized elsewhere. These files still need to be adjusted to work with Printful’s embroidery machines.
Absolutely. With MerchShare, you can easily place group orders for embroidered shirts and other custom products. Create a personalized embroidered shirt design template and share the link with your friends, crew, colleagues, or employees.
Each person can select their preferred shirt size, color, and shipping destination. We’ll take care of fulfillment and deliver the order directly to them.
Before washing, turn your shirt inside out. Then, machine-wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle. Due to the nature of embroidery stitching, avoid wringing the shirt after washing. You can also dry-clean embroidered shirts.
Available placements include the left chest, center chest, 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.

At Printful, embroidery shirts currently start at $11.48, depending on the brand and style. The final cost, which includes a one-time digitization fee, depends on stitching complexity, product choice, quantity, and shipping costs.
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. Popular ideas include logos, quotes, floral patterns, or minimalist art.
