About my embroidery process
All work takes place on my collection of antique
hand controlled embroidery machines, not a computer*
My design and fabrication process
1. Quote: Starting at a $250 minimum for orders, my prices are based on embroidery size, design complexity, and the number of colors. Detailed quotes include lead time (typically 3-6 weeks) with rush orders also available.
2. Design: I can work with customer's artwork in most file formats, hand sketches, or I can design original artwork for your project (for an additional design fee).
3. Stitching: Chainstitch and Chenille is done in my studio on one of my antique hand guided machines. I also offer tackle twill, applique and modern embroidery.
4. Patch attachment: Sewing your patches on is the finishing touch, and I can do it in several different styles.
Chainstitch and chenille projects are made on these antique machines using a free-hand steering handle under the machine to control it, not a computer
Let's get started on your project
My Studio
Currently I have 8 antique chainstitch machines, a vintage Merrow patch edging machine, a vintage commercial zig-zag machine and a modern computerized embroidery machine.. but I'm always shopping for more.
