What is a Digitizing Fee?

A Digitizing Fee is the one-time cost to translate new artwork into the pattern used for sewing. All Digitized designs remain on file for future use with no fee applied. Larger quantity orders may qualify for discounted or waived Digitizing Fees.

Digitizing Fee does not apply to monogramming or personalizing.

What are the design limitations for embroidery?

The general rule is that you do not want any of the elements to be thinner than the diameter of the thread. But otherwise, most things are able to be interpreted through embroidery.

Embroidered text must be a minimum of 1/4 inch tall for legibility.

How many colors can I use in a patch?

Your design can include up to 7 colors without additional charges.

Can I get a mockup of the design before everything is embroidered?

Yes, we provide digital and print-to-scale mockups for all orders at no extra cost.

What is the largest patch you can make?

The largest we can make is 17" by 11".

I have a rough idea of what I want. Can you design my patch for me?

At this time we are offering only embroidery services and cannot assist with the design of patches or custom work. However, we are happy to share a short list of local Atlanta designers we can recommend to create your design.

Can you embroider my backpack?

Yes! We can embroider all of those and more, including shirts, aprons, bags, baby items, gifts, leashes, collars, sashes, robes, uniforms, towels, blankets, etc.

Can we meet to talk about my embroidery needs?

We are available via email and phone and will always respond to inquiries within two business days. While the small size of our team means we are not always available for in-person appointments, it also means we can offer excellent flexibility and prompt communication with our clients.

What type of backing do you use for patches?

We use a low melt iron-on backing unless requested otherwise. We can also add velcro.

For costuming purposes, we leave off adhesive backing to protect the garments (sew-on patches).

My artwork has been digitized on the internet. Can you use that?

For quality control, we require all digitizing be done in-house and will not accept pre-digitized files, unless otherwise approved in advance. Digitizing rates vary by artwork. The standard logo fee is $50.

Can I supply the items I want to get embroidered?

You are welcome to provide any apparel of your choice. We also have a list of prefered vendors we’d love to share who can offer high-quality products.

Tulipcake is not responsible for for any damages to items not purchased from our qualified vendors.

Do you offer anything other than standard embroidery?

Yes! We can fulfill requests for woven, printed, reflective, metallic, etc embellishments.

If we are unable to meet your needs, we will gladly refer you to another business/artist who can.
