Read to get an idea about embroidery

I have always been fascinated to embroidered clothing. It is something that has never failed to impress me. So much so was my inclination towards embroidered clothing that I wanted to know all about embroidery and finally I started learning it. The more I learnt, the more I wanted to share my knowledge, thinking that there may be people like me who are interested in the art. This blog is my one such effort for the people who are curious about embroidery. Though, this one is just a glimpse into the world of embroidery, I am hopeful that the readers would like this easy, simple and basic blog. So, I would talk about various types of embroidery designs:





  • Clothing embroidery designs – This is the one that I came across just when I started exploring about embroidery. Yes! It is the first kind of design that I learnt about, reason being that it is the most popular embroidery design and is easily accessible everywhere, in local markets and most importantly on the internet. I found it quite easy as the digitized version of the design can be downloaded from the website and sewn on garments using computerized embroidery machines. These designs can be seen on men’s wear, children’s clothing, fashion wear, ladies garments, etc.
  • Household embroidery designs – As the name suggests, these designs are for household garments. These designs are the most useful ones as you can sew them on any piece of garment, use them and hence adorn your home. From colour, design to the fabric, everything depends on the kind of household item that needs to be embroidered.
  • Logo embroidery designs – Demand for the logo design is completely different from that of the above two kinds of designs. In this kind of design, the focus is completely on the texts, outlines, size and artwork. You might be well aware that it is usually seen on garments like T-shirts, Sweatshirts, jackets, etc.
  • Note – For those who want to make a living out of embroidery, this one can earn them big amounts if they start a business of making logos for brands/companies.
  • Embroidery on anything – These designs can be seen on almost anything, from baseball caps, shoes, gloves, tie, to any other kind of clothing or fabric. They are usually custom-made designs that can also be ordered from the internet.

Well up till now, I talked about a few kinds of designs, but now I’ll brief you about something that will be helpful in letting you stitch out your own design. So firstly, since you are beginning to embroider, you should do it on another piece of fabric and when you get a clear idea of the look, size and how it would come out on the actual fabric, then you should do it on the fabric of your choice. Secondly, choose the colour of the thread wisely, see that the combination of colours are perfectly matching. Lastly, select the hoop that is firm enough to hold the fabric tightly and don’t forget to make sure that there’s enough thread on the bobbin and all your tools are in order before you start giving life to your imagination.
This was all that I want to share as of now, I’ll be writing more about my experience in embroidery. Hope you got a better idea of embroidery than before. https://www.shirtworks.co.uk/embroidered-clothing.

Digital printing on T-shirts to let your imagination come alive

Wear what you like to wear. Wear what’s on your mind. Wear something that you can completely relate to. Become your own style guru and flaunt your style quotient. Try amalgamation of various colours and create something you couldn’t believe would have been possible. Be you and let your T-shirt do all the talking about your personality. Get digitalprinting on T-shirts you wear and be the difference you’ve always wanted to see in your dress sense.

But why digital printing? Well, because as digital printing is directly done on garments, it produces much higher resolution prints and brings out the best of every design. But, something to keep in mind here is the quality of the T-shirt, the better the quality of the fabric, the better the design will look, and as of now 100% cotton is a must thing as ink manufacturers are looking for ways to develop ink that works on polyester as well. Moreover, if digital printing is done on tighter weave, the outcome will come out the best. And unlike other printing methods, this one doesn’t require any set-up, hence is perfect for minimum number of T-shirts, yes! As minimum as one will also be ok. So, if you want to get one designed for yourself or want some for your smaller group of friends or employees, you can get digital printing on T-shirt of your choice.

Creating one’s own style statement can be Lil’ difficult, but now that you know what digital printing is and how to choose the cloth for such a printing, you can give it a try. If you are on Instagram or are a twitterati who religiously follows his/her favorite celebrity/fashion icon for the latest trends or for following their footsteps, you will be glad to use digital printing for incorporating the style of your diva in your dress sense. And if you are a T-shirt lover then this printing is like an icing on the cake, as you can get the artwork you like on your T-shirt.
So, decide what kind of design you want to see on your T shirt; funny, serious, with some message, animal print, 3D print or simply your artwork and get that customized from us. We will make sure that your dream shirt turns a reality with our digital printing. Depending on how much you want to spend and the brand of the shirt you choose, we will give you the best results. If it is your artwork that you are looking forward to adorn, you should come up with 300dpi for best results. Not to forget that if your artwork is with tones, gradients and shading, this kind of printing will work the best.

With so many reasons to opt for digital printing, you should definitely try for yourself. How? Visit us at – https://www.shirtworks.co.uk/digital-printing and you’ll get answers to all your queries.

If you keep up to date with popular trends via social media, you’ll notice that there is one particular style that seems to be trending. Digital printing on T-shirts can be seen on key social influencers as well as main stream bloggers and also celebrities, but why is everyone suddenly into such a trend? 
Well, digital printing allows your own unique creativity to be printed on your favorite garments through such a simple process. Using this method over classic embroidery techniques produces quality results with high-resolution prints, however, the quality of the outcome will be manipulated by your chosen fabric and not all results will be the same. When choosing the fabric to be printed on, it’s best to keep in mind that the higher the quality of the fabric, the better the quality of the printed design. Items that are 100% cotton have a tighter weave meaning the outcome will be really clear and precise.


Whether you wish to get a single design created for yourself, or you want several items printed with one design, this is the most efficient method to achieve what you want. In fact, if you are a member of a group, or club or even if the requirement is for employment purposes, digital printing is the best way to batch create your design requirements under the careful watch of a printing professional.
