order –
1) Custom logo, requiring digitizing
2) Stock design with lettering (or just lettering) and
3) Monogramming.
Q: What types of items can be embroidered?
A: Most things can be embroidered. The rule of thumb
is that we must be able to get the item onto the embroidery
machine. In some cases, where an item is too thick or
cumbersome to fit into a traditional hoop, we use other
methods to get the item on the machine. Traditional items
that are embroidered are: clothing, bags, caps and hats.

buy the items I want embroidered from you?
A: No, we service many customers who supply their own
goods and we provide only the embroidery service.
Q: How is your embroidery priced?
A: Our embroidery service pricing is based on a flat
rate under the assumption that most left chest design have
about 8000 or less stitches. The higher the number of items
being done at one time, the lower the price per stitch-out.
Q: Do you have a setup fee for logos?
A: If the logo is text ONLY there is a minimum $75
set up fee per design. If the logo includes simple shapes in
addition to text the charge is $100 per design. If the
design is complex and detailed the charge is $150 per
design.
Q: Do you have a setup fee for just lettering?
A: If the complexity of the lettering is simple and
the design does not require us to email a sample, we do not
charge a setup fee. If the lettering requires editing or
approval, then we charge a $25 set-up fee.
Q: Do you have a setup fee for using a stock design
and lettering?
A: Yes, we charge $45 for setting up a design or logo
using a stock design and lettering.
T-Shirt Printing (T-Jet)
Q: What types of items can be printed?
A: Almost all flat cloth based items can be printed
using the T-jet Printer.
Q: How is your T-Jet Printing priced?
A: Pricing depends on the item color, imprint size
and imprint color.
Q: What type of artwork do you need for T-Jet
printing?
A: The General Rule of Thumb is: The cleaner the
artwork, the better for the final output. We do have artists
available to reproduce hand drawings, but our preference is
to have camera-ready artwork. Camera-ready refers to an
image that has a vector format in 300 dpi (dots per inch).
The most common vector files are from Corel Draw (cdr),
Adobe Illustrator (ai) and Photoshop (eps). Other image
files such as gif, jpg, jpeg, bmp or tiff can also be used
but will require our artist to make adjustments to ensure
the best screen printed image possible and result in
additional charges.
Q: What is the process for ordering T-Jet printed
shirts?
A:
1. Email or Fax the order and the artwork in vectored
format, (ai or eps) to Atlantic Stitches

which will take approximately 5-7 days.
