Think BIG

Avoid small details in embroidery

1. Avoid Small Details

The minimum thickness for shapes is 0.07” (2 mm).

Maximum thickness for shapes: 0.5” (12.5 mm)

2. Use BIG Letters

Lowercase letter height starts from 0.25” (6.4 mm), and uppercase letter height starts from 0.3” (7.6 mm).

Any text smaller than 0.18” (4.57 mm) size will be increased or the text will be omitted from the graphic altogether during digitalization phase.
