What We've Been Working On: Rah Rah!

We've been busy bees this week.  first we tackled the throne cover project and then threw ourselves headlong into this cool triple applique project for a local high school's cheer leading squad.

We started with some die-cut shapes and letters made to resemble the lettering on the teams old uniforms.










We placed the bottom layer on the uniform and stitched it on along the outer edges.










We then added top embroidery to serve as a guideline for placing the next layer.

The middle layer is then lined up over the first...













and stitched along the edges.













An outline is then stitched on top as a guideline for letter placement and the letters are then carefully placed on top.







We then stitch around the edges of the letters












And with that we're ready to rock.  Go team!

What We've Been Up To: Dress Up Your Throne

Who doesn't need a throne?  Well, most of us probably get through life without one, I suppose.  But if you do happen to have one, shouldn't it be as regal as possible?  Otherwise, what's the point?  For the past few months, we've been working with the fine people at Samadhi Cushions in Vermont to embroider a very specific design for them onto silk shantung fabric which will be used as a throne cover.




First we spent weeks hand-digitizing the intricate designs they supplied us with.











Next we embroidered smaller elements of the overall design pieces of the overall design separately.



Then we had to place our mama- frame on our 4-head machine.  This frame, standing on end, is about 6 feet tall.  Needless to say, it is somewhat of a process getting it on and off our machine.






Some of the smaller pieces were then placed on the large fabric and appliqued on.
.

 We then enhanced the designs with top embroidery

The final Throne back

The Throne front   ( final except for center embroidered panels to be attached by customer).  

We'd love to  thank Jeanette and Michael at Samadhi Cushions for the opportunity to stretch our creative muscles on this project aver the past several weeks.  It's been a challenge and a delight to create this for you.

Brand Your Business: Show us your skin!

Is there anyone out there who doesn't have a smart phone?  (OK - I don't.  But I don't even have a cell phone. ) Let's face it.  most Americans have a least one cell phone, and more and more of them are smart phones.  In fact, if you've ever gone to dinner with, or had a smart phone owner over to your home, you know that most people have a little... shall we say... separation anxiety when it comes to their phones.  So what better way to ensure maximum amounts of repeated exposures than to use a phone skin as your next promotional product?  They come designed for a variety of phone brands and styles and in loads of fun colors, too!  Contact us today and we'll help you get your logo on the best and most interesting promotional products out there.
