What We've Been working On

We're always thrilled to help people out with embroidering their shirts, but we're thrilled when someone truly takes advantage of all we have to offer.  We recently got the opportunity to "show our stuff" a bit for a recent order from our friends at PJ Noyes company.  Employees were giving different options to choose from for gifts, including embroidered shirts, screen printed canvas chairs, imprinted water bottles, and embroidered bags and coolers. We were honored to be chosen by PJ Noyes to fulfill this order.  The next time your organization need embroidered uniforms, screen printed tees, or any logo-ed promotional products, pleae contact us and we'll be happy to help.

What We've Been Working On: New blessings - and old ones too!

We adore our return customers.  There's nothing we appreciate more than someone requesting our services because they were happy with our work in the past and remembered us.  One of our favorite return customers has made a tradition of having us embroider a tiny blanket held by a stuffed bear for each of his grandchildren as they are born.  We started these bears when we were still located primarily in Manchester, New Hampshire, and have continued creating them after relocating our workshop to Littleton.  As with many of our "southern" customers, we've been able to keep in touch by making weekly visits to the Manchester area for pick ups and drop offs throughout the years so as no to lose touch with anyone.  So, thanks to all our return customers - especially those in the Manchester area who haven't let a small distance stand between us.  We very much appreciate the opportunity to continue to work for you.  

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: Top choices for Promotional Products

If you're in business, you simply can not underestimate the value of self-promotion.  But with so many options out there, which items are the most effective to spend your hard earned marketing dollars on? Good question!  Not all promotional items work for all businesses, and some specialty items which can work wonders for certain industries can be downright useless to other industries.  In our experience, here are the best items to invest in for  any  business: 

Without a doubt, the most popular promotional item is apparel.  T-shirts, jackets and hats are the best way to gain brand visibility. Be they screen printed or embroidered, according to a recent survey, made to order promotional apparels account for 1/3rd of all promotional merchandise. 

Next on the list would be stationery products like pens and notepads. This is the quickest, most inexpensive way to gain brand visibility. Promotional writing instruments are perfect for carrying out promotions: relatively inexpensive and extremely functional. 

Unusual as they may seem, bags for brand promotions come in at number three on our list. Promotional bags can provide amazing brand visibility! You can easily give them away at trade shows and conferences as well as major corporate events. You can also print customized shopping bags for your retail establishment, letting each customer who walks out of your business do some promoting for you! 
 
Of course, you can't forget about promotional calendars. Calendars are a perfect addition to your annual promotional efforts. You can distribute them among your employees as well as customers and gain year-round visibility for your message. 

Lastly, Promotional magnets are one of the most inexpensive ways to promote your growing business. These magnets are available in a variety of shapes and sizes and everyone seems to love to get them! 

While these ideas work for just about any business out there, they do not have to be "generic" - any promotional product can be customized with unique designs, photos and text to make it truly unique to your own business.  To increase your visibility - and your sales - contact us and find out how promotional products can help you!

What we've been working on: Turtle Ridge

We've been having a blast lately working on piles and piles of colorful coats for the Turtle Ridge Foundation. Turtle Ridge seeks to provide a voice to people and organizations that empower individuals to solve difficult environmental protection issues and to offer the opportunity for young people to participate in a variety of sports and recreational activities that would not be available to them otherwise.  We love their logo - and their little turtles, too.  

What we've been working on this week: See you at the Fair!

Late Summer is such a wonderful time of year!  Fresh corn is popping up at your local farm stands, evenings are starting to cool down nicely, and across the country, fairs are returning much to everyone's delight!  We have several fairs local to us in Littleton, New Hampshire, but no doubt one of our favorites is the Caledonia County Fair.  It's coming up right at the end of this month and once again, we were proud to donate a few embroidered sweatshirts to be raffled off for charity.  The designs hits all our favorite fair welemnts: rides, food, agriculture and fun!  We'd love to design some special embroidery for your event or organization!  Contact us today to see what we can do for you!

Brand your Business: Get this show on the road!

Of all the marketing avenues available to you, the most powerful source for spreading the word about your business is YOU!  Do you carry around your business cards with you everywhere you go, handing them out when occasion arises? Do you wear embroidered or screen printed apparel displaying your business logos? Have you started a Facebook page, blog, or Twitter account to keep in contact with the outside world? Do you have lettering or vehicle magnets on your car to promote your business to everyone you pass?  Getting the word out about who you are, what you do  and how to contact you is really easier than most people think.  Never stop promoting yourself.  Using inexpensive options to keep your name in front of the public reinforces your brand and keeps you top of mind with your customers - and potential customers.  For more ideas on how we can help you promote your brand, contact us today!

What we've been working on this week: Irish Pirates!

We had the fun of digitizing this logo recently and got to embroider a whole slew of shirts for an upcoming Golf Tournament.  Watch our for those golfing Irish  Pirates!  They're tricksters!

What we've been working on this week: Crusaders!

Though we started Embroidery by Everything Personal in Manchester, NH some 17 years ago (and still make weekly trips down South to our loyal customers) for the past 10 years, we've been located in Littleton, NH.  Our owners grew up in Vermont's beautiful Northeast Kingdom and wanted to settle somewhere close by.  Littleton proved to be the perfect place, providing a centralized location and a positive atmosphere to expand and see the business prosper.  We love being active in the community and are a big supporter of our local schools and teams.  This week, we got to embroider our local Littleton Crusader on a student's duffle bag.  We always love to stitch the Crusader, so jaunty on his horse.  It fills us with town pride.  Let us embroider some school spirit for you!  Contact us today to discuss embroidering your school mascot on the item of your choice!

What we've been working on this week: Focus on Local

The Littleton Food Co-op Store opened in May, 2009, serving the North Country of New Hampshire and Northeast Kingdom of Vermont by providing a broad range of high quality food products.  Their members also help maintain the Co-op's mission of supporting local growers and producers, encouraging healthy life choices, and promoting environmental sustainability locally. We've been big supporters of their efforts, and have been pleased and proud to provide them with cloth bags for re-sale as well as helping outfit their staff in embroidered shirts.  We just completed a fresh batch this week and we can't wait to see them on everyone when we're at the Co-op picking out the freshest, local groceries.  Do you need your staff outfitted? Come on in or contact us for more information.

What we've been working on this week: Give us a Smooch!

It's Summer and we're so excited that a new Smoothie shop is due to open right around the corner from us! What's more exciting, it's being opened by the owners of the fabulous Chang Thai cafe.  This new ice cream and Smoothie shop is "Smooch" and we can't think of a cuter name!  In addition to their adorable name, they also have a bright, fun, playful logo. When they approached us to outfit their crew with aprons and caps in time for their opening today, we were thrilled to help!  The caps embroidered beautifully, but because of the large background to their logo, we decided to appliqué the logo on the aprons.  To appliqué the  logo, we simply embroidered the text onto a piece of tackle twill and then stitched the tackle twill to the apron. This way you get a bright, clean finish - and dramatically cut down your stitch count.  We couldn't be happier with the way both the hats and aprons turned out - and we can't wait to be first in line to try one of what are sure to be Smooch's amazing smoothies!

What we've been working on this week: It's wedding season!

Our niche truly is the small business of 20-80 employees, but one of the nice things about embroidering our apparel or our customers, and not requiring minimums, is that we get to help so many  people create personal, memorable gifts.  This week we've been monogramming fools: laundry bags for graduates, towels for new home owners, napkins for a wedding reception, and these pretty place settings for another lucky bride and groom.  Contact us to see what we can do for you!

What we've been working on this week

As a custom embroidery shop, we're happy to handle large orders for uniforming hotel employees, construction crews... you name it, but one of the things which makes us unique is we're also happy to accept one and two piece orders, enabling us to create truly fun and personal gifts for our customers to give.  This week we were asked to create hats for a couple who were celebrating their recent wedding. It was so much fun to design these with our customer!  Why not swing by our showroom and see what we can do for you?

What we've been working on this week

We always enjoy our work.  Digitizing, embroidering, and designing feed our creative urges - but every once in a while we get to work on a project that's just so much fun!  This week, we've been working on some super cute burp cloths for a customer who's about to become a new Aunt.  We worked with her for well over an hour, choosing designs, colors, fonts and sayings - and now seeing these little guys all stitched is making us all giddy! Embroiderd burp cloths or cloth diapers are always a great, fun and memorable gift to give an expectant Mom.  Not only are they cute as can be, but they also can be so sweet and personal.  We're loaded with ideas over here, so why don't you come in and have us create a truly memorable gift for your next gift-giving occasion?  We can always use more "giddiness!"

What we've been working on this week

This week we got to assist the Easter Bunny with a very special task: creating a little girl's dream bedding set.  Apparently, this little girl has been looking everywhere for a set of sheets with golden retrievers on them, but to no avail.  So, not one to take "no" for a n answer, the "Easter Bunny" came our way and we were happy to help him out.  We embroidered this Pillow Sham with a large Retriever head, embroidered three small Goldens on the pillow case and along the top edge of the flat sheet, and  stitched another large Golden retriever head in the center of the comforter and added a few scattered, smaller retrievers around him.  The result went over quite well, or so the "Easter Bunny" reports to us.

What we've been working on this week

The Miss NH pageant program helps to empower young women in our state by awarding scholarship money to those competing for the title, demonstrating a level of excellence in scholastic achievement, performing arts, healthy living, leadership and community involvement. Recently, 63 different contestants shared in nearly $82,000.00 in scholarships granted at the local level. We were so pleased to be asked to digitize their brand new logo, in honor of their 65th anniversary, and embroider jackets for the women competing this past week.  The competition begins next week and we wish all the contestants much luck and success.
