Embroidery draws with thread, and thread has a physical thickness: knowing three basic limits avoids 90% of the problems.
The 3 limits of thread
- Text: legible from about 4 mm letter height. Below that, it fills in.
- Fine lines: minimum around 1 mm thick; thinner rules disappear.
- Gradients: thread does not blend like ink; they are simulated with mixed stitching or replaced by flat colours.
Which format to send us
Whichever you have. Seriously: JPG, PNG, PDF or vector. A vector file (AI, EPS, SVG) speeds up the work, but we turn any reasonable image into a clean digitized file. This service — which others charge for — is included at JN Bordados.
What happens after you send it
Our team digitizes the logo stitch by stitch, chooses densities according to the destination garment and sends you a digital proof. Only when you say go do we embroider. And the digitized file is kept forever: your repeats come out identical.
