Custom Embroidery since 1977
Embroidery
Today's embroidery machines make embroidery look very simple using sophisticated Japanese embroidery machines. Embroidering logos must be "punched" or digitized to a CAD-type program allowing the embroidery machine design to read. Many believe a digitized logo can be created by scanning a .jpg without any artist intervention, and this can only be further from the truth. Embroidery machines come in different sizes, and the number of embroidery sewing heads determines how big the embroidery machine is. Northwest Custom Apparel uses 8-Head machines, which provide optimal production speeds while not overworking the machine operator. Embroidery machines have different colors of threads, and many hold 10-12 different thread colors, which gives the customer a wide selection of colors.
Embroidery Process
The embroidery process can seem easy, though it has a learning curve of 6-8 months to perfect the art of embroidery. Learning comes best from "the doing." Ruthie Nhoung, NW Custom's Production Manager, says, "Learning embroidery is like learning to play the violin. You learn the basics from a teacher, but appearing on America's Got Talent will take years."

Direct-to-Garment Printed Shirts
Digital printing on t-shirts is a new addition to the apparel graphics industry. Direct-to-garment printing is a technology where an industrial inkjet printer prints a four-color process logo directly onto the t-shirt.
T-shirts are one of a company's most loved items by their staff and customers. Flying your company name on t-shirts at job sites, in the office, and at sporting events evokes pride, similar to wearing your favorite team's jersey.
Safety Shirts
Recent statistics show 3 million construction companies in the U.S., making it difficult for your business to stand out. High-viz safety shirts and vests printed with your company's logo will help your company be seen in such a busy world.
Customize your reflective safety shirts with your company's logo on the back and add an American Flag to the sleeve.

"Thank you for making this experience so smooth, I had been in contact with other services and they definitely were not making it easy, I’m very impressed with how easy this process has been. Will definitely see more of us!”

I want to thank you for the exceptional service your company has provided Cascade Capital over the years and most recently a last-minute order that we needed in less than a week. I inquired about a hat order on Friday, Nika ordered the hats right away and the embroidery team had my order done by Wednesday so I would have it for an important meeting on Thursday morning.
