Embroidery
With 10+ years of experience, Custom embroidery is our specialty! We offer high-quality work at competitive prices with a quick turnaround, with both traditional embroidery and patches available.
Embroidered designs add a high-quality finishing touch to all sorts of materials. You’ll work directly with our Graphic Designer to make sure that the details, color, placement and sizing of your design are correct. After you approve the final design, we convert the design file into a DST, a graphic file specifically for embroidery machines. The DST file is saved with us at Bayside, and our experienced embroiderers will run your project. With your DST on file, we can rerun your project whenever you’d like.
timeline
It’s best to plan at least a month ahead for any project you are looking to start to allow time for materials, mockups, and any unexpected delays that may arise. After all materials are in hand and the mockup is approved you should expect your project to be ready for pickup within 10 business days.
materials
We offer a wide range of t-shirts, sweaters, jackets, bags, and more for easy ordering or you can bring in your own materials to be embroidered.
Our pricing is set up in brackets. For each design the more you order, the price of each embroidery application will decrease. Our standard brackets are: 1-12 items, 13-35 items, 36-71 items. Larger orders are quoted upon request.
The best materials to embroider on are cotton, polyester, and fleece. We are unable to embroider on socks, shoes, or items that are inflexible. Please reach out if you are unsure about the materials in your order.

A full front design encompasses any design that spans across the front of the chest. Typically ranging between 6-10 inches wide, this is a great spot to feature a larger design.
A full back design encompasses any design that spans across the back. Typically ranging between 6-10 inches wide, this is a great spot to feature a larger design.
The left chest is one of the most common placements for smaller designs on the front chest. Typically ranging between 2-4 inches wide, this is a great spot to add a logo, name, or any smaller design.
The right chest is a very common placement for smaller designs on the front chest. Typically ranging between 2-4 inches wide, this is a great spot to add a logo, name, or any smaller design.
Sleeve placement can vary depending on your garment and artwork. Smaller designs can be placed up by the shoulder or down by the cuff the sleeve. For longer artwork you can make use of the length of a long sleeve.

The front of the hat is a prime location for adding artwork. Because of the smaller space we generally recommend keeping a design less than 2.25 inches in height. Applicable for a wide range of styles: baseball, trucker, bucket, beanie, or visors.
The back yoke lands between your shoulders, just below the neck. Typically ranging between 1-3 inches wide, this is a more subtle spot for smaller designs.
The side of the hat is generally best for smaller icons or text. We recommend avoiding long and thin artwork/text as it can cause puckering. Try stacking the text or creating a more square design with a maximum width around 1.75 inches.
There are many more possibilities for placement and items. From bags to blankets to aprons to scarves- if you have an idea reach out to see what is possible! Pay attention to any pockets and zippers that may interfere with production.
Patches
36 minimum
Patches are versatile and easy way to customize a wide range of items. A couple things to keep in mind are the backing type, size, and how it is stitched.
There are a couple backing styes to choose from. Leave the back plain so that it can easily be stitched onto another item. Use an iron-on backing for a heat activated adhesive to attach the patch. A velcro backing is ideal for patches to be removable.
The size of your patch depends on what you need it for. Typically patches are between 2 and 5 inches. While we wouldn’t recommend going too small, you can definitely use a larger design. If you are including text in the patch make sure it is at least .25 inches tall.
Patches can be stitched with 100% embroidery, or will a twill background. When patches are 100% embroidered the stitches will cover the entire area including any solid shapes and the background. A twill patch will have areas that are embroidered as well as areas that are fabric. This is a solid color that is usually the background of the design.
