Can I request a specific color for the embroidery thread for my custom order?

To discuss the possibility of a rush order, please reach out to our dedicated customer support team. They will work closely with you to understand your specific requirements and provide guidance on the available rush options. We strive to assist you in meeting your deadlines and ensuring a timely delivery of your customized items.
Please note that rush orders may be subject to additional fees or expedited shipping charges to expedite the processing and delivery of your order. Our customer support team will provide you with all the necessary details and options to choose from, allowing you to make an informed decision based on your needs.
Can I see a proof or sample of the embroidery design before it is finalized?
Yes, we offer the option to review a digital proof of the design before proceeding with the customization process. This allows you to visualize how the design will appear on the finished product and make any necessary adjustments or approvals.
Additionally, if you prefer to see how the design looks on actual fabric before placing your order, we offer stitch-out services. A stitch-out provides a physical sample of the design stitched onto fabric, allowing you to assess the colors, details, and overall appearance in person. This service gives you the opportunity to make any final adjustments or confirm the design's suitability for your requirements.
To request a digital proof or arrange for a stitch-out service, please contact our customer support team. They will guide you through the process and provide you with all the necessary information to review and approve the design before proceeding with your order.
