There is no quantity discount related to these charges. The charge applies
to each item embroidered. For instance, if you order 48 shirts with a design of
14,500 stitches, there will be an extra charge of 48 X $1.00 or $48.00.
Grandfathered Designs
Existing designs approved and cataloged before October 1, 2004 will be grandfathered
with respect to excess stitches until January 1, 2006. In other words, if
you have an existing design that is larger than 10,000 stitches and has been assigned
a design number less than 10000, you will not have to pay a surcharge until 01/01/06.
We will be happy to work with you to develop a design that is less stitch-count
intensive.

Stitch Count Estimate
When you upload a graphic, we will respond with an overall assessment and an
initial stitch count estimate. When you place an order, if your graphic is
estimated to be more than 10,000 stitches, we will include an line charge based
on the estimate. After you have approved your design, the line charge will
be adjusted to reflect the actual stitch count of your design.
Reduce Stitch Count
To some extent, stitch count is a function of area. If your design includes
a lage flat area of fill stitches, you may choose to let the garment show through
to reduce stitches. Outlines use a disproportionate number of stitches so
be careful about including too many outlines. Our design specialists will
be happy to help you evaluate ways to reduce stitch count if you wish.
Examples
Sometimes a picture is worth quite a few words. To the right are examples
of designs along with their stitch counts and sizes. The designs are not to
scale but you will probably recognize that detail equal stitches. If you would
like to have an stitch count of your design,
send your logo and
we will respond by e-mail with a stitch count estimate and any suggestions that
may be appropriate.
