    Turnaround

    Product-specific turnaround: Not confirmed in the supplied information.

    Artwork Support

    Artwork and production requirements may vary depending on the complexity of the applique design.

    ARTWORK REQUIREMENTS

    Required

    Prepare Your Applique Artwork

    Provide clear artwork that shows the intended shapes, lettering, colors, and overall design.

    Key Requirements

    Requirement Details
    Artwork Clean, high-quality design
    Design Final size preferred
    Shapes Clearly defined
    Lettering Clearly readable
    Colors Specify desired colors
    Materials Specify material preferences
    Placement Identify garment placement
    Complexity Subject to design review

    Because Sewn Applique involves physical fabric cutting and machine stitching, final construction may depend on the design and garment.

    APPLICATION SETTINGS

    Required

    Professional Machine Application

    Unlike heat-applied transfers, Sewn Applique is attached directly to the garment using an embroidery machine.

    CARE INSTRUCTIONS

    Required
    • Follow the garment’s care label.
    • Wash according to the material used.
    • Avoid unnecessarily harsh washing conditions.
    • Inspect the applique periodically for loose edges or stitching.
