What Is Sewn Applique?
Sewn Applique is a decorating technique where fabric is cut into specific shapes, letters, numbers, or designs and sewn onto a garment using an embroidery machine.
Different material options can be combined to create fully customized designs with a traditional athletic appearance.

Custom Production for Every Design
Sewn Applique is custom constructed based on your artwork, materials, size, and garment requirements.
Product-specific turnaround: Not confirmed in the supplied information.
Artwork and production requirements may vary depending on the complexity of the applique design.
Prepare Your Applique Artwork
Provide clear artwork that shows the intended shapes, lettering, colors, and overall design.
| 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.
Professional Machine Application
Unlike heat-applied transfers, Sewn Applique is attached directly to the garment using an embroidery machine.
