Embroidery ideas for small businesses
Small businesses usually start with a logo on polos or tees at left chest size, caps, aprons for cafes and salons, jackets for crews, canvas totes and patches. A left chest logo is about 3.5 inches wide, a cap front about 4 inches; digitizing the logo once lets you reuse it on every item.

How do I add a name to a design?
Make the name with the text to embroidery tool in a style that suits the design, at the size the lettering size calculator suggests, and stitch it under or beside the design.
What size should the design be?
Each idea lists the usual size. The embroidery size chart has the details for every placement, and the hoop pages show the largest design each hoop sews.
