Job ticket no. 0001 / Walk in, walk out stitched
One hour.
Up to six items.
Embroidered in Vancouver while you wait.
Embroidery Express is our appointment for names, short text and simple logos. Book a Tuesday to Thursday slot, bring your hats and hoodies, leave with them finished.
01 / Pricing
You know the total before you book.
Flat rates, no setup surprises. The only extra is a one-time digitizing fee when we convert a logo into stitches, and text never needs it.
Art charges are extra if your job requires additional cleanup or redesign beyond Express limits.

02 / Is your job an Express job?
Express is for small, ready-to-stitch work. Here is the honest line.
Yes.
Names, initials or short text
Small logos or wordmarks under 4 inches wide, up to 4 colours
1 to 6 items: hats, hoodies, shirts, toques, bags, blankets
Gifts, team keepsakes, first pieces for a small business
Not yet.
More than 6 pieces
Low-quality or complex artwork: fine detail, gradients, tiny text
Puff embroidery (Express is flat embroidery only)
High-end rain jackets or technical outerwear
Those are still very much our thing, just through a regular quote, where bigger runs also get better pricing.
* We do not accept dirty or previously worn garments, including used hats.
03 / Artwork check
Three proofs from the table.
Hold your artwork next to these. If it looks like the first two, book. If it looks like the third, we will quote it properly.
Text embroidery
Names, titles, simple words. No digitizing needed.
Simple logo or wordmark
Clean shapes, no tiny text, under 4 inches wide, up to 4 colours. Adds the $20 digitizing fee.
Complex artwork
Fine detail, tiny text, gradients, too many colours or too large. Still doable, through a regular quote.
04 / How it runs
Form, confirmation, stitches.
You fill out the form
Pick text or logo, choose a font and thread colours, reserve a Tuesday to Thursday slot.
We review and confirm
A person checks the artwork fits Express limits and confirms by email within a business day.
You arrive, we stitch
Bring your items. Most people leave inside the hour with finished embroidery.
Your appointment is one hour. Spend it stitching, not hunting for a file.
Text-only jobs are usually done in 20 to 40 minutes. A logo takes the full hour because we digitize and test-stitch it on a scrap first, then run your pieces.
