Rob, where in the order process do they confirm the thread color?

Of the logo or the clothing?????

I sent them my logo in JPEG format they then put it in their computer and create a stitch pattern... since my logo is in color I imagine they match the color in the JPEG as closely as possible....

Which is why I wanted an actual swatch as a proof instead of an email proof picture..... I can't discern anything from an emailed proof.
 
I'll post the progress and pics as I go along the process...

Thus far I've uploaded my logo and recieved instant confirmation that they recieved it.

Next I picked out what I wanted to put it on which in my case was two Polo shirts and two hats and the colors of each. Then submitted my order.

They have already approved my logo as meeting their criteria for free setup and free embroidery so all I pay for is the apparel. $38.50.

Now they will digitized it and generate the stitch pattern and send me a sample on a swatch for approval by me. Once done they will then produce the product and ship.
 
I will be interested to see how it looks, I tried a couple of local places, but unless you are looking to do a run of 10-20 shirts, they don't want to really talk. And since it's just my Partner and I, I don't really need a whole companies worth of shirts.

I forgot who I tried for their digital 'silk screening' but I got the sample shirt back it was horrible, no depth to the color, and everything was just off.
 
I couldnt wait for Queenscrap

I went elsewhere and bought what I needed locally

I also did a test print usin g some t-shirt printing software and a special kit
then had the local company create and better version here..

Dennis I'm not having them do a t-shirt transfer... they are doing embroidery.... big difference.
 
thats what I got done

the guys locally will make ANY transfers and convert them to embroidery
and I am happy on what they made (small for the polo shirts)

I did a test run on what I wanted and they have these new special sewing machines that when you see them you need to be an brain surgeon...

anyway didnt matter I have some embroidery and some screen printing done to what I need and its cheaper because I can supply the shirts when queenscrap didnt even carry my sizes...
 
Queensboro Company

I just got my shirts and hats..... I love the embroidered logo.... not so keen on the color of the shirt as it does look best on the hats. When I order again I'll change the color of the shirts.... not bad however just the logo kinda dissapears.

Pics, enjoy!

I know I'll get flamed for the following, but I think it's worth saying that not all customers are completely 100% satisfied with this company. I know I wasn't.

I now utilize a local shop, where I can get embroidered garments/hats/etc at my convenience. No need to order it online, wait for it to be shipped and pay the additional shipping & handling.
 
Btw, Rob --- I forgot to say that I think yours do look nice & agree with your thoughts about the blue.

Ya, I'm thinking I need to order shirts with a color that is more in contrast to the thread color of the logo... the hats are light colored and ok.... I was trying to avoid light colors for the shirts cause... I sweat a lot.

Same here Randy. We buy the shirts/apparel that we like and want, take it to the fine folks at Webster's here in Chatham. The only things that I haven't had them do was my last ball cap, so I got an overpriced one at CafePress. Oh yeah, I forgot to add we get our Baby Bibs at CafePress also.

Dress shirts, polo shirts, etc. are all done by our local shop.
