Embroidery Digitizing for Home Furnishings

Personalized bed sheets and pillow covers have held a strong place in traditional weddings as gifts with great sentimental value. Mothers and even grandmothers would toil away before the wedding day to create the perfect embroidered pieces for the newlyweds, and some would also include the bride-to-be in the embroidery process.

While such times may have long gone, the tradition and legacy of personalized home furnishings still lives strong. There’s just something about embroidered furnishings that can instantly transform any living space into a “home”. So, whether it’s a wedding, housewarming or momentous home upgrade, personalized home furnishings provide just the right amount of warmth for people to settle in.

Placing the initials onto fabric based furnishings is a superb and sophisticated way to claim your space. Furthermore, it’s not just homes that benefit from embroidered goods; the hospitality sector has long been an ardent supporter of embroidering and personalizing its sheets to pillows and even robes, helping guests think about them whenever they think “comfort”.

With the growing popularity of machine embroidery, the entire process of personalizing home furnishings has been simplified and accelerated. The process begins with embroidery digitizing the initials, monogram or logo of choice and ends with the machine sewing it out precisely onto your chosen fabric.

However, where exactly to place such artwork can be quite tricky for first timers. So, we’ve put together a quick guide into getting the placement right for your embroidery, helping it grab the right attention without looking too loud or awkward.

• Sheets – If you’re looking to personalize regular bed sheets, then the best place to put your initials or monogram would be around 2” above the wide hemline on top of the sheet. Remember to line up the bottom of the artwork with the hemline for best results. In case you’re looking to embroider bath sheets, it’s recommended to place the design 3” above the border or simply 4” above the hem.

• Pillow Covers – Initialed pillow cases look really neat and can really bring a sophisticated appeal to any space - if done right. This is why it’s highly recommended to keep the artwork centered between the edge of the open end and the hemline or border design.

• Towels – With embroidery digitizing making life that much easier, towels have become the new hot favorites in personalized home furnishings. For bath towels, put the artwork 4” above the hemline or 2” above the border. For hand towels, you should keep the initials 2” above the hem or 1” above the border. Furthermore, it will help to keep the design not only on the opposite side of the label, but also the opposite end, so that it sits diagonally from the label.
