Looking for something a little more dimensional than a printed image? How about about a classy detail for your latest fashion or your company logo on a professional polo shirt? Machine embroidery can give that extra oomph of sophistication to any project!
CMI Project Ideas

This is our quote guide. All prices include a 100% ringspun cotton pique knit polo (or equivalent). See an example here. Fancier, or name-brand garments, like Ogio, will increase the final price.
Please note that we do not embroider on items you provide that cost over $100. Instead, we suggest DIY – we can show you how to use our embroidery machine and will help you to make your project happen!
Unless you already have your logo in an embroidery file type, your image or logo has to be converted into a stitch file that requires specialized techniques and software. As part of the process, we make sure to create a physical sample using the digitized image so that you can see how it looks in stitch, before we begin the run!
Digitizing Fee (One time per logo or image) | $30 |
Fee covers up to 10 names – $2.50 for each additional name |
Pricing Guide
If you would like your embroidery file, it is available for an additional fee, based upon how long it took to digitize.

Our typical turnaround time is 7-12 business days. The clock starts when we have everything we need from you (including the actual items).
Rush fees
Items may be able to be completed before our standard turnaround through rush fees. The rush fees prioritize the items in the work queue. The fees are as follows:
- +25% due within 7 business days
- +50% due within 4 business days
- +100% due within 2 business days (EX – Ordered Wednesday, due by end of day Friday)
- + 200% Same day or next day
NOTE: we may not accept orders with this little time until due.
For orders over 100 shirts, orders due within 10 business days will be subject to rush fees.
If these prices aren’t quite fitting your budget, we encourage DIY. You can use our machines (we show you how)

If you are looking to have us make apparel for resale, we have special partner rates available, once the cumulative orders exceed $1,000.
