Mastering How to Embroider Big Things – Large and Awkward Items with YES Group’s Advanced Machines
How to embroider big things can set your business apart! Running a commercial embroidery business that offers embroidery on large or difficult items translates into less competition and higher profits.
In fact, once you master this particular capability, using the right equipment, you may find yourself with a set of new, captive markets to serve.
Why Embroider Big, Awkward Items?
Embroidering on large and awkward items can offer significant advantages:
- High Profit Margins:
Because these items are more challenging to embroider, they often command higher prices. Customers are willing to pay a premium for custom, high-quality embroidery on unique items. (Think horse rugs) - Unique Product Offerings:
By embroidering items that others find difficult, you can offer a product range that stands out in the market. (leather jackets, XXXL sized apparel) - Durability and Quality:
Embroidery on high-quality items like heavy jackets and blankets enhances their durability and appearance, making them more appealing to customers, both wholesale AND retail.
The Right Machines for the Job
To tackle the challenge to embroider big things and decorating large items, you need an embroidery machine that’s purpose built with that in mind.
Like the high-capacity SWF KX-T1501.
What makes this the right machine to embroidery awkward, oversized or difficult items?
The first requirement to address embroidery on big or heavy items is going to be the shear capacity.
This SWF model LOOKS much different than other machines from Tajima, Barudan, Ricoma and even other SWF units because of the open space under the embroidery area.
While the 2D embroidery field size is impressive by itself at 520mm x 360mm (approximately 20.5 inches x 14.2 inches), it’s the space UNDER that embroidery area that makes it ideal for the big stuff.
Because you have room to move the heavier items around, let them gather underneath the actual embroidery action, you can decorate items no other machine can.
But it’s not JUST that depth! The structure of the embroidery machine itself has to be able to support the item and DO the actual embroidery.
The SWF KX-T1501 can do just that.

Tips for Embroidering Big and Awkward Items
- Choose the Right Stabiliser:
The stabilizer is crucial for maintaining the integrity of your design. For large items, use a heavy-duty stabilizer that can support the weight and size of the material. - Hoop Placement:
Proper hooping is essential to avoid shifting and distortion. Make sure the item is securely hooped, and consider using multiple hoops for exceptionally large pieces. - Design Digitization:
Large designs require careful digitization to ensure every detail is captured. Work with an experienced digitizer to create a file that translates well to embroidery. - Thread Selection:
High-quality thread is a must for large items. Polyester threads are durable and resistant to fading, making them ideal for frequently used or washed items. - Test Runs:
Before starting the final project, run a test on a similar material to check for any adjustments needed in the design, tension, or thread choice.
