Applique embroidery is a technique where a piece of fabric is sewn onto a base garment with embroidery stitches, creating a bold, layered, and textured look. It is widely used for team uniforms, sportswear, jacket backs, patches, and fashion apparel — anywhere you need large, eye-catching designs that also use less thread than full fill-stitch embroidery.
Our expert digitizers create precise stop points, correct tackle-and-remove placement stitches, clean satin borders, and accurate underlay — so your applique design stitches cleanly every time on any fabric and any machine.

Applique embroidery involves cutting a piece of fabric into a shape and sewing it onto a base garment using embroidery stitches. A tackle stitch outlines the placement, the fabric is cut and placed, then a satin or zig-zag border stitch secures and finishes the edge. The result is a bold, textured, multi-fabric design that uses far less thread than full fill-stitch embroidery — ideal for large, colorful logos.
Applique digitizing is more complex than standard fill embroidery. The digitizer must program precise machine stop points so the operator can place fabric correctly, calculate satin border width for clean coverage, apply correct underlay to prevent tunneling, and manage pull compensation for different fabric types. Poor digitizing causes exposed edges, border gaps, or fabric that bunches under the machine needle.
Applique is ideal for: sports team jerseys and jackets, school & university crests, large logo embroidery on jacket backs, custom embroidered patches, fashion and streetwear garments, promotional and branded workwear, and any design where bold color, large size, and lower thread cost are priorities compared to full-fill digitizing.

Regular embroidery fills a design entirely with thread stitches. Applique uses a fabric piece sewn onto the garment with embroidery, creating a textured, layered look. Applique uses far less thread for large colorful designs and produces a bolder visual result. Applique digitizing requires programming machine stop points for fabric placement, which is more complex than standard fill digitizing.
Applique digitizing starts from $5 (USA) or £3 (UK) for your first order. Small applique designs up to 5" typically cost $12 flat rate. Larger designs up to 10" cost $20, and jacket back applique designs cost $45. Bulk packages offer significant savings for repeat orders.
Standard turnaround is 2–6 hours. Applique files may take slightly longer than simple fill embroidery due to the additional programming required, but most are delivered within 4–6 hours. Rush orders can be arranged — we work 24/7 including weekends.
