Mall kiosk / heat press
Logo sits on top of fabric. Can peel, crack, and look shiny. Fine for a one-night event — not for workwear you wash every week.
What You Are Paying For
Not a menu board. A standard of work.
Most shops heat-press a logo or guess on a hem. Kim runs a six-needle Baby Lock Array commercial embroidery machine, professional Madeira thread, and decades of hand-fit work on the same floor. You are paying for equipment class, skill, and turnaround — not a flat menu price that ignores what your garment actually needs.
The machine behind the thread
This is not a mall kiosk setup.
The Baby Lock Array BMY6 is a six-needle commercial embroidery machine — the same class small uniform shops use, not a hobby single-needle or a heat press.
- Six needles — multiple thread colors without stopping to rethread
- Up to 1,000 stitches per minute — production speed on custom runs
- Large embroidery field — jacket backs, left chest, caps, larger logos
- Crosshair laser positioning — accurate placement on technical fabric
- Professional Madeira Polyneon thread — color-fast, built for wash and wear
Thread vs. heat press
Single-needle hobby machine
One color at a time. Slow on multi-color logos. Common in side-gig setups.
