APPLIQUE

....BECAUSE WE LOVE TO MAKE BIG COLOURFUL DESIGNS , ...AND WE DON'T HAVE ALL DAY TO DO IT !

To keep it simple we standardise our applique designs by maintaining strictly consistent parameters over the following elements :
 
DESIGN STRUCTURE

All our applique designs have 3 steps per layer of applique : Mark-out , Tack-down , and Satin Finish, with coloUr change stops in between each step. Simple applique instructions are included in the download pack.

TACK-DOWN STITCH

We employ a double running tackdown stitch so there is no problem if you trim too close and snip a stitch.

SATIN FINISHING STITCH

Satin stitch width ranges from 3.2 to 5.6 mm depending on the design size . This means you need to trim tighter on the 4×4 design than on the 6×8, but there is always enough width to cover the trimmed edge .

SMART ORDERING

As with all our embroidery designs , we manually order all design objects within the design . This helps maintain balance in stitch direction and avoid excessive compensation issues.

 

CUSTOM DESIGNS
At BluCatRedDog we make a custom digitizing service available to our customers. Prices range from $10.00 with a 2 to 3 day turnaround possible.

We always stand behind the quality of our digitizing, and will make any adjustments necessary until you are satisfied.

But please bear in mind that we are a small design house and our capacity is limited. Complex designs can require a week or more.

We also accept suggestions for stock designs in our areas of specialization. Turnaround on stock designs is usually 1 to 2 weeks.

In either case , please contact us by email suey@blucatreddog.is or use the onsite contact form. Be sure to include an image of the design you require.
And let us know what size and format you need.
We'll respond within 24 hours with a quotation and approximate delivery date.
We look forward to working with you !
