Question 1

What is your process?

Accepted Answer

Please see my Process, Procedures, and Policies section in my link in bio.

Question 2

Can you provide some recommendations on where to find my item to embroider?

Accepted Answer

Of course! Check out my curated collection of 'Blanks I'd Love to Stitch For You' following the FAQ link for some options perfect for hand embroidery. https://shopmy.us/shop/collections/3919646

Here are also some of my favorite brands and kids clothing stores for clothing to hand embroider:
- The Beaufort Bonnet Company
- Feltman Brothers
- Remember Nguyen
- Cecil and Lou
- Sophie and Lucas
- Little English
- Lullaby Set
- Southern Proper Blanks
- Pixie Lily
- Best Dressed Child

*Note that woven cotton will typically stitch out better than stretchy knit cotton do to the nature of hand embroidery. If you are also wanting a very particular type of stitch (i.e. french knot, shadow work, etc.) please check with me if your item would be conducive to that style prior to sending it to me.

Question 3

Do you keep any inventory that I can order from?

Accepted Answer

Short answer - no
Long answer - I will occasionally offer a pre-order in which I would be providing the item to be embroidered, but otherwise you will send me your own item to be embroidered! Please confirm what your item is prior to sending it to me - there are some items I will not stitch due to the material not being conducive to hand stitching (i.e. Paty gowns)

Question 4

What is your pricing?

Accepted Answer

Short answer - Every item is one-of-a-kind so I do not have set pricing. However, you can typically expect somewhere in the range of $45-$150.
Long answer - Due to the custom nature of my work, I cannot provide an estimated price until we discuss your embroidery needs and all customization details. Once provided details, I am able to provide you a price range for the estimated work. Final pricing is based on my time to stitch your item and will be provided along with a photo of the completed work for payment prior to shipping (will not be above the range provided unless further changes are discussed and agreed upon during the stitching process).

Question 5

What is your turnaround time?

Accepted Answer

My calendar is very carefully organized based on customer deadlines rather than order date. I encourage you to get on my books as soon as you know you want to order (no need to know what you want stitched until we're 5-6 weeks out from your scheduled date). I'm a working mom of 2 littles so I am only able to take on a few projects each month at this time! However, I will occasionally have some last minute openings with a quicker turnaround of a couple weeks if I get ahead of my schedule or have a cancellation, so it never hurts to reach out and ask about availability!

Question 6

Can you make something for me that I saw elsewhere?

Accepted Answer

Yes and no - The best thing about hand embroidery is that every piece is completely one-of-a-kind and unique to you!  I'm happy to take inspiration from something you've seen and liked but I will not make a copy of it (if that's what you're looking for please reach out to the original artist). I love to take inspiration pics (whether an event invitation/decor, your dogs, embroidery styles you've seen and liked) and make something totally new made in your style and mine :-).

Question 7

I have other questions

Accepted Answer

Send me a DM on Instagram! I typically respond same day.
