When you are going through the finishing process there are many details and problems that you need to look out for.

Thread Tails

Missing Stitches

Stray Threads

Loops in the Embroidery Design

Is Embroidery Straight?

Garment Stains

Damages

Buttons Missing

Zippers Not Working

Bobbin Pull Up


Thread Tails: Trim off as closely to the garment as possible but be careful not to cut off any lock knots.

Missing Stitches: If you find some stitches that have been skipped and are missing, they will need to be repaired. The easiest way to do this is to thread a hand sewing needle with a double strand of matching embroidery thread and do a satin stitch by hand to fill in the missing stitches.

Stray Threads: Thread that sometimes get caught during the embroidery process trail across the embroidery. Trim as closely to stitching as possible being careful not to cut off any lock knots. Gently remove with tweezers.

Thread Loops: If you see thread loops that appear in the same direction as the stitching -DO NOT TRIM LOOP! Use your fingernail to scratch loop to backside of garment. Use ONE DROP of Fraycheck on back of stitching where loop has been scratched back. Do Not Allow Fraycheck to get on garment!

If thread loops in a different direction than the stitching, it is usually safe to trim. Trim as closely as possible to stitching.

Damaged Garments: If any garment has been damaged during the embroidery or hooping process it must be removed. Do not try to pass a garment with any damage on it. The customer will be very angry. Bring it to the attention of the customer and let them decide what he or she wants to do. I will either credit the customer for the garment or replace it, but I leave that decision up to the customer.

Bobbin Pull Up: There will sometimes be bobbin thread noticeable throughout darker stitching in some logos. These stitches will need to be colored with a fine tipped permanent marker the exact shade of color as your thread. Do not touch any surrounding areas with this marker.

Make sure all garments are buttoned and zipped before folding and packaging. Paying attention to the details in the finishing process will make a huge difference in your presentation and will show your customers that you are very interested in their business. This will definitely raise your level of customer service!
