Embroidery ideas for your PR embroidery machine
Working with Dreamy Bedding
Traditionally the highest volume of orders for embroidery items comes from caps and polo shirts, but add on sales can really add up. Adding high-quality pillowcases with simple designs to your business may be a savvy move, and could also suit online sales.
Taking extra care when preparing and hooping expensive bedding items will improve the consistency of your results.
Like garments, bedding is laundered regularly and needs a stabiliser that will ensure the stitching will continue to wear well over the life of item.

Position Guide
Use a water erasble pen to mark the centre of the front of the pillowcase with a large crosshair. Position hoop sideways and rotate design 90 degrees.
Size Guide
Smaller designs in smaller hoops that are rotated can offer more variety for the position of the design.
Design Variation
If pillows will be mostly decorative, designs can be centred on the pillow.
Market insight
More high-end manchester stores now offer an embroidery service to drive add-on sales. Choose quality bedlinen to provide a comparable service.
Tip
For even tension use the smallest hoop your design allows for. Press the pillowcase to remove wrinkles and reduce shrinkage.
Shortcut
Use the plastic grid template when you are hooping to ensure your pillowcase is straight in the hoop.
Troubleshooting
Did your design look good when the pillowcase was flat but now it’s too close to the seam? When choosing the position, remember to allow for the pillow.
