Six ways to stitch them
Every style is drawn from your own photo, keeping their markings, ears and eyes, and every one is built to sew: bold lines, no hairline whiskers, and a closed shape with nothing cut off at the edge. These are the stitch previews of one corgi from one photo, exactly as the studio shows them before you approve.
-
Portrait Head and chest in flat colour, finished in a rounded base like a sculpted bust. -
Flowers Their face in a crescent of folk-style flowers and leaves. -
Badge A badge: an open ring with their head rising out of the top. -
Peeking Head and paws over the edge of a pocket. Made for the left chest. -
Cartoon The whole pet as a cartoon, sitting, with their own markings. -
Line art Bold single-colour line art. The lightest stitch, and the one that suits a light shirt.
Fifteen threads, six to a design
An embroidery machine does not mix colour. It carries stocked thread and swaps spools between them, so a design is built from a handful of exact shades rather than a gradient. These are the fifteen we can stitch. Your pet is matched to the closest ones, and you decide which stay.

How it works
Upload a photo of your pet. We draw them six ways as flat artwork built for thread, match every colour to a stocked thread, and thicken anything too fine to survive a needle. That takes about twenty seconds. After that, swapping a thread, changing the garment or moving the placement is instant.
What you approve is what gets stitched. We send the embroiderer artwork already built from the exact threads you chose, so there is no interpretation step between your screen and the machine.

Frequently asked
What photo works best? +
A close photo of their face in daylight, with both eyes showing and your pet filling most of the frame. Other people and pets in the picture are left out of the design.
Why six styles? +
We draw your pet six ways at once from the same photo: a portrait, flowers, a badge, peeking over a pocket, a cartoon and line art. Pick the one you like, and redraw any style as many times as you want before you approve.
How close to my pet will it look? +
Embroidery cannot sew individual hairs, so fur becomes a few areas of solid thread. What is kept is what makes them them: the markings and where they sit, the ears, the eyes and the colours. You see the exact stitching, on the garment and close up, before you approve it.
My pet is mostly white. Will that show up? +
Yes. White fur is sewn in white thread, so a white chest, blaze or muzzle still shows on a dark garment. A very dark pet reads best on a lighter garment, and the studio shows you the pairing before you choose.
Why only six colours? +
Embroidery machines run a fixed set of thread stocks and change threads between colours. Six is the ceiling per design, chosen from fifteen stocked shades. We match your pet to the closest ones and you can swap any of them.
What happens to the photo? +
It is sent once, to draw the artwork, and it is not kept. We store only the finished thread artwork you approve, never the photograph, and it is never used to train anything.
When is it actually stitched? +
Only after you approve the stitching on screen and payment is confirmed. Nothing is sent to the embroidery machine before both.
When will it arrive? +
The clock starts when you approve the stitching and payment confirms, not when you upload. The stitch path is digitised first, which takes up to 36 hours, then the garment is stitched in 2 to 5 business days and US standard shipping is 2 to 5 business days on top. Shipping in the US is included in the price.
