Design & Customization

6 questions

Yes, absolutely! We specialize in turning family photos, pet portraits, and custom logos into beautiful embroidery. Here's what we need from your file:

  • Minimum size: 400 × 400 px (some products require 1000 × 1000 px)
  • Recommended: 800 × 800 px or higher
  • Accepted formats: GIF, JPG, JPEG, PNG, EPS, AI, CDR

Please upload clear, well-lit photos. For multi-photo orders, make sure the same person or pet appears consistently — differences in lighting or color tone between images can affect how our designers digitize the artwork.

Yes, 100%. Our designers digitize your image into a precise stitch file, and we always send you a digital proof for your approval within 24 hours of your order — before any machine starts stitching, guaranteed.

No worries on color! Our advanced multi-needle commercial embroidery machines can stitch multiple thread colors in a single design, allowing us to accurately replicate vibrant logos and detailed family portraits.

While we don't build brand logos from scratch, our design team is excellent at optimizing rough sketches, existing text, or ideas and turning them into stunning embroidery patterns. Send us what you have and we'll make it work.

Yes — as long as your proof hasn't been approved yet and production hasn't started. Once you approve your proof, the order is considered final, so we recommend reaching out immediately if you need to make any changes.

Nope! Every artwork and sketch is hand-drawn by our artists, never by machines. We take pride in adding a personal, human touch to every piece we create.

Production & Shipping

4 questions

We start working on your order right away. Here's the typical timeline:

  • Design proof sent via email within 24 hours of order placement
  • Production begins after your proof approval, taking 1–2 business days
  • Standard US shipping (USPS Ground Advantage) 3–5 business days transit
  • Express (USPS Priority Mail) 1–3 business days transit

Please allow extra time during holidays or peak seasons. See our Shipping Policy for full details.

Yes. We regularly handle group orders, team apparel, and larger custom runs.

For large orders, contact us directly so we can assist with design coordination and production planning: support@mhfulfill.com

No — you only pay the setup fee once per design. Once we digitize your photo or logo, that file is saved and applied to all shirts in your order at no extra charge. There's also no minimum order requirement.

You can mix any combination of sizes and colors in a single order. All items will be produced together and shipped in one package. Not sure which size to pick? Check our Size Guide.

Garment & Embroidery Specs

4 questions

For standard placements (center chest, left/right chest, biceps) we typically keep designs up to approximately 4″ × 4″ for comfort and quality. For large back embroidery, we can scale up to approximately 8″–10″ wide using our full machine hoops. Exact sizing is confirmed with you during the design proof stage.

We offer flexible placement options across the garment:

  • Center chest
  • Left chest & right chest
  • Left bicep & right bicep
  • Full back

We use premium mid-to-heavyweight blanks built to handle high stitch density without puckering. Our three options are:

Comfort Colors Gildan Bella + Canvas

All three hold embroidery beautifully — check our Size Guide to find the right fit for your order.

We partner with reputable blank apparel manufacturers, and every step — digitizing, embroidery, and packaging — is completed in-house at our studio in Holly Springs, North Carolina.

Care & Comfort

4 questions

To keep embroidery looking crisp for years:

  • Wash inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle
  • Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry
  • Do not iron directly on the embroidery — iron on the reverse side if needed

Not at all. We use high-quality, soft-spun threads, and for sensitive areas (like chest designs) we apply a soft premium backing fabric over the inside stitches, designed to feel smooth against your skin.

No. We use industrial-grade polyester threads engineered to resist fading, bleaching, and color bleeding — keeping your memories vibrant through many washes.

Our shirts run true to standard US sizing. We use premium pre-shrunk cotton blends, so you won't have to worry about dramatic shrinkage distorting the embroidery after washing. Check our Size Guide before ordering to ensure the perfect fit.

Policies & Logistics

2 questions

Because custom products are made specifically for you after proof approval, they cannot be returned or exchanged unless there is an error made on our end (e.g. wrong text stitched, damaged garment). For eligible non-customized items, returns are accepted within 14 calendar days. Please read our full Return & Refund Policy.

If your package is confirmed lost by the carrier or arrives damaged, we will gladly provide a 100% free replacement or full refund. Please report damaged items to support@mhfulfill.com within 48 hours of delivery with photo evidence.
