Every single one of our designs have been manually digitized. We take pride in using excellent software to accurately digitize all designs. Striving to use the minimum amount of jump stitches required to create beautiful designs, and to ensure a pleasant stitch out.
The standard thread we use is mainly Sulky, Gunold, and Madeira threads.

YES! Absolutely.
Definitely, every single design has been thoroughly tested for quality by both the *in house and outside devoted testers* prior to publishing. They have been stitched again and again until they are adequately ready for release.
Sometimes, rarely, as with everything, a detail may be missed. Any issues that arise are most likely due to an element that can be assisted with. If you are having file or stitching issues, please contact us for support and we will be happy to assist you.
It is always highly recommended to do a test stitch-out prior to using any designs on the intended garment, fabric/material or finished good as results may vary depending on textile, stabilizing, hooping practices etc.
Test stitching is a common practice that should be implemented BEFORE adding embroidery stitching onto a purchased item.
When encountering issues with designs, often, the best things to try first are to ensure adequate and accurate stabilizing, check suitability of materials, and/or machine tension(s).
ThreadMode Embroidery IS NOT LIABLE for items that may be harmed/damaged during a stitch-out. We do NOT provide reimbursement or compensation for damaged blanks, including garments, toys, bags, towels, etc.
The simple answer is No.
However , if you have an embroidery editing software and digitizing knowledge you can always try, BUT it is not advised to resize any design more than 10-20% (either larger or smaller).
Digitizing is done at a specific size, for each design, to
maintain the integrity of the stitching. The density of the designs changes with altering them, seam allowance areas can be off and matching pieces may not line up.
Resizing anything is SOLEY AT YOUR OWN RISK. The design quality is only guaranteed in the sizes we provide and have tested.
ThreadMode is UNABLE to do any custom resizing.
All prices listed are CAD (Canadian Dollars).

This is a FIRM policy, so PLEASE carefully review your order and/or ask questions PRIOR to purchasing.
