Embroidery is a decorative art of sewing thread of one material into another piece of material
to form a design or image. Although painting a fabric will also form a design or image, the paint material
eventually flakes off, and usually before the useful life of the imprinted item has expired.
Painted images often have rough edges because of bleeding or the size of the knit.
Embroidered images on clothing, like logos or company names, can maintain their brilliant colors if washing instructions are following, and they
usually outlive the piece of clothing or at least have a similar rate of color loss and degradation.
Disney's roadshow Disney on Ice wanted their logo on clothing for their
staff and audience. They required clean logos on high quality clothing to properly reflect and maintain
Disney's brand and image, and they chose embroidered logos on American made fleece jackets, pullovers, and hooded
sweatshirts by 20 Degrees Below.
