Who is South Coast Embroidery? Get to know us!

Maybe you've stumbled across our blog because you're interested in custom clothing or maybe you've found us because you're a business in need of workwear - no matter the reason, you're probably wondering who South Coast Embroidery is. Let us introduce ourselves...

 

South Coast Embroidery 

Is led by husband and wife team Kyle and Alexandra Stoneham. We're based on the beautiful Island of Portland, in Dorset, having moved from Essex over 4 years' ago. South Coast Embroidery was set up in 2022 by Kyle to supply sailing clubs and events with printed merchandise, but since those early days we've grown into a small business that provides local Dorset companies with bespoke workwear, uniform and gifts. 


While the company is only a few years old, we've got many years of industry experience behind us! In fact, Kyle set up his first print & embroidery business from his Dad's garage way back in 2007! There's not much he doesn't know about an embroidery machine and how to get the best out of your logo or design.


Kyle may be the technical brain behind the operation, but Alexandra is the communications pro! Leaving an 18 year career in global pharmaceutical communications to join Kyle in the business, she knows what it takes to provide responsive, informed and personal customer service. Together, Kyle and Alexandra are always on the look out for new, innovative and creative solutions to clothing branding - and they love to hear your imaginative ideas! 


Now this post wouldn't be complete without mentioning our special 'Head of Barketing', who keeps the team grounded with her constant need for strokes and sideways glances, letting everyone know when it's time for her daily walk! 


South Coast Embroidery has lots of exciting business developments to tell you about over the next few months - so watch this space!

Get the Most from Your Personalised Printed Clothing

  Do you know the best way to guarantee high-quality printed images or logos on your clothing?   Use a file type called a Vector file. Also known as an EPS file or high-resolution PDF, vector files are designed to be high resolution and result in sharp, clear and non-blurry images or logos on your garment. But what if you don't have access to a vector file?  This is more common than you think. Most company logos and designs are created as JPEG / PNG files (or raster files), so they can be used on websites and social media. These files are typically low resolution to ensure they load quickly online; but blow them up for printing on a garment and you’ll soon see the loss of definition and blurry lines! "A top tip to check if your logo is high resolution enough for printing on clothing is to zoom in on it. If the image stays crisp, you’re good to go, if the image goes blurry, it may need redrawing." Below is an illustration of the difference between a vector file (EPS/high-...

What Determines the Price of T-Shirt Printing? The three factors you need to consider

Image
  If you’re reading this you’ve probably started thinking about personalised t-shirts for your business, organisation or event and are setting a budget.   Three main factors contribute towards the price of printed t-shirts:  1.  Quality of the blank T-shirt  2. Number of print positions 3. Total number of shirts needed 1. Quality of the blank T-shirt:  Not all t-shirts are created equal and while we use the same print methods on all shirts the blank product we start with will vary. Budget t-shirts are lighter weight material with single stitched seams and a unisex cut. Budget shirts are good for giveaways but not well suited for work wear. A durable premium t-shirt with twin stitched seams and smoother fabric will prove better value. 2. Number of print positions:  It’s cheapest to have one printed logo on the left breast but depending on how the t-shirt will be used you may be missing valuable exposure for your brand. E.g., a Barista in a coffee...
