Step 1: Choosing the Perfect Pet Photo for Embroidery

The first and most important step in creating your custom pet hoodie is selecting the right photo. The better the photo, the more detailed and lifelike your embroidery will be.

📸 Best Practices for Choosing a Pet Photo

✔ Good lighting: Natural daylight works best—avoid dark, blurry, or overexposed photos.

✔ Front-facing or side profile: Make sure your pet’s face is clear and expressive.

✔ No distractions: Avoid photos where your pet is partially cropped or blocked by objects.

✔ High resolution: The higher the quality, the better the embroidery details.

Step 2: Creating a Digital Sketch of Your Pet’s Portrait

Once we receive your pet’s photo, our talented design team gets to work!

✏️ The Artistic Process

1️⃣ Hand-Drawn Digital Artwork:

• Our artists carefully sketch a digital outline of your pet, focusing on key features like fur texture, eyes, and facial expressions.

• Every design is unique—we don’t use generic templates!

2️⃣ Color Matching & Thread Selection:

• We analyze your pet’s fur colors and carefully select high-quality embroidery threads that best match their look.

• This ensures realistic shading and depth in the final embroidery.

3️⃣ Embroidery Digitization:

• Once the sketch is complete, we convert it into an embroidery-ready design, mapping out each thread direction and stitch type.

• This step is crucial for capturing lifelike details in the final embroidered piece.

🧵 The Embroidery Process

✔ High-Precision Stitching: We use state-of-the-art embroidery machines to stitch your pet’s portrait with incredible accuracy.

✔ Layered Threading for Depth: Different thread directions and layering techniques create a textured, dimensional effect.

✔ Durable, Vibrant Colors: Unlike printed designs that fade, our embroidery threads are fade-resistant and long-lasting.
