I want to get a work shirt custom embroidered and put in a shadow box for someone's retirement. I also want a small engraved plaque on the frame.

Anyone know a place that does that sort of thing?

MY wife does it as a hobby. Not the plaque stuff, the embroidery. Of course she's now doing 4 (uncompensated) jobs as it is. It was cheap and easy getting into, just con me into blowing $10 grand for a 7 color stitcher and she's off to the races. Except she's running all day now buying cheap ham's for the free store to give away.

You can try Vista print, Corporate Casual, Etsy, or maybe try to find a local company. The local company I've used had a 10 piece minimum, and charged $75 per logo artwork setup fee.

Walk in to the local fabric shop .
Their bulletin boards may offer a local.

Either that or T-shirt printers often do it , can have it done or know someone.

I asked the pro.
She said to Google
"Custom Digitizing embroidery"

For an an arm patch
Expect to pay between $65.00 to $100.00 for the computer work.
And $45.00 - $80.00 for the patch making.

You may find someone local
Or you may have to send it off to a company up in the big city.
