How Profitable Is Embroidery?
It is customary to mark up any garment you sell; often 50 to 100% or more of its cost. Embroidering that garment is usually priced per thousand stitches. $1.00 per thousand stitches or higher is not uncommon. A single MESA machine can embroider a number of garments in a short period of time. Designs vary in size but a typical shirt logo averages about 5000 stitches. Our MESA machines are capable of running at speeds of up to 1500 stitches per minute and are normally operated at 900 to 1000 s.p.m.
