Convert any graphic, text, or logo into production-ready hoodie embroidery files (.DST, .PES, .EXP, .JEF). Hand-digitized with heavy fleece underlay to prevent stitches from sinking into thick cotton fleece or French terry fabrics.
Thick fleece hoodies require customized stitch density and hoop framing based on where the design is embroidered.
Full 10" to 12" chest designs with balanced tatami fills that lay completely flat on heavy fleece without creating stiff bulletproof panels.
Precise vertical margin pathing engineered to sit perfectly centered right above front kangaroo pocket seams.
Narrow frame alignment for upper arm branding, forearm text, and lower wrist cuff embroidery placements.
Curved arc pathing for hood edges and rear hood panels that remain crisp when the hood is worn up or folded back.
Heavy grid underlay creates a stable mesh foundation so fine text and detail stitches never drop into deep fleece pile.
Split logo digitizing and seam clearance pathing for zip-up hoodies to avoid needle breakage near metal zippers.
Standard thin garment digitizing causes stitches to sink invisibly into thick cotton fleece or French terry fabric loops.
A preliminary grid layer flattens fleece fibers before top satin or fill stitches execute.
Extra path expansion is applied to compensate for stretchy ribbed cotton and fleece knits.
Stitch density is tuned to keep large chest artwork soft and wearable instead of stiff.

Standard commercial hoops support up to 12" x 14" (300mm x 350mm) for full chest and back hoodie graphics.
Yes! Specify 'Zip-Up Hoodie' in your order notes. We will clear zipper seams or split the logo cleanly across the left and right chest.
We apply a heavy grid and tatami base underlay that lays down fleece fibers before top satin stitching begins, ensuring a crisp, smooth surface.
