Live Embroidery FAQ
Do You Travel for Embroidery Events?
Yes! We both drive and fly with our equipment:
- Driving: within ~6 hours of Chattanooga, TN
- Flight events require a $3k minimum booking
We charge for applicable travel expenses such as hotel, per diem, travel time, flight and mileage reimbursement, and car rental
How Much Does On-Site Embroidery Cost?
- Starting at $1,500 for one stitcher
+ travel expenses, if applicable - Additional hours: $500/hr, day rates available
How Many Items Can be Personalized Per Hour?
Each monogram is stitched freehand in cursive, so each time we “pick up the pen” to end a word or single letter, we have to tie a knot. We recommend staying away from phrases, numbers, and capital letters.
- 20 seconds to multiple minutes per item (much faster than a digital machine!)
- Anywhere from 20 - 45+ items per hour (varies by material, personalization limits, and flow)
- Tip: for a faster service, keep it simple: single name, word or initial with one thread color, or add additional stitchers.
What is Needed for Your On-Site Setup?
- Solid, flat ground (at least 5x5 ft) + room for a line to form
- Access to power within 20ft of the stitching area
- If outdoors: coverage from sun, rain, and wind, plus adequate lighting after sunset
Do You Stitch on My Items, or Provide Them?
Both! Items are billed separately from the live embroidery service, so you know pricing no matter what gift you choose. We have stitched on denim jackets, hats, tees, robes, towels, blankets, and more.
We also offer branded blanks like luggage tags, bandanas, cosmetic bags, patches, and tote bags.

So, What Is Chainstitch?
Chainstitch embroidery machines, or "Bonnaz" style machines are a piece of history, originating in Cornely, France in the 1850s. They're completely hand-controlled analog machines (no computers, no electronic parts, no clip art) which means every line and letter is drawn freehand using a handle under the table. Because the machine isn't computerized, Kait can pack it up and bring it anywhere, delivering on-the-spot monograms in just minutes.
