How do I prepare my art for the Supastitch Effect?

You can prep it yourself in ChatGPT or your favorite Design AI: upload your art and ask it to recreate the design as realistic machine embroidery (satin-stitch fill, 600dpi PNG on a transparent background), then upload that file to your order. The effect works best with bold logos, chunky colour areas and big text — tiny detail and intricate artwork won't read as well.

How is Supastitch different from real embroidery?

You get the premium embroidered look without the embroidery price or wait time. Supastitch is a way of styling your artwork before you order — once you upload it, it prints and presses at our normal heat-transfer speed with no special equipment. The trade-off: we can't perfectly match embroidery thread colours, but the stitch texture itself looks authentic.

Does the Supastitch Effect cost extra?

No — the Supastitch Effect doesn't add anything to your transfer price. It's a way of preparing your artwork to look stitched before you upload it, then it prints and presses just like any other Supacolour transfer (Wearable, Blocker, Soft-Shell, Lo Melt, DTF — all the same).
