One of the great benefits of machine embroidery is being able to choose your own thread colors for whatever design and fabric you are using. Many designs can be stitched in one color or only a couple of colors. One fun thing to do is to take lettering and match the colors of the fabric to the thread.

In this design, I matched the mint green background in the shirt to the shading of the lettering. The blue thread for the majority of the lettering matches the blue flowers in the shirt fabric. This logo design creates a professional touch to the shirt without drawing too much attention to it. The colors you decide to put in your embroidery designs can greatly effect the image you want your design to portray. Have fun choosing thread colors and keep in mind the mental image you want the colors to represent!
