AI can draw it—but can it be stitched? 🧵

I’m seeing more and more AI-generated embroidery designs being sent to me week on week—and AI is a brilliant tool for creating ideas and showing how a design might look on a garment.

AI is a brilliant tool for creating ideas and showing how a design might look on a garment. By all means, use it for inspiration—but please remember that an AI-generated image isn’t an embroidery file, nor is it proof that the design can be recreated exactly in thread.

AI doesn’t consider the size of the finished embroidery, the thickness of thread, tiny lettering, stitch density, fabric movement or awkward areas such as the side panel of a cap.

That doesn’t necessarily mean your idea can’t be used. It may simply need some details removing, lettering enlarging or the overall design simplifying to produce a clean, professional result.

So bring me your AI-generated ideas and let’s discuss what’s realistically achievable. Together, we can adapt the design into something that will work beautifully in real life—as well as looking good on a screen. 😊

School Uniform Collections

Thank you to everyone who has collected their uniform. I am now closed for the bank-holiday weekend and will reopen for collections on Wednesday at 10am.

I’ve worked extended hours over the past two weeks to complete every order in time for the new school term, so I’m now taking a few well-earned days with my family.

Any remaining completed orders will be ready to collect from Wednesday. Thank you for understanding.

It’s not all been school uniform here over the last week — I’ve managed to sneak in some workwear too! 😅

Another TuffStuff workwear bundle, this time embroidered for Hawkins Joinery & Building — including hoodies, polo shirts and performance T-shirts.

Smart, practical and ready to be put to work 🔨🪚

Thank you for choosing LCD Embroidery & Print 😊

So tonight, I think I may have secured the future of LCD Embroidery & Print 💙

Jax has been learning how to hoop garments and load the embroidery machine—and just look at that concentration! He wasn’t merely playing; he genuinely wanted to learn and be part of what his Nana has built.

I love this kid more than words can say 💙

The next generation of LCD may already be in training… although I suspect his wage demands will include plenty of sweets 🤣
