What live embroidery is

We bring embroidery machines and trained operators to your event in Toronto, the GTA or wherever you are hosting it. Guests pick from a menu of names, initials, icons and short sayings, and we stitch their choice onto caps, apparel, bags or textiles on the spot. It works as a monogramming station, a hat bar or a patch bar finished with embroidery, depending on what you want guests to take home.

Why guests love it

  • A keepsake with their name on itStitched lettering is durable and textured, so the piece feels premium long after the event.
  • Something to watchA machine stitching live draws a crowd and gives guests a reason to stay at your activation.
  • Simple choicesA short menu of fonts, thread colours and icons keeps ordering quick and every piece on brand.

Ordering made easy

For busier events we can add Skip This Line, our queue management platform: ordering kiosks, QR ordering from guests’ phones and automatic pickup texts, so guests order, enjoy the event and come back when their item is ready.

How booking works

  1. 01

    Tell us about your event

    Share the date, the city or venue, the event hours, how many guests you expect and what you would like them to take home. Estimates are fine.

  2. 02

    We plan the station

    We confirm the products, the design menu, the equipment and the staffing, check space, power and access with your venue, and send you a detailed quote.

  3. 03

    We personalize it live

    Our team sets up, makes each piece on-site and hands it over at a clear pickup point, with pickup texts if your event uses them.

Questions

What can guests choose?

Guests choose from a menu we prepare with you: names, initials, short sayings, icons or approved designs, usually with a choice of thread colour and lettering style. A focused menu keeps ordering simple and lets us plan the workload.

How many guests can take part?

That depends on the product, the design, the number of machines and the event hours. Your quote states the planned number of personalized items for the setup we agree on.

Can guests bring their own items?

Only if it is agreed in advance. Unfamiliar fabrics, materials and shapes may not suit the equipment or the planned placement, so a pre-checked product range is much easier to plan around.

What do you need from the venue?

We review working space, power, load-in, guest circulation and a collection area with your venue before the event, so the station fits the space.

How do guests order and pick up?

For suitable events we can add ordering kiosks, QR ordering from guests’ phones and automatic texts that tell each guest when their item is ready, so nobody has to wait in line.

Do you work outside Toronto?

Yes. We are based in Toronto and work across the GTA, including Mississauga, Vaughan and Markham. We also travel to events across Canada and the United States, with past activations in cities such as Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal, Charlotte, Washington, D.C. and Los Angeles.

Does a quote request reserve our date?

No. We first check the date, the products and the venue requirements, then explain what is needed to confirm the booking.
