Good questions
Before you ask
Where do you work?
We’re based in Los Angeles and travel for events. Tell us where you are and we’ll work out the logistics.
How many guests can you stitch for?
It depends on the design and the hours. Give us your guest count and timing and we’ll plan the right setup.
Can you stitch our logo?
Often, yes. Send it over and we’ll tell you how it will translate to chainstitch.
Do you bring the bandanas and hats?
We can supply bandanas, trucker hats and other pieces, or stitch onto your own branded merch. Tick what you need in the form.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially around festival season.
What does it cost?
Every event is quoted on scope: hours, guest count, what we’re stitching on and travel. Fill in the form and we’ll come back with a quote.
