Cord embroidery + flat embroidery combination | Red rose in gold cord embroidery on denim

This rose motif uses a combination of flat embroidery as the base and metallic cord embroidery: dense flat stitching first creates petal gradients and colour-separated leaves on dark denim, then a dedicated cord-embroidery head precisely lays gold metallic cord along the petal edges and leaf veins, secured with fine fixing stitches to deliver a raised, sculpted lustre.

Optional techniques

Cord materials can be metallic cord, cotton cord, core-spun cord, flat tape or wool yarn, with diameters from 0.8–5.0mm adapted to the design; the base can combine flat embroidery, appliqué or partial sequin embroidery; base fabrics can include denim, woolen, canvas, twill or leather.

Applications

Suitable for large back designs on denim jackets, floral chest motifs on jackets, sleeve decorations on sweatshirts, plackets on vintage womenswear and personalised development of canvas bags; proportional pattern-making and sampling from artwork or samples are supported.

Customisation process

Customer provides artwork (AI/PDF/high-resolution image) → confirm colours, size and cord diameter → 3 simple samples free of charge → bulk production after approval. Sampling takes 24–48 hours, or 3–4 working days for complex techniques; MOQ is 300 pcs, regular bulk production takes 5–10 working days (subject to production scheduling confirmation), and urgent orders can be prioritised.

Production capability

Flat embroidery base stitch density and cord embroidery turning paths are designed integrally at the pattern-making stage, with smooth corners and neat cord ends finished on the reverse; equipped with more than 30 computerised embroidery machines for specialty embroidery, and sampling and bulk production follow the same set of process standards.

Product FAQ · Quality & Craftsmanship
Q1:How does cord embroidery compare to flat embroidery outline?+
Flat embroidery uses thin sewing threads with near-zero relief. Cord embroidery stitches real 3D ropes or ribbons, offering tactile relief equal to the cord diameter (1–5mm).
Q2:How do I choose between round cord and flat ribbon?+
Round cord delivers robust tactile relief and distinct lines; flat ribbon provides broader coverage, subtle sheen, and elegant drape (ideal for women's wear and retro patches).
Q3:Will rope ends unravel or pull loose over time?+
Every rope tail is cleanly routed to the reverse side and locked with high-density stitches plus hot-melt sealing, preventing loosening during wear.
Q4:What is the MOQ and sampling lead time?+
MOQ is 300 pcs. Sampling takes 24–48 hours; bulk production takes 5–10 working days.
