Upper Thread did an amazing job on my quarter zips. The embroidery is crisp, the colors match perfectly, and I love wearing them. Turnaround was quick and the whole process was easy

Upper Thread embroidered sweatshirts for our organization and they turned out beautiful. The detail on our logo came through perfectly. It's great to work with a local shop that cares about getting it right.

We needed custom hoodies for our annual trip and Upper Thread knocked it out of the park. The quality is great and they looked even better in person than the mockup. Will definitely be back next year.

I placed an order with Upper Thread and the quality is excellent. Even better, Tyler was great to work with through the process and very responsive to our questions and proactive himself to ensure the order came out to my expectations. Oftentimes with custom apparel, it's crucial to find a team who is keen on the process and UpperThread handled the project for me in a way where I did not have to worry at all through the process. Thank you Upper Thread!

ABOUT US

Why we started Upper Thread

When local businesses and organizations in Southeast Missouri need custom embroidered apparel, the options can be limited. National companies come with high minimums, slow turnaround, and zero personal service. We wanted to build something better for the Jackson, Cape Girardeau, and Fruitland area - a professional embroidery shop with commercial equipment, fair pricing, and real people behind every order.

So we built Upper Thread to fill that gap. Here's what working with us looks like:

Fair, transparent pricing. A flat $20 setup fee per design with volume discounts on bulk orders. No hidden charges.

Low minimums. Just 12 pieces to get started. Mix and match styles, sizes, and garments in a single order.

Fast turnaround. Most custom embroidery orders are produced and ready in two weeks or less.

Free design help. We don't charge extra for design consultations because great service should be standard.

Local and personal. When you work with Upper Thread, you're working with real people right here in Jackson, MO.

Whether you need custom embroidered uniforms, branded hats, corporate polos, team jackets, or promotional apparel, we make the process simple. Get in touch and let's get your project started.
