The detail hotels, restaurants and brands demand

We work to the standard of leading hotels, with no minimum order quantity — and we keep your embroidery file, so your next order matches the first.

Hotels & restaurants

Towels, bathrobes, pillowcases, aprons and uniforms with your monogram or logo, finished to the standard your guests expect.

Uniforms & corporate embroidery

Polos, t-shirts, hoodies and jackets with your company logo, with the same embroidery file every time you restock or grow the team.

Patches & merchandise

8–10 cm embroidered patches — sew-on, iron-on or Velcro — plus caps and merch for local brands.

No minimum run: we take orders from a single item. The more items, the lower the price per item.

Why we recommend our garments

Available colours can vary with stock — we confirm them in the quote. We can also embroider your own items, but not every garment works: on fabric that is too thin or stretchy the embroidery can pucker, and a garment that shrinks in its first wash distorts the design. Our garments were chosen to embroider well. For your own items there is a minimum order.

How much does it cost?

Tell us the item, the quantity and where you'd like the embroidery — and send the image if you have one. We reply with the price on WhatsApp, usually within an hour.

Send us a photo, a drawing or an idea. Our design team prepares the file and we embroider it on a t-shirt, polo, hoodie or cap from our stock.

Embroidery Madeira does incredible work and is an extremely professional company. I had them embroider button down shirts with our logo for our tourism company (Emporda’ Tours) and the shirts came out beautiful. […]

Simply impeccable work 🤍 The level of detail in the embroidery is impressive, especially the portrait of Óscar, which came out incredibly true to life and full of expression. The quality of the finish, the precision of the lettering and the combination of colours make this piece one of a kind. You can see the care and talent in every stitch. I recommend you without any doubt.

It was a job with a lot of detail, and other companies had already turned it down for being too difficult. I was extremely happy with the result and have already received many compliments thanks to the quality of your work.

Embroidery or DTF print?

On uniforms that go through the wash several times a week, the difference shows within a few months. When each method makes sense — with numbers and sources.

Weeks until a garment is washed 50 times. Embroidery has no comparable limit: the thread usually outlasts the garment.

Two people, 5+ years of professional embroidery

We're a two-person team dedicated to professional machine embroidery for more than 5 years, and in Funchal for over a year.

We treat every order like a work of art: our design team makes sure the result is as true as possible to what you send us, whether it's a logo, a portrait or a loose idea. We work from a single item and keep t-shirts, polos, hoodies, jackets, caps and aprons in stock, ready to embroider.

Frequently asked questions

Can you make just one item?

Yes. We embroider from a single item — on a garment from our stock (t-shirts, polos, hoodies, jackets, caps and aprons). We can also embroider your own items; for your own items and for napkins there is a minimum order, which we confirm in the quote.

What do you have in stock?

Pre-shrunk cotton t-shirts, polo shirts, hoodies and zip jackets in every size, caps in a wide range of colours and black waist aprons — all ready to embroider. Available colours may vary; we confirm them in the quote. We don't stock button-down shirts, only polos.

How long does it take?

With garments from our stock, from 2–3 working days. Patches take about 5 working days. For larger quantities, we confirm the lead time in the quote.

How do I know what it will cost?

Message us on WhatsApp with the item, the quantity and where you would like the embroidery (and the image, if you have it): we reply with the price, usually within an hour. You can also see indicative prices for 1 item in the calculator.

Is the design charged separately?

Text and names are set in fonts from our catalogue and cost much less. Graphic design for logos and images is a one-off fee for orders of up to 19 items. If we've embroidered for you before, we keep your file and you don't pay for design again.

What thread do you use?

We embroider with polyester thread, made for frequent washing and colourfast. For special occasions we also use metallic thread (gold or silver) and, on request, glow-in-the-dark thread.

Can I see it before you embroider?

Yes. We send you a mock-up with the embroidery size and thread colours, and only go ahead once you confirm.

Do you issue invoices?

Yes, with your tax number. The prices we quote exclude VAT (22% in Madeira).

Do you ship outside Madeira?

Yes, we can arrange shipping (postage is charged separately). You can also pick up your order at our studio in Funchal.
