Appliqué/ Tackle Twill


Applique example

Appliqué, also know as tackle twill, is the technique of layering fabric onto a garment and at Sharp Designs we are appliqué specialists! Fabric is used to fill in the large solid areas of a design or letter. Then the edges are secured down with embroidery in either a zigzag or satin stitch. Appliqué is ideal for schools, teams and small businesses who want to make a big, bold statement with their logo. It is a high end medium for large graphics or text. We offer the traditional tackle twill, metallic twill and felf.

It is very durable, long lasting and extremely popular. Appliqué is the perfect alternative to larger more costly embroidery projects. This technique is very popular for Greek letters for fraternities and sororities, as well as for schools that use an acronym for identity (such as BHS). We can customize the size, color and even fabric for you. See our lettering samples. Also, check out the appliqué gallery to see some samples of our work!

Sororities and fraternities make sure everyone feels like they are a part of something special! All you need to do is pick out your garment and 2 colors of tackle twill, then let us know what letters you need. It's quick and easy to create a cool look that ties in to your group. See the Greek Letters link for examples. Call or email us today to place your group order (minimum order of 20 pieces). Click on Twill Color Options to see the many color options available.

At this time, Sharp Designs does not provide an applique "cutting service" to other embroiderers. We cut our own applique and embroider it on our own garments only.
