Madeira Threads: Polyneon, Frosted Matt, Fire Fighter
Shops choose Madeira because it balances vibrant color with industrial durability. Polyneon polyester thread remains the go-to for athleticwear, workwear, and outdoor apparel due to its bleach resistance and high tensile strength. Frosted Matt offers a unique, glare-free matte finish that makes fine detail pop on fashion garments and tonal designs. Fire Fighter thread lines are engineered for demanding environments where heat and abrasion resistance matter. Our Ontario inventory spans core colors, extended palettes, and specialty hues so you can hit brand standards without compromise.
Color accuracy is everything in embroidery. Bring us your Pantone or brand guide and our team will cross-reference Madeira colorways to lock in reliable, repeatable matches. For mixed-media jobs that combine DTF or screen print with embroidery, we’ll help you coordinate thread sheen and ink finish to ensure cohesive, premium results across techniques.
E‑Zee Stabilizers: Tearaway, Cutaway, Performance, Caps
The right stabilizer determines edge crispness and long-term wear. We stock E‑Zee tearaway for stable wovens, cutaway for knits and stretch fabrics, no-show options for lightweight performance apparel, and cap backing optimized for structured fronts. If you’re tackling moisture-wicking poly or tricky blends, we’ll help you pair stabilizer weight and needle size to eliminate tunneling and puckering. For high-density stitch patterns and small lettering, we recommend layered backings and proper hoop tension to hold detail through dense column stitches.
Efficiency matters on the production floor. Ask us about pre-cut swatches for caps and left-chest placements, as well as roll stock for flexible jobs. We also carry fusible mesh for soft hand on tees and no-show solutions that stay invisible under light fabrics.
Hoops, Frames, and Specialty Fixtures
From classic tubular hoops to magnetic frames that speed setups, we stock mounting solutions for hats, flats, sleeves, bags, and odd shapes. Our cap hoops maintain brim clearance and stabilize crown curvature to reduce registration drift during high-speed stitching. For bulky items and tough placements, magnetic frames minimize fabric distortion and speed operator learning curves. Bring your garment samples to the Ontario showroom and test stability, throat depth, and clearance before you buy.
Consistent hooping reduces thread breaks and bird-nesting. We’ll show your operators how to balance tension, align grain, and stage backing to protect fabric while preserving stitch quality across long runs.
Bobbins, Needles, and Everyday Essentials
Never pause a run for a missing consumable. We stock prewound bobbins in popular sizes, magnetic bobbins for consistent tension, and needles across common point types and sizes for knits, wovens, caps, and performance wear. Round out your kit with thread nets, spool stands, oil and cleaning tools, snips, tweezers, adhesives, and layout supplies. Our Ontario team will help you build a standardized consumables list so operators always find what they need at the machine.
Training, Demos, and Production Support
Your best embroidery upgrade is skilled operators. At our Ontario showroom, schedule hands-on demos that cover hooping fundamentals, thread path setup, tension tuning, underlay types, density optimization, and stitch types for satin, fill, and running stitches. We’ll walk through digitizing considerations that affect sew time and quality, including pull compensation, cornering, and travel paths. The result is fewer thread breaks, cleaner edges, and predictable cycle times.
Mixed-Media: Embroidery with DTF and Screen Printing
Modern shops rarely stitch alone. If you pair embroidery with DTF transfers or screen printing, we’ll help you sequence processes, stage garments, and align finishing. For example, embroidering after DTF on heavier garments may require lighter densities or different needle points to avoid perforating transfers. On blended tees, we’ll tune stabilizer and backing to prevent show-through while maintaining soft hand. Our goal is to help you quote confidently and deliver premium, repeatable quality.
