One step beyond traditional embroidery
Tackle twill is cut pieces of fabric (usually letters) sewn onto apparel like sweatshirts, jackets, and athletic jerseys.

Tackle twill embroidery, also called appliqué, is commonly associated with collegiate sweatshirts, fraternities and sororities sweatshirts, and athletic team apparel. Since the twill fabric is stitched all around the edges, tackle twill is considered one of the most durable embroidery methods. This method employs high-test polyester twill, ensuring a robust and lasting finish. The result is a logo or design that is visually striking and incredibly resilient.
Because the stitching secures the twill at the edges, removing the embroidery would require more than just a little effort—think scissors and a lot of free time! This speaks volumes about its durability.
Often, tackle twill outlasts the garment it is sewn onto. Its longevity makes it a preferred choice for sports jerseys, uniforms, and workwear, where durability is key. With tackle twill, your logo can expect to withstand the test of time, maintaining its appearance even after repeated wear and washing.

How Does Custom-Cutting Impact Tackle Twill Turnaround Time?
When it comes to tackle twill, the process of custom-cutting significantly influences the overall production time. This method involves intricately cutting your personalized design and meticulously aligning the stitch path to ensure precision.
Duration Impact
- Custom Designs: Each unique design requires attention to detail, resulting in a longer timeframe to achieve the exact specifications.
- Alignment: Ensuring the stitches perfectly match the design contributes to a more time-intensive process.
Expected Turnaround
For pre-designed options like Greek letters or standard fonts, the typical completion time ranges from 7 to 10 business days. These simpler designs are pre-cut, allowing for a more streamlined approach compared to fully custom designs.
In essence, the need for precise cuts and careful stitching means that bringing your bespoke vision to life with tackle twill takes a bit longer, but the result is a high-quality finish that’s worth the wait.
