CHAINSTITCH EMBROIDERY

In a world of mass production, things that are hand made really stand out. As apparel industry designers and product developers, we looked for a specific way to differentiate made to order styles and create unique one-of-a-kind items. The ability to give new life to garments (sometimes forgotten or cast off) has led us to developing seasonal thematic groupings of limited edition collectibles.

Our Chainstitch designs are crafted on decades old specialty machines that are hand cranked underneath the machine head and assisted with a small motor. The stitches are either a flat chain (pretty traditional on old western garments) or a moss/chenille stitch which is a little fluffy (like a Varsity letter). A chain stitch is a series of looped stitches that form a chain like pattern (similar to crochet). The artist uses a hand crank to essentially draw the stitches. Each chainstitched piece is truly a labor of love. Many take hours to complete. Meaning, each and every chainstitch design we complete (including patches) is unique; we'll never be able to replicate down to the exact stitch and stitch placement.
