Frequently Asked Questions
Live Screen Printing

Live Embroidery
What can I embroider at my event?
Tote bags, t-shirts, jean jackets, pouches, and bandanas can all be embroidered live. We suggest going with a fabric that doesn’t have a lot of stretch in order to ensure we can efficiently and accurately embroider your pieces. We also don’t recommend embroidering towels or plush fabrics due to the specialty hooping they require.
You can provide your own garments for the event, or Acme can help you find the perfect fit!
How many items can you embroider per hour?
This answer varies widely based on your design’s stitch count and the type of garment we’re embroidering. Typically, we can finish 20 items per hour on each machine, but we’ll be able to give you an accurate timing estimate based on your design and garment choice!

With our Standard Package, guests can choose from a set of 3-6 embroidery designs especially created for your company or event. They can further customize their design by choosing a thread color and design placement.
With our Personalization Package, guests can embroider their initials or names onto their garment, as well as choose a font, thread color, and design placement. The Personalization Package is only available at low-capacity events and incurs an extra fee.
