One of our specialties  here at Cruisin USA & Bowlingshirt.com is the fine art of chain-stitch embroidery. This type of embroidery is used to write names on bowling shirts, or perhaps you've seen it done at an amusement park on hats.  Prior to 1950, chain-stitch embroidery was the primary method of lettering shirts.

  Now, over half a century later, Cruisin USA & Bowlingshirt.com have revived the lost art of chain-stitch embroidery. No computers, no sophisticated machinery; just skilled and dedicated artisans who still produce shirt lettering individually, stitch by stitch.We pride ourselves in producing that unique shirt or jacket that makes a personal statement for whomever wears it.


PRICING
  Our price for this chain-stitch embroidery is $4.95 per word. As the name implies, the stitches are all linked together in a chain.  A word constitutes an unbroken chain of stitches.  Imagine you are writing a word or phrase in cursive.  Every time you lift your pencil from the paper would be the same as breaking the chain of stitches.

EX: Biggie = 1 word     
      BigPapa = 2 words (even though there isn't a space, a capital letter constitutes beginning a new word)

NOTE: For initials, you may use up to 3 capital letters (without spaces) to count as one word (Ex: EAP, not E A P)

If you have any special requests as to thread color or name placement you may add it to the comments section of the shopping cart. Also please call us with any additional questions:
