obzezzed350 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Hey guys, Looking for advice on embroidering a fire suit. Would it be easier to have a patch made or just have the logo I want stitched into the fabric directly? Also, I have read that nomex thread should be used, would the local tailor/cleaner that I have prior business with be the best option to only sew into the third (outer) layer? Any stories/advice/tips are appreciated! Thanks Joseph - doesnt know how to sew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSCoupe Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 The suit will have to be disassembled for them to sew only the outer layer (not easy). I had all of my embroidery made into patches and those were then sewn onto the suit (minimal penetration of the fireproof layers). Nomex thread is the best way to go, but is hard to find in any large assortment of colors. Here is the thread from when I asked about it: viewtopic.php?f=39&t=20325 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbrew8991 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Pegasus had a pretty decent selection of nomex thread last time I looked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
