What is Applique?
Often referred to as varsity lettering sweatshirts or collegiate hoodies, custom applique is most popular for schools spirit wear and grad wear. This is a form of custom decorative embroidery that is a creative and unique way to represent lettering, various shapes, or images. Many times, the materials contrast in style, texture, or colour. The intention is usually to create a bold one-of-a-kind effect. Applique can be accomplished with almost any material like cotton, fleece, felt, or wool. Patterns, scenes, or lettering are created by attaching smaller pieces of material to a larger piece, or the foundation fabric. This process provides a unique combination of colour and texture.
Applique is a great technique for quilting, adding dimension, colour, and interest. A great way to add to a wall is to include applique in the pattern, creating texture and dimension. Certain kinds of material, from polyester to metallic thread, or decorative beads, can be used to ornament clothing. Applique is also a great way to cover a permanent stain on a garment, especially children’s garments. You don’t need to throw a favourite garment away; you can simply add to it. Applique can also be applied to materials around the house like pillows or towels.
We love creating sewn-on applique. We are used to working with many different fabrics, from felt to twill, or canvas. We’ll do single layers or double layers, loose stitches or wide stitches, and a wide variety of garments, particularly sweatshirts.

Volunteers at the Mossom Creek Hatchery are delighted with the quality of the new t-shirts that mark our 50th year of operation. Service was exceptional. We got expert help on shirt choices, sizing, and placement of graphics with prompt replies to our email and phone queries. We were kindly welcomed to visit Get Bold in North Vancouver to see and touch the choices, confirming the good advice we had already received from Andrew. This visit allowed us to see how t-shirt printing and embroidery are done.

Hi Kaiya. I want to thank you for everything you did to help us out with our order. You were a great help in sourcing the ladies shirts. They love them. And for allowing us so much variety on our order. Everyone was happy and that doesn’t happen too often with large groups. Great job.
Much appreciated

Coming from a high school student who doesn't have any experience in bulk ordering and clothing design, The GetBold team is with you every step of the way there. They don't hesitate to lend hoodies to compare sizes and colours, and if you are concerned about quality, the team runs the design through you to make sure every last pixel is in the correct position. Not only are the details perfect on the print, but they are able to get it printed and shipped ridiculously fast.
They won't hesitate to answer your questions, whether that be stock, colors, payment, or shipping, and they will keep you up to date on the ordering progress. They let you take as much time as you need, while replying the moment they get the chance.
In short, if you are suddenly given the responsibility to import custom-designed hoodies of varying sizes ASAP, GetBold cannot disappoint you.
Elmira Chan
Highly recommend.
Great service and printing! We used GetBold to print our swim club's uniform after a very disappointing experience with another print shop last year. The difference was noticeable. GetBold was able to match the colour of the print and deliver earlier than I needed it. The quality of the print was also better than the other shop as well.
The online ordering system allowed for easy quotes without multiple emails. The mock up and invoices they sent was clear and understandable.
We used their printing and embroidery services. We will continue to use GetBold for future orders as well.
Hannah Williams
We really enjoy working with Get Bold. They have helped immensely with both our student and staff clothing items, consistently demonstrating patience and flexibility with our requests. They are also incredible at integrating graphic designs and styling fonts and images which leads to the designs turning out better than we could even hope for.
