I have pre-cut tackle twill and sew disk ....
I need the tackle twill sewn onto 50 baseball jerseys left chest (twill is 5" x 5").
Can anyone recommend a company that will do this for me at a reasonable price? Price range for this?
I believe you will need an embroidery machine, not a sewing machine, to do the sew. An entry level commercial one that accepts digital files start at around $10,000.
You can either call around to your local embroidery shops or put a service wanted classified here in the forum.
Im in So cal. the image i need is just one letter maybe around 5x4 on the front left chest of a basball jersey
You could probably get away with using a home embroidery machine for this size. But if you needed to do a larger size later, this machine probably couldn't do it.
Home embroidery machines run between $500 and $2,500, depending on features of course. But even the $500 should do applique. I know Brother makes a PE version that can accept commercial embroidery files. They run less than $1,000.
Not sure how many of these jerseys you might do in the future, but weight buying and learning to run a machine vs. outsourcing your applique to a commercial embroiderer who would charge maybe $3-$5 each.
yeah! i was planning on tryin the method of vinyl on the edges to apply it to the garmet when i started looking to see how much it would be to do it myself sewn. but your right buying and learning how to use it is not something i want to do right now besides once i do something like this someone is bound to order something in a bigger size which i cant do with the cheaper machine and ill be back here looking for help lol so i will try to find someone local to see if we can work something out.

May I ask where you got the disk and pre-cut tackle twill from? I've been looking for this and can only find the pre-cut, but I need the disk too so I can stitch around them.
I've done tackle twill on a home machine, albeit a very expensive home machine (I started out with a Designer SE). If you're going to continue with it, the Brother PR-600 and the Barudan Elite XL are nice smaller machines to start with.
You can get cut twill with sew disks from TwillUSA (Bridget is the best), Stahls, and Dalco...those are the big ones. Or you can cut them yourself with a cutter and create the sew disks if you have the correct software (the Ioline 300 will do it all for you).
XCR, if you don't do embroidery already and don't plan on doing much more of it, I suggest just looking for a contract embroiderer. When I was looking for someone for my large orders, I actually just did a google search and found some.
If you're going to sub it out, I would start by looking for someone who specializes in Letterman jackets...they would have a good deal of experience in doing what you need.
So does anybody have any local embroiders in Socal that can do it? I have a simialr dilemma. I have 50 jerseys with sew disk and there are about 10 letters across the front I guess 3.5" x10" maybe or whatver the standard size is for an adult baseball jersey. Anyhow I got a quote for $10 each to sew them on! Which I think is kinda high. What do you think? Also, how much should I pay to get the numbes sewn on the back? I plan on ordering custom appliques from Stah'ls or Twillusa.
