Default Need Advice on Embriodery

Hi guys and gals,
I have a question for all you embroidery people! I have a few ideas i want do for my line but need some advice. I want to do a small 1" by 1" inch or 1.5" by 1.5" embroidered logo on some cardigans, polos and tees. The question I have it will it look good. I attached the logo and I am worried that it would be to detailed and not look good and be out of money by wasting it and not knowing how it will look. I think it may be to small to have so much detail.
What you think? I would love to hear what all you great embroidery people think!
thanks,
-Tim

That's a pretty picture that will not lend itself well to embroidery. Especially at the size you are thinking about.

At that size I don't think you will be able to embroider it to look good. Why do you want it so small?

Tim,
They sell patches that you can sublimate on. That way you could have your logo look exactly the way you want AND it would be cheaper than embroidery but still look high end. OR, you could have someone sublimate on poly fabric(you can buy by the yard) and embroider a satin stitch around the edge just to attach them to the garment.

Way too small and too much detail, it will never look great embroidered, no matter what size you do it at. You can't compare a graphic with all the details and shading that looks great in print to embroidery.
