How it works

From logo to finished order in four steps.

Order and pay online, or ask for a free quote first. Either way, nothing is made until you approve a proof.

01

Build your order

Browse the catalog, pick colors, sizes and decoration, and upload your logo at checkout. Rather talk it through? Ask for a free quote instead.

02

We prep your design

New embroidery designs are digitized in-house for a one-time $35 fee, refunded if we have already digitized that design for you.

03

Approve your proof

We email a proof showing your design, size and placement. Production starts only after you sign off.

04

Wear it soon

We produce everything in-house in Federal Way. Most orders ship 5 to 10 business days after you approve your proof, and local pickup is free.

Our story

Two friends, one shop, a lot of thread.

Threadify is a custom apparel shop based in Federal Way, Washington, built by longtime friends Justin Kaiponen & Alex Chan. What started as a love of making things turned into a full decoration studio, and you'll often find us set up at local markets, totes in hand, talking shop with customers.

We run everything ourselves, so the person who takes your order is the same person stitching it. That means honest advice on which method fits your project, careful attention on every piece, and a finished product we're proud to put our name on.

In-house embroidery DTF printing Custom patches
Straightforward pricing

No surprises, ever.

Every quote spells out exactly what you'll pay (the blank garment, the decoration and any one-time fees) before anything goes into production.

  • Garment prices shown up front: every product lists its real starting blank-garment price.
  • One-time $35 digitizing fee for new embroidery designs, waived when you reuse a design we've already digitized.
  • No minimums on DTF printing: order one shirt or one hundred.
  • You approve before we produce: you see a proof and the full price before anything is made.
  • No hidden fees: the price at checkout or on your quote is what you pay.
Good to know

Frequently asked questions.

The short version of everything customers ask us most. Something else on your mind? Just ask. We reply within one business day.

How fast will I get my order?
Most orders ship in 5 to 10 business days once you approve your proof. Working against a hard deadline? Tell us the date and we'll let you know up front if we can hit it.
Is there a minimum order?
No minimums on DTF printing. A single shirt is welcome. For embroidery, small runs are our bread and butter; tell us your quantity and we'll quote it straight.
What does digitizing cost, and when do I pay it?
New embroidery designs are digitized for a one-time $35 fee. Reordering with a design we've already digitized? The fee is waived. Your stitch file stays on file for next time.
What file should I send for my logo?
If you already have a digitized embroidery file (.dst, .pes, .exp, .emb, .jef, .vp3) we can start right away. Otherwise a clean PNG or JPG works, and vector files (SVG, AI, EPS, PDF) are even better. Embroidery designs should fit within a 4 in × 4 in area.
Which method is right for my project?
Rough guide: embroidery for polos, hats, jackets, and anything that should feel premium and last years; DTF for full-color artwork, photos, and small batches; patches when you want the design to move between garments. Not sure? Send us the design and we'll recommend the best fit, honest advice, even if it's the cheaper option.
Can I supply my own garments?
Yes, we decorate customer-supplied garments too. Because we can't replace items we didn't source, we'll ask you to okay a simple spoilage waiver first.
Do you offer local pickup?
Yes, we're in Federal Way, WA, and local pickup is free. We also ship anywhere in the US.
Do I pay anything before my quote is approved?
No. You build your order, we send a written quote with exact pricing and timing, and nothing is charged or produced until you approve it.
