Live embroidery.
We bring a commercial embroidery machine to your event. Your guests pick a hat or garment, pick a design, and watch it stitched on the spot — live entertainment that leaves with something people actually keep.
The embroidery shop, brought to you.
Live embroidery — also called on-site embroidery, event embroidery, or an embroidery activation — turns custom merch into an experience. Instead of handing out pre-made swag, we set up a real commercial embroidery machine at your venue with a curated wall of hats, beanies, totes, and apparel.
Guests choose a piece and a design, watch it stitched in minutes, and walk away with something personal. The machine itself draws a crowd — expect a line, and expect people to film it.
Four steps to a stitched-live event.
Book your date
Tell us about your event — date, location, headcount, and vibe. We confirm availability and put together a simple package.
Pick the goods
Hats, beanies, totes, jackets, crewnecks — we help you curate a blank wall your guests will actually want to wear.
We set up on site
Our team arrives early with a commercial embroidery machine, thread wall, and display. All we need is a table’s worth of space and an outlet.
Guests watch it stitch
Each guest picks a piece and a design, then watches it embroidered live in minutes. They leave with something they’ll keep for years.
What guests walk away with.
Live Embroidery, on the day.
Any event, any size.
A live embroidery station needs about a table’s worth of space and one outlet. We’ve stitched in ballrooms, breweries, barns, parking lots, and gym floors — indoors or out, we make it work.
- Brand activations
Product launches, sponsorships, and experiential marketing that need a hook — guests stop, queue, film it, and leave wearing something they picked out themselves.
- Corporate events
Holiday parties, client appreciation days, conferences, and team offsites.
- Trade shows & conferences
A personalization station pulls traffic to your booth and holds it long enough to talk.
- Grand openings
Give early customers a branded keepsake and a reason to stick around.
- Weddings & showers
Personalized something they picked out themselves for your guests, made while they watch.
- Pop-ups & retail activations
Live customization is a crowd magnet — lines form to watch the machine run.
- Schools & fundraisers
Spirit pieces made on the spot for games, galas, and alumni events.

Live embroidery, answered.
What is live embroidery?
Live embroidery (also called on-site embroidery, event embroidery, or an embroidery activation) brings a commercial embroidery machine to your event. Guests choose a hat or garment and a design, then watch it stitched in front of them in minutes — a keepsake and live entertainment in one.
Do you do brand activations and experiential marketing events?
That’s most of what we do. Live embroidery is a personalization station: it stops foot traffic, holds guests at your booth or venue long enough for a real conversation, and sends them home wearing your logo. We work with brands, agencies, and event planners on product launches, sponsorships, retail pop-ups, and trade show activations across Indiana.
Where do you offer live embroidery?
PrintStitch is based in Fishers, Indiana and runs live embroidery events across the entire state — Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Evansville, South Bend, Bloomington, Lafayette, and everywhere in between.
What does a live embroidery setup look like?
A commercial embroidery machine, a display wall of hats and apparel, a thread selection, and our crew. All we need from you is about a 10′ × 10′ footprint and one standard 110V outlet — indoors or out, we bring everything else.
Can guests choose their own designs?
Yes. We prepare a menu of designs before the event — your logos, monograms, or artwork we digitize for you — and guests pick their favorite plus thread colors on the spot.
How many pieces can you embroider at an event?
Most designs run 5–10 minutes each, so a typical 3–4 hour event yields dozens of personalized pieces. For large events we can bring additional machines.
How much does live embroidery cost?
Events are priced as a flat rate covering the machine, crew, travel, setup, and teardown, plus the cost of blanks. Send us your date, location, and headcount — we reply within a day and set up a quick call to talk through the details before quoting.
