From a teenager I was lovingly referred to as Lollie, a nickname that has held a special place in my heart since my first niece sweetly struggled to say "Laurie”.

The name took on a deeper significance when I met my future husband, Greg. Early in our relationship, during one of those deep conversations about family, I learned his preferred grandparent name would be "Pop" or "Pops." In that moment, I just knew “this was the man I was meant to marry”.

It all came full circle in 2023 when we officially became "Lollie & Pop." Today, our hearts are filled by five beautiful grandbabies, and we anticipating more.

Through it all, my biggest blessing is the unwavering support of my husband. I truly couldn't navigate life or accomplish all that I do without him lovingly by my side, giving me all the encouragement a lady could ever wish for.

In short, I decided to honor all of these special moments in one simple name for my shop and most importantly placing our two names as one in “LolliePop Stitching”.

Unfortunately sometimes life/work gets too busy to upload every design that we create. If there is anything you are looking for please contact us. We are happy to share what we have and what we're willing to create. Luckily for me, I have been enjoying working with thread for 30+ years, so there's no way that I could possibly list everything.

Appliqué embroidery is a technique where fabric pieces are sewn onto a larger piece to create a pattern. The pieces are secured with embroidery stitches like satin or zigzag, which can cover the raw edges for a clean look or left raw. This method, by hand or machine, adds texture and dimension to clothing and textiles.

Contact us, we are always excited to see what it is that you are looking for. When we are able to accommodate your request, it gives us joy. We love to be the reason someone smiles today!

The process typically involves several steps:

1. Logo Design Creation: You provide your logo or artwork.

2. Digitizing: The design is converted into a digital file that tells the embroidery machine where to stitch and in what order.

3. Proofing/Sample Stitch: A test run or digital proof is often created for your approval to ensure accuracy in colors, size, and placement.

4. Production: Once approved, the design is stitched onto your selected apparel using commercial machines.

5. Finishing: Excess threads and stabilizer backings are trimmed, and the final product is inspected for quality.

Digitizing is the process of converting your design into a stitch file format the embroidery machine can read. This is a one-time setup fee per design, and the file can be reused for future orders on the same type of product (e.g., the file for a hat logo is different from a shirt logo due to layout and sizing, therefore likely not interchangeable).

Not all designs are suitable for embroidery. Fine details, small text (generally text smaller than 0.25 inches or 36pt in height is difficult to read), and complex color gradients can be challenging. Embroidery works best with simple, bold designs. We will advise if your design needs simplification to ensure clarity.

Yes, there are physical constraints related to the size of the embroidery hoop and the garment area. Common placements like a left chest logo or a hat front have specific size limits. We will work with you to ensure the design fits appropriately.

While I do embroider every design right here, in the sewing studio. I also have items that I purchase specifically for embroidery (clothing, home decor, towels, etc...). However, my handmade items should always be clearly marked and in my "Handmade Collection", as I take great pride in these items. If ever, there is a question regarding a product, please know we are happy to answer any question.

Embroidery cost is typically based on the stitch count of the design, setup time, and machine run time, rather than the number of colors used (unlike screen printing). More complex designs with higher stitch counts cost more. If there are designs on multiple areas of any one item there is a hooping charge of $5/per. The overall quantity of the order also affects the price, with higher quantities often resulting in a lower cost per unit.

We have no minimum at this time, however, we do offer a discount on multiple items, which can be a good option for small orders or personal use.

Production time is typically 7–10 business days after the design proof is approved, though this can vary depending on order size and the shop's workload. Rush options may be available for an additional fee.
