One-Off Projects

Some embroidery ideas are so unique that they do not belong in a menu of standard services—and that is where one-off projects come in. Clever Orchid welcomes these special requests, whether it is stitching handwriting from a loved one's note, recreating a vintage logo on a modern garment, or adding meaningful text to an heirloom piece. Because every one-off project is different, the first step is a conversation. You can call, text, or send a message describing what you have in mind, and then we will schedule an appointment to look at the item and talk through options. We will be honest if we think a different technique or placement would work better, and we will walk through any risks on delicate or irreplaceable pieces. These projects are often deeply personal and time-intensive, so we recommend reaching out as early as possible—especially if you have a specific date in mind. Pricing is based on complexity, stitch count, and fabric type, and may include a design or digitizing fee if we are starting from handwritten or photographic elements. If you have been told “no” by other shops because your idea is unusual or not high-volume enough, there is a good chance it might be a perfect fit for Clever Orchid.
