Jiashun / Fabric, cut & stitch
Give your artwork another layer.
Cut fabric. Stitched edges. A finish with its own texture. Develop appliqué for your hoodies, jackets and pants, from the first artwork review to the approved garment sample.
Made to order as part of your Jiashun garment project.
01 / Choose the character
Start with the appearance you want. Fabric, edge treatment and stitch choices work together; these illustrations show a direction for sample development.
Finish studyContrast fabric / defined outline
A cut fabric letter or shape with a covered, stitched border. Start here for bold wordmarks and varsity-inspired graphics.
On the sampleReview tight corners, narrow gaps and the border width at the actual artwork size.
Finish studyExposed edge / worn-in texture
A visible fabric edge sits outside the securing stitches. Pair the unfinished outline with a washed garment when an irregular surface is part of the design.
On the sampleAgree the intended fray on a sample after the proposed wash. The stitch line still needs to secure the shape.
Finish studyStacked colours / added depth
Overlapping cut shapes build a two-tone letter or a larger composition. The relationship between each layer becomes part of the artwork.
On the sampleCheck alignment, bulk and flexibility where several layers meet, especially near seams.
Finish studyClose colours / texture contrast
Let the fabric surface and stitched outline carry the mark. Similar shades can give a quieter finish on a hoodie, crewneck or jacket.
On the sampleCompare the actual materials in daylight and after finishing; matching colour names do not guarantee a match.

Discuss your artwork02 / Appliqué in context
Explore placement, scale and contrast through these Vale Forever style references, from repeated denim motifs to appliqué layered over a printed graphic.
Reference 01 / Vale Forever
Star-shaped motifs in different sizes spread across both legs. Plan each position around pockets, seams and the finished garment shape.
Reference 02 / Vale Forever
Large contrast letters span a panelled T-shirt. Review the cut shapes, stitched outlines and alignment across the chest at the intended size.
Reference 03 / Vale Forever
Outlined grey letters sit over a faded graphic on a dark T-shirt. Develop the appliqué, print and garment finish together so each layer remains readable.

03 / Choose the construction
Similar-looking artwork can use different constructions. Compare the result you want before choosing the method.
| Method | How it is built | Consider it for | Review on the sample |
|---|---|---|---|
| Appliqué | Cut fabric + securing stitches | Large letters, contrasting fabrics and layered graphics | Edge finish, fray, layer alignment and garment drape |
| Direct embroidery | Thread stitched into the garment | Smaller logos or artwork defined primarily by thread | Stitch density, backing, fine detail and puckering |
| Embroidered patch | A separately made embroidered badge | A distinct emblem with its own border | Badge stiffness, edge, backing and attachment |
| Chenille | A raised yarn-pile treatment, often patch-based | Soft, textured letters and bold emblems | Pile coverage, outline, attachment and finishing |
04 / Develop the real piece
Approve the appliqué on the intended garment and in its finished state. These are the decisions to settle together.
Supply dimensions for the whole graphic and its smallest shapes. Narrow gaps and tight corners may need simplifying before cutting and stitching.
Choose the base garment and appliqué fabric together. Compare stretch, weight and shrinkage so the decoration moves with the garment.
Specify a covered or exposed edge and locate the artwork from a fixed garment point. Check seam crossings, backing and comfort on the reverse.
Review the complete sample after the proposed finish. Agree colour, alignment, attachment and any intentional fray before approving bulk.

06 / Before we begin
Appliqué uses cut fabric shapes attached to a garment with stitching, often with an embroidered outline. The fabric fills the larger area while the stitching defines and secures the edge. The material, border and garment are developed together.
An embroidered patch is made as a separate badge and then attached. Appliqué uses cut fabric as part of the design. The two can be combined, so send a close-up reference and specify the construction you want rather than relying on a label alone.
Hoodies, sweatshirts, jackets and pants are possible starting points. The appliqué fabric and base garment must work together: weight, stretch, shrinkage, surface texture and intended washing all affect the result. Final material combinations need sample review.
The wash can be part of the intended appearance, but it may change the edge, colour and shape. Confirm the decoration and wash sequence, then review a sample in its final finished state. Agree how much fray is acceptable and check attachment after the intended care process.
The garment, fabric sourcing, artwork size, number of separate shapes, layers, edge stitching, placements and finishing all affect the quote. Jiashun garment orders start at 50 pieces, with the final minimum confirmed for the product, fabric and customization. Send the quantity by style and colour for a project-specific quote.
Send your artwork or reference, intended dimensions, garment type, fabric or weight preference, placement, colour direction and quantity. Add your delivery country and target date. A close-up helps explain the edge finish; sample pricing and timing are confirmed after reviewing the project.
