Q: Why can’t I choose Free collection from school or add my child’s details?
A: Just to explain how our website works, lots of school around the country have the same name. In order to stop parents ordering with us by mistake, the website need to know your address before it offers you the choice of Free collection from school. Once you have registered with your address on the website or selected your address using your post code address finder it should then show you the option for Free collection from school and enter your child’s details. You should only have to do this once.

Approving your embroidery designs & errors
Q: Why do I have to approve my design?

If your design contains any errors we can change them before it has been embroidered. You need to check your design THOROUGHLY and tell us immediately of any errors using the contact us page. We are human and can make errors when choosing colours, copying over information or with spellings. We ask you for approval to make sure you like your design, but more importantly that you checked that the information, colours and spellings ARE correct.
If you do not properly check your design and it contains any errors, we will be unable to rectify them once it has been embroidered.

Can I supply my own garments
Q: Can I supply my own garments for you to embroider?
A: We can supply a large range of quality garments specifically designed (some with hidden access panels) and suitable for embroidery. Therefore we don’t normally offer embroidery on garments supplied by our customers. If you can’t find what you’re looking for on our website use the contact us page or call us on 07779 234339.
If you have a specialist item e.g. sports clothing, equestrian or martial arts etc. that we can’t supply then use the contact us page and we will be happy to see if we can help.
Please note however if we do undertake to embroider on an item that you supply, whilst we will take every care, it is a mechanical process and sometimes things go wrong. Therefore we take no responsibility for any damage or loss during the embroidery process of items not supplied by us.

Garment Care
Q: What’s the best way to wash my school uniform?
A: Always follow the manufacturer’s washing instructions printed on the garment label. After you have tried the garment for size (click this link to find out what the washing instruction symbols mean). We recommend you wash the garment before first use and always wash the garment inside out to reduce the chance of pilling, also avoid the use of fabric conditioner and allow them to dry naturally.
Q: Why do fabrics suffer from pilling?
A: Having researched this problem and talked to our suppliers, the upshot is that it is almost impossible to guarantee a pill free garment. All fabrics pill to some extent. You can minimise the effects by avoiding friction or abrasion. With weaker fibers the pills fall off, but with stronger fibers the pill remains attached to the fabric. Always wash or tumble dry your garment inside out. You can removing pills with a de-fuzzing razor, a de-pilling comb or gently by hand. It should be noted that pilling, although not aesthetically pleasing, does not actually affect the performance of the garment in any way.
