Embroidery application FAQ
Questions for preparing an embroidery yarn enquiry.
Do I need to know the exact yarn construction before contacting Suvarnatantu?
No. You can begin with the embroidery design, textile, colour direction, metallic effect and available yarn or sample reference.
What information should I provide for an embroidery yarn enquiry?
