Embroidery

All of the samples on the AtarotCorners or Sets pages were made for other customers and will give you some ideas. I may be able to duplicate the item provided I have the silk available. There are a few items on the Buy it Now page; more will be added in the near future.

Designs and text are machine embroidered onto silk, wool or cotton velveteen. I do not use linen since there is the possibility that the tallit is made of wool or a wool blend. Combining wool with linen is shatnez and is strictly prohibited by Jewish law. I use high-sheen polyester or rayon thread so that embroidered items can be safely dry cleaned.

After the designs are stitched, the embroidered items are cut to size, hemmed and pressed. A lightweight fusible backing is then ironed onto the back side.

I keep many colors of silk in stock as well as a huge thread inventory, but if you need something custom, I’ll do my best to accommodate you. You may also send your fabric to me; I only work with all natural fabrics as they yield the best results, but I will determine usability once I inspect it. I do not embroider on polyester as it puckers and does produce a nice finished product.

I have hundreds of designs in many categories and quite a few in the Judaica category, so let me know if you are looking for sometime in particular; most likely I can find it for you. There are also many embroidery design sites online that I can direct you to. Depending on the price, I may purchase the design and it becomes part of my inventory.

If you are interested in having an atarah and/or set of corners custom embroidered, please fill out the Embroidery Order Form and I will get back in touch with you as soon as I can.
