Professional placement follows standard measurements. Whether it's a left chest logo or a full back, these guidelines keep your work looking polished.
Standard Placement Guidelines
- •Left chest: about 7–9 in down from the shoulder seam, 4 in design.
- •Full back: centered, 5–7 in down from the collar.
- •Cap front: centered, 2.25–2.5 in tall.
- •Sleeve: centered, a few inches up from the cuff.
- •Pocket or tote: centered on the flat panel.
How to Get It Right
- 1Measure from a fixed reference like the collar or shoulder seam.
- 2Mark placement before hooping, not after.
- 3Use your machine's trace function to confirm.
- 4Keep left-chest logos around 3.5–4 in wide.
- 5Stitch a test to confirm placement on the actual garment.
