If you’re ordering custom embroidery for your school, club, or team, the last thing you want is surprises. At Four Seasons Screen Printing in Marathon City, WI, we’ve worked with groups across Marathon County and Wausau for over 20 years. In that time, we’ve noticed a pattern—most teams ask the same core questions before placing an embroidery order.
If you're looking for embroidery in Marathon County WI, here’s what to know before you get started. These are the questions our local customers ask first—and the answers that help you avoid delays, mistakes, and added costs.
This is almost always the first question.
The short answer: most embroidery orders take 10 to 14 business days once we’ve approved your design and received your garments.
If your team has a deadline—like a tournament, school spirit week, or fundraiser—let us know up front. We do our best to accommodate rush jobs, especially for local groups in Marathon County and Wausau, but embroidery takes time. Every logo or name is stitched line by line.
Plan ahead when you can.
Yes, but there are some limits.
You can bring in items like jackets, hats, and bags for custom embroidery. Just make sure the fabric can be stitched safely. Some super-thin materials don’t hold up well to embroidery needles.
We’ll take a look and let you know if it's workable. Keep in mind—if you supply your own garments and one gets damaged in the embroidery process (which is rare, but possible), we can’t always replace it. When you order through us, we handle that risk.
Embroidery pricing depends on three things:
Most small logos or name placements fall within a standard price range. Larger, full-back designs cost more because they require more time and thread.
We’ll give you a detailed quote before we start. If you’re ordering for a whole team or club, we can often offer volume discounts.
Yes. For embroidery orders, we always do a sew-out sample. That’s a stitched version of your logo or design on scrap fabric. We send you a photo for approval before moving to production.
We want you to be happy with how the thread color, font, and size look in real life—not just on a screen.
For embroidery, we need your logo as a high-quality image file—preferably a vector file (.AI, .EPS, or .PDF). If you don’t have that, send us what you do have and we’ll help get it ready.
Embroidery files also need to be "digitized." That means converting your design into a format our embroidery machines can read. We handle that part. There’s a one-time fee for digitizing, but once we have it, you can reorder with no setup charge in the future.
Lots. These are the most popular for local teams and clubs:
Embroidery works best on heavier fabrics like cotton, poly blends, fleece, and canvas. For thinner materials or large graphics, screen printing is usually the better fit.
Not at all. We work with:
We also build online stores so your group can take orders directly from families or staff without collecting forms or money. It’s one of our most requested services.
Yes. A lot of local teams do this. For example, they’ll order screen printed t-shirts for players and embroidered polos for coaches. Or they'll screen print the back of a hoodie and embroider the front.
We can help you figure out what looks best, and what works for your budget.
We’re not a national chain. We’re a local, family-owned business that’s been here in Marathon City for over two decades. We’ve worked with almost every school district and youth sports league in the area, and we know how to keep things simple for busy parents, coaches, and teachers.
We care about getting it right the first time. That means clear communication, no surprises in pricing, and honest feedback if a design or item won’t work well with embroidery.
And because we live and work here too, you’re not waiting for items to ship from across the country. You can stop in, check samples, and pick up orders right here in town.
Whether you're outfitting a youth soccer team in Wausau, customizing hats for your booster club in Marathon City, or ordering polos for your business, we can help.
We’ll walk you through every step of the embroidery process, from choosing items to approving the design.
