When most people start a clothing brand, they focus on designs and logos — but manufacturing decisions are where most mistakes actually happen.
Things like:
Which stitching techniques should be used around the neck, shoulders, and hems
Why some garments fail after a few washes
What printing techniques actually work for different fabrics (and which ones brands think they need but don’t)
What options manufacturers usually have in their printing and embroidery arsenal
I’ve been in apparel manufacturing for 15+ years, and I’m still learning every day. I put together a free manufacturing guide covering the basics that I wish more brand owners knew before ordering samples or bulk production.
If you’re starting out (or fixing production issues), this should save you time, money, and headaches.

Happy to answer any production or manufacturing questions in the comments as well — that’s what this community is for.
