What are the differences between InfiniStitch™ and traditional embroidery?Traditional embroidery requires a crafty person with a talent for stitching; or, if it's automated embroidery it will require art designed specifically for embroidery, large order quantities in order to make it affordable, and often times it has limits to the number of different colors per design.
InfiniStitch™ breaks these barriers by allowing CafePress users to use any digital image, unlimited colors, and is made affordable for the one-off nature of print-on-demand.
Visually, the main difference is that traditional embroidery can take on any shape (free form) and InfiniStitch™ requires a template and pre-determined dimensions.
