designs as unique as you are
At Urban Threads, machine embroidery isn’t just decoration—it’s self-expression.
Every design we offer is made to say something about who you are, or the unique spirit of the person you’re stitching for. Whether it’s bold, geeky, edgy, elegant, or just beautifully weird, your designs should mean something.
That’s the difference at Urban Threads.
artist designed & one of a kind
Our designs are created by our own passionate team of in-house artists. This isn’t outsourced or stock art—it’s original work digitized with heart and imagination. From fantasy dragons and dark creatures to celestial motifs and modern mashups, you’ll find styles here you won’t see anywhere else.
Quality You Can Count On
Every single size of every design is sewn out and tested by our team before it ever reaches your download folder. From stitch density to special effects, we tweak and test our digitzing and sewouts to make sure your final project looks as good in thread as it did in your imagination.
Plus, our exclusive customizable thread exchange makes it easy to match colors and replicate the magic—without the guesswork.
By Creatives, for creatives
We’re a team of artists, crafters, and stitchers. We know what it’s like to be on the other side of the embroidery hoop—and it shows in everything we do.
Urban Threads is 100% employee-owned, and that creative ownership shines through in our designs, our quality and our commitment to make everything we do as beautiful to us as it is to you.
When you support Urban Threads, you’re supporting real working artists and a Minnesota based team that loves what we do.
