Live Embroidery Events with Berlin Chainstitch

We come equipped with a vintage chainstitch embroidery machine and an artist to stitch names, custom flash, and initials live and on-site.

Chainstitch Embroidery creates one-of-a-kind pieces and your guests will walk away with sweet memories of your event (and a totally unique custom piece too!).

We’re available for events in Berlin, the rest of Germany, and the United States too!

  • Head over to the “Book Us” section on the header of the site or email hallochen@berlinchainstitch.com with any questions.

  • We're based in vibrant Berlin, Germany, but are happy to travel anywhere within the European Union for events!

  • From country western to varsity jackets, chainstitching uses looped stitches to create a continuous embroidered line. We use a vintage machine that is over 100 years old and though it is a machine, it is hand guided by an expert embroiderer using a small crank!

    It looks vintage because it is a vintage process, creating a unique and one of a kind customization for you or your clients.

  • Like the name suggests, it looks like a chain! It evokes vintage charm: think motorcycle patches, varsity jackets, vintage souvenirs...

    Chainstitching is hand guided, making each piece unique! We use a thick, fuzzy, cotton thread made in Germany to add to the vintage feel.

  • Chainstitch embroidery works best on non stretchy, flat items such as a denim jacket, a patch, a tote bag, or a bandana. 

    Based on our experience with events, we suggest having a unique, giftable item specifically for the event—like a hat, tag, or commemorative patch! We find that there’s a greater audience participation when guests are offered a free “entry level” gift, which in turn creates a positive association with the brand.

  • A chainstitching artist can embroider approximately 25 names or monograms in one hour depending on provided materials.

  • Yes, we have the capability to work with other embroiderers to meet your goals. A second embroiderer would double our output time (and is approximately double the cost).

  • Embroidery prices begin at 25 Euros per piece, but our hourly rates are available on request.

  • Chainstitch Embroidery is best for companies interested in a unique activation with a handmade touch.

    If you are looking for very small logos, complete uniformity, or 350+ items, digital embroidery might be what you’re after. Afterall, it’s hand vs computer!
