    We brought Kai in to do live chainstitch embroidery at our event at the Santa Monica Proper, and honestly, it made the night. Guests could watch their tote bags get stitched right in front of them, and there was a line for it most of the evening. Kai is just great to have around. He was great with our guests, easygoing with our staff, and unfazed when things got busy. Everyone went home with something no one else had, which is exactly what we wanted. If you're looking for chainstitch embroidery or a live activation, I'd point you straight to amR.

    We've been working with Kai and amR for a while now, and we're grateful to have him as part of the Roadie family. He's created custom jackets, hats, high-end merch, and live event pieces for us, and his chainstitch work is consistently second to none. At Roadie, we believe people can feel when real care and craftsmanship go into a product, and Kai's work reflects exactly that. He's helped elevate how our merch looks and feels, works incredibly well with our team, and understands our brand as well as we do. We couldn't recommend him more. Great guy, great work, and we appreciate everything he does for Roadie.

Common questions

PLANNING YOUR EVENT

WHY CHOOSE LIVE EMBROIDERY FOR AN EVENT?

Live chainstitch embroidery gives guests something to be part of, not just something to watch. They choose a design, see it stitched right in front of them, and leave with a personalized piece made just for them.

The stitching itself becomes part of the event. The vintage machine, the artist, and the process naturally draw people in and give guests something fun to watch, photograph, and share.

For brands, it’s a simple way to create a more personal experience and give guests something they’ll actually want to keep. Instead of a standard giveaway, they leave with something made for them on the spot and a reminder of the event they can wear long after it’s over.

Can we provide our own merchandise?

Absolutely. You can bring your own merchandise, or we can help you find the right pieces for your event.

Just send us what you’re thinking of using and we’ll make sure it works well for live embroidery before the event.

Where do you offer live embroidery in Los Angeles?

We offer live embroidery for events across Los Angeles and Southern California. We regularly work in Santa Monica, Malibu, Venice, Marina del Rey, West Hollywood, and Beverly Hills.

We also work throughout Culver City, Pasadena, Manhattan Beach, Long Beach, Orange County, Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, Palm Springs, and San Diego.

Planning something farther away? We travel throughout California for events, too.

Can you create custom embroidery designs for our event?

Yes. We can create a custom selection of designs around your brand, campaign, or event, including logos, lettering, icons, and original artwork.

If you already have artwork in mind, send it over and we can adapt it for chainstitch. Before the event, we’ll confirm the designs, thread colors, placement, and what we’ll be stitching on.

Guests can then choose from the approved designs and watch their piece being embroidered live at the event.

Can amR handle large corporate events and high-volume activations?

Yes. We work on everything from smaller private events to corporate events, festivals, and large brand experiences with hundreds or thousands of guests.

For busier events, we can bring additional artists and machines to serve more guests and keep things moving.

We’re also happy to work directly with your agency, venue, or production team ahead of the event so everyone knows the plan before the day.

Do you travel outside Los Angeles?

Absolutely. We work across Southern California and travel throughout California for events.

For locations farther from Los Angeles, including San Francisco and Northern California, travel costs may be added depending on the location and event schedule.

If you’re planning something outside Los Angeles, send us the details and we’ll work out the best way to make it happen.

SETUP & PRICING

What’s included in the live embroidery setup?

We bring everything needed for the embroidery, including the artist, machine, table, thread, and stitching supplies.

We also take care of setup and pack-down, so once the details are confirmed, there’s very little your team needs to worry about.

How much does live embroidery cost?

Every event is a little different, so pricing depends on things like guest count, event length, how many artists are needed, and whether you’re bringing your own merchandise or would like help finding it.

Send us your event details and we’ll recommend a setup that makes sense and put together a clear quote.

How much space and power do you need?

A typical setup needs around 10 × 10 ft of space on a flat surface, plus access to a standard power outlet.

If you’re working with a smaller space, an outdoor venue, or somewhere with limited power, just let us know. We can usually find a setup that works.

We’re also happy to coordinate directly with your venue or production team before the event to sort out access, power, timing, and setup.

HOW MANY GUESTS CAN YOU ACCOMMODATE AT AN EVENT?

It depends on the designs, event length, and number of artists on-site. As a general guide, one embroidery station can usually complete around 120–150 personalized pieces during a full-day event, with many designs taking about 3–5 minutes each.

For larger events, we can add more artists and machines to increase capacity. We can also prepare part of the work ahead of time and finish the personalization live if that works better for the guest count.

Send us your estimated guest count and event hours, and we’ll help you figure out the best setup.
