How to Create Fabric Distressing & Embossed Logo Designs.
In our latest YouTube tutorial, we’re diving into how to add texture and character to your designs. This tutorial isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s about mastering textile techniques to perfect your mock-ups and save time and money during sampling and manufacturing.
Distressed Textures
Distressing adds realism. It mimics the natural wear and tear of garments over time, giving your design that lived-in look. We show you how to layer this effect without overdoing it — so it feels intentional yet natural.
Rips & Fading
Well-placed rips and fading draw the eye. This is especially important for pieces like shorts and jeans that see friction around the thighs and knees. We show you how to balance rawness with structure, so your shorts still feel designed — not destroyed.
Decorative Stitching
This is where function meets flair. Contrast or exposed stitching lines elevate simple silhouettes and add custom-feel craftsmanship. We cover both placement and digital stitching techniques to make your details pop.
Embossed Logo Effect
Embossed logos are one of our biggest custom design and tutorial requests. We teach you how to easily apply a subtle raised logo effect that adds depth — perfect for branding that feels elevated and embedded into the design.
