Designing Your Custom Throw

First, you will need to gather images - photographs, pictures, drawings, graphics, etc. of the subjects you want represented on your throw. Be sure the images are clear and at the angle you want displayed. Avoid images that are blurry, too dark, too small or in any way unreadable.

Create a rough layout sketch. Things to consider -

Do you want your design to be horizontal or vertical?

Decide if you want a border. Indicate your preference for style (i.e. simple, ornate, wide, narrow, with corner emblems, etc.) and we can design it for you. Include a rough sketch.

What will be your focal point - the center of interest?

Decide on the placement of the images and text. Be aware that heavy detail is not always possible. The computer art work is created with pixels at 72 dpi. The smaller the image, the less detail is available.

Include any names, dates or text you'd like and indicate where you would like them to appear.

Add any notes, instructions or specifics that will help our artists create an image that fulfills your vision for your throw.

Computer artwork can be sent on a CD or Zip Disk and formatted as a Mac TIFF or JPEG file but please include a clear printout as well. This is necessary to clearly see detail and in order to match colors to weaves.

We will contact you upon receipt of your purchase order and art materials. We will send you a rough sketch of your design in about 10 working days. Once you approve this sketch, then we will design a color computer generated sketch to show what your product will look like. It is very important to check for spelling errors and anything else such as placement of logo etc. Then just sign and date the approval form and fax it back to us. Remember, once you approve the color sketch there is a penalty of $200.00 to make any changes. We will then weave you a finished prototype within about 10 days for your final approval.

Once you approve the prototype 50% of your total order is due at this time. We accept VISA or Mastercard. We can also receive funds by wire transfers and electronic transfers.

Your total project will then be produced in about 4-6 weeks. All products are individually poly bagged with care instructions.

You will be contacted on the day we ship your order and the balance is due at this time by VISA, Mastercard, wire transfer or electronic transfer.

Shipping - FOB our plants in N.C. or S.C.

Due to the nature of the weaving process we reserve the right to ship 5% + or - of the total ordered.

Cancellations- You will be charged for any and all work done up to the date of cancellation. However, once production has started we will not accept any cancellations.
