Yes to all! While
we may be showing an embroidered collection in a particular sheeting color,
thread count or with a scallop or straight edge, ALL of our Custom Embroidered
Linens may be ordered to your specific requirements. The options available are
endless. We offer custom sizing, up to 1000TC sheeting, a range of sheeting
colors, scallop or straight edge or attached borders, quilted pique coverlets
and shams, and additional lines of embroidery or borders. All of these options
also make it possible to work with just about any budget!
Note: Most all of
the embroidered designs shown are available as Bed Linens (sheets, cases, duvet
covers, shams, bed coverlets, pillows) as well as Bath Linens (towels, mats,
shower curtains). Any design you see embroidered as bed linens may also be
embroidered as bath linens and vice versa.

Yes! We make every effort to be sure that our collections
show as true a color as possible on our website. However,
customer monitors may vary and thus colors may not always appear
true in appearance. Don't make a mistake! If you are uncertain
of what color to order or are overwhelmed with how many colors
to choose from, you may mail to us you wallpaper, fabric,
paint, carpet, tile swatches, etc. and we can quickly go
straight to the embroidered threads or fabric samples that best
coordinate with your swatch. This is the best and the quickest
way to coordinate your swatches to our fabrics and threads.
We
will mail you your thread swatches usually within 5-7 business
days. Fabric swatches typically can be mailed within 5-7
business days, while tape border swatches may take up to 3 weeks
to receive for the most current dye lot available. Embroidery
thread swatches for most collections are also available as well
as tape swatches for our linens that have an attached piped
border. Stitch-out threads are also available.

Note: Dye lots can change, particularly with the tape border
swatches.
What is Pique? What is the difference between Birds Eye Pique,
Dakota Pique, Diamond Pique and BuckEye Pique? What is the
difference?
Pique (pee-kay) is
a French word describing a woven fabric that has a special appearance referred
to as Birds Eye or Diamond Pique. The fabric is typically cotton,
cotton/polyester blends or some other make. The all over dot appearance is
referred to as Birds Eye or Buckeye Pique, while the all over small diamond pattern
is referred to as Diamond or Dakota Pique. These light to medium weight fabric
are the preferred choice for embroidering and for monogramming when constructed
as bed coverlets, duvet covers, shams, bed skirts, shower curtains and robes.
Birds Eye Pique and Diamond Pique wear well in the wash and tend
to be lighter weight. Buckeye Pique and Dakota Pique wear
extremely well in the wash for years and years and is more
densely woven making them very durable. All of our piques are
made of a cotton/polyester blend and are all machine wash and
low heat dry. See Pique swatches here>>
Note: We are able to offer most of our Pique fabrics in 100%
Egyptian Cotton, however we do require that the fabric be
pre-shrunk. Please call for quote. The all cotton fabrics
typically do not have the same lasting quality as our
cotton/polyester fabrics and may not be as suitable for daily
use.
How long will it
take to receive my custom linen order?
All embroidered
items are custom cut and custom sewn to order for each customer. Signature
Embroidered Bath Towels, Guest Towels and select Table Items can usually be
shipped within a few days. All other embroidered items typically deliver in
about 4-6 weeks. During peak seasons, such as Bridal or Holiday season, delivery
may run to 6-8 weeks.
How do I care for my new custom linens?
All of our embroidered linens are created to be used and to be
cared for easily. A medium wash and a low heat dry is basically
all that is needed. There are some precautions to be attended to
as with all of your special fine linens or other special home
collections, such as:
-
No Bleach! or any detergents with any mention of a
'bleaching agent' or other additives. We highly
recommend specialty linen detergents or other fine linen
detergent. The simpler the detergent, the better. Use the
newer detergents with additional additives, softeners or
other 'organic' labels with care.
-
Use a medium wash cycle or permanent press wash cycle with
cool temperature/low heat temperature. Remove your
embroidered items from the wash right away. Do not leave any
embroidered, applique or applied border items sitting in the
washing machine for any extended time.
-
Do not 'bone dry' your linens by over drying. This can
sometimes cause 'pilling'. Remove promptly and smooth to
fold or place back on the bed. This will help to eliminate
any wrinkling, especially for your sheets. Your pique items
have very little wrinkling. The more you wash and use your
sheeting items, the less they will wrinkle over time.
-
While not necessary, we do recommend that your special
linens not be washed with other fabric blends. This can
sometimes cause 'pilling'. This will also extend the life of
your linens.
-
If you like your sheeting items to be freshly pressed crisp
and smooth, you may press with an iron and use a damp cloth
to help set the fabric. Use your favorite starch if desired.
In general, we
usually do not embroider on a customer's fabric or merchandise as we select our
items for quality and specifically for embroidery. We will not embroidery on any
item that has been used or previously washed, silk, or antique items. We have
consistently embroidered monograms on chair backs, pillows, lounge chair covers,
and other projects for customers and designers. Monograms for COM projects must
be selected from the 'Couture Monogram' section. A Disclaimer Agreement must be
submitted by the customer or designer waiving all liability against Bella Lino
Custom Linens with regards to embroidering on COM items.
