Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do I order A Note To Cherish?
Select your chosen note and take a clear, well-lit photograph of the piece. Please be aware that the maximum embroidery area for A Note To Cherish is 5 1/2 in x 4 1/2 in. If you are unsure whether your note will fit within these dimensions, feel free to email us a photo at contactnotestocherish@gmail.com and we will be happy to check this for you. Place your order, uploading your photograph(s) on the product page, and select whether you want your piece unframed or framed and if so, choose between the wood or black wood effect frame. Dimensions of the inner area of our frames are 5 in x 7 in, and both framed and unframed notes will be cut to fit this size. If required, you can place any further instructions, such as if you wish for a portion of your note not to be embroidered, in the special instructions box at checkout. We also embroider with black thread as standard, but if you would like your thread to be a different colour then please specify this in the box at checkout and we will be happy to accommodate.

Do I need to send you my note in the post?
No, you don’t need to send us your physical note as we work confidently from clear, well-lit photographs.
I am unsure how to photograph my note, can you help?
Of course. If you’re having trouble or are unsure on how best to photograph the handwriting you wish to be embroidered, we have created a short guide which can be found here. If you’re still unsure or would like us to check your photograph(s) are suitable before you order, please feel free to email them to us at contactnotestocherish@gmail.com and we will be happy to check this for you.
Can you combine pieces of my loved ones writing to create a new message?
We can! If you have enough snippets and samples of the handwriting you want us to embroider then we can combine these to create a new message of your choosing. Please email us at contactnotestocherish@gmail.com before ordering so we can discuss what you have in mind.
Can you embroider a language besides English?
Of course! We embroider the handwriting exactly as you see it in the photograph you upload at the time of ordering, so it can be in any language.
Can you embroider drawings or doodles instead of handwriting?
Yes, of course. Simple line drawings and doodles can be embroidered just like handwriting can. This can be a doodle alongside your handwritten message or just a drawing on it’s own, a common example that people choose to turn into A Note To Cherish are drawings by their children. If you want to know if your drawing or doodle will work before ordering, feel free to email us a photograph at contactnotestocherish@gmail.com
