5 Best Embroidery Shops in Singapore (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

A corporate uniform order in Singapore can run into hundreds of pieces, while a single embroidered patch for a school jacket might be a one-off job most shops turn away for not meeting minimum order quantity. The embroidery shops on this page span both ends, and four of the five hold ratings of 4.8 or higher, so the deciding factor is usually whether a shop will take your specific job size, not whether the stitching will be clean.

Short answer: For corporate uniforms and bulk embroidery in Singapore, Ark Industries (5.0 stars, 250 Google reviews) and EMB3 (5.0, 211 reviews) lead the field, both known for taking on small custom orders that other shops decline. For premium gifting programmes, Shevron (4.8, 156 reviews) specializes in branded corporate gifts, while Stitchsmith (4.9, 182 reviews) handles patches and one-off custom pieces.

Our take: A deeply experienced choice for bulk uniform embroidery, tied for the top rating on this page, though double-check the exact items before a repeat order given the one dispute on record.

Our take: The pick for a single custom patch, a personal embroidery project, or a small batch job, where bigger shops' minimum order quantities get in the way.

#4🕑 Open 7 days

Golden Dragon Store

4.1456 Google reviews

Golden Dragon Store, at People's Park Centre, has operated since 1949 as a handicraft and needlecraft supply shop, stocking yarn, beads, fabrics and embroidery materials rather than offering embroidery as a service. Reviewers describe it as a destination for hobbyists doing their own punch-needle, crochet or embroidery work, with a wide range of imported brands.

What people praise

  • Very wide range of craft and embroidery supplies under one roof
  • Carries specialty imported brands including Japanese needlecraft lines
  • Long-running shop with deep category knowledge among staff
  • Runs workshops for crafters wanting to learn new techniques

Worth knowing

  • Some reviewers note pricing on imported yarns runs higher than buying abroad
  • A supplies shop for DIY crafters, not a service that embroiders items for you

Our take: The right stop if you are doing your own embroidery or needlecraft rather than commissioning it, with the deepest supply range of any shop on this page. Its lower rating next to the service providers reflects a wider spread of hobbyist opinions on pricing, not the quality of goods.

Shevron

4.8156 Google reviews

Shevron, at Ang Mo Kio, is an embroidery and corporate gifting house founded in 2002, building branded gift programmes for companies across banking, hospitality and technology rather than one-off garment orders. It describes itself as running full gifting campaigns from design through fulfilment, not just embroidery on a shirt. Reviewers highlight its detailed craftsmanship on decorative and festive pieces, including recurring Chinese New Year designs.

What people praise

  • Specializes in full corporate gifting programmes, not just single-item embroidery
  • Detailed, sturdy craftsmanship reviewers describe as a step above standard embroidery
  • Recurring seasonal designs, particularly for Chinese New Year, that customers return for annually
  • Two decades of experience in the corporate gifting space

Worth knowing

  • Positioned toward corporate gifting budgets rather than small personal orders

How we score

Every figure here comes from live Google data pulled on the date shown, not opinion or payment. Rating is the shop’s current Google average. Review volume tracks how many customers have actually rated the business, weighed against the other embroidery shops on this page. Confidence combines rating and volume, so a 5.0 built on 250 reviews carries more weight than a 5.0 built on a handful. Recency checks whether people are still reviewing the shop today. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What does embroidery cost in Singapore? (2026)

Embroidery pricing in Singapore depends heavily on order quantity, design complexity and whether it’s a single custom patch or a bulk uniform run, so shops generally quote per project rather than publishing a fixed price list.

Serving all of Singapore

These shops cluster around Midview City, Geylang East, Jalan Sultan, People’s Park and Ang Mo Kio, covering the north, central and downtown parts of the island. Searching for an embroidery shop near me? Every listing below shows a live phone number and address so you can check current hours and minimum order requirements before visiting.

What to ask before you place an order

  • Does the shop have a minimum order quantity, and will it take on a single-item custom job?
  • What is the turnaround time for my order size, and is there a rush option?
  • Can I see a digital proof or sample stitch-out before the full run is produced?
  • Is the price per piece or a flat project quote, and does it change with quantity?
  • What happens if there’s an error on the finished pieces, and is that covered?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these embroidery shops?

We started from every embroidery shop in Singapore with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date, August 2026 on this page. We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Where can I get a single custom patch or small embroidery job done in Singapore?

Stitchsmith and Ark Industries both stand out on this page for accepting small or one-off custom orders that some larger shops decline due to minimum order quantities.

What’s the difference between an embroidery shop and a craft supply store?

Embroidery shops like Ark Industries, EMB3, Stitchsmith and Shevron do the stitching for you. Golden Dragon Store, by contrast, sells yarn, beads and embroidery supplies for people doing the craft themselves.

The bottom line

Ark Industries is the safe default for corporate apparel and embroidery, with the deepest review base and a track record of taking on both bulk and small orders. For a single custom patch, go to Stitchsmith, and for a full branded gifting programme, Shevron’s design-through-fulfilment approach is the specialist route.
