Tubular Embroidery

Embroidery of almost any garment with precise and intricate stitching. Maximum tubular embroidery area of 300 x 400mm allows for standard left chest branding all the way up to intricate designs on bags and the backs of jackets.

Cap Embroidery

Embroider designs directly onto baseball and snapback caps with the Cap Frame Set. With a maximum embroidery area of 360mm x 90mm*, caps can be embroidered on the front and sides with ease.

Shoe Embroidery

Embroider various types of shoes with the Shoe Frame. Personalise any shoe, including football boots, with names, initials or team logos. *Boot spec set-up required for football boot embroidery which required heavier springs and additional machine set up*.

Magnetic Frames

Hoop a wider variety of fabrics with Hoopmaster Mighty Hoop magnetic frames. With extra strong magnets, the Mighty Hoop frames are capable of holding thick fabrics and over garment features such as buttons, zips and velcro.

3D Embroidery

Create bold, raised designs with 3D foam embroidery. By stitching over specialist foam, lettering and logos stand proud of the fabric for a striking, tactile finish — ideal for caps, sportswear and statement branding.

Plush Embroidery

Personalise teddy bears, soft toys and small accessories with dedicated specialist frames. From named keepsake bears to embroidered gifts, the Sprint 8 handles delicate and awkwardly shaped items that standard hoops can't accommodate.

Pocket Embroidery

Add designs directly onto shirt and jacket pockets using the dedicated pocket frame. Finished garments can be branded cleanly without unpicking seams, making it ideal for workwear, uniforms and corporate orders.

Border Frame

Stitch continuous borders and edge designs with the flat border frame. Repeating patterns run seamlessly along the length of the fabric — perfect for table linen, towels, scarves and decorative trims.

Just had my second ZSK machine installed by Dan at Stocks - absolutely amazing service as always from him. Going above and beyond to help me. Thank you so much for everything!

STOCKS 4 LYF!! I've bought 2 embroidery machines from Stocks based on their great price and excellent training. Annette was SO helpful, she was my point of contact for all things embroidery throughout the process. Will definitely be back to buy another multi-head once I outgrow my workshop.

This is the third ZSK machine I've had the pleasure of getting through Stocks and am, as always, really satisfied. I rely on my machines & work them extremely hard and am seriously glad I went this route.

Thank you to the team at Stocks for the hassle-free purchase of our recent ZSK 6 Head embroidery machine. Andrew and the team were very accommodating and installed the machine with ease. I'm sure we'll be back very soon for more machines!

Stocks are an excellent company to deal with, especially if you are unsure of what is most suitable for your requirements. From your initial enquiry to installation by their engineer, you get superb advice, great customer service and fair prices. I've bought both a sewing machine and a ZSK embroidery machine and couldn't be happier with my whole customer experience.

Stocks were very informative in my transition between the PR and ZSK, and are always willing to help me in any way possible, however stupid the question seems. Pleasure to deal with both Andrew and Jenny and would highly recommend Stocks.

Bought my second machine from Stocks and had it installed last week. I can't speak highly enough of the ZSK machines - we run ours morning, noon and night and they just take it in their stride.

Exceptional Service. Andrew and the team took the time to fully demo and explain a used machine. Paul oversaw the installation and training perfectly and the machine has been running flat out in production ever since. Very pleased.

We had a 'unique' entryway to get our machine in. They don't bend very easily - especially when German built! Stocks did a sterling job making sure it would fit and then installed it. The training was superb as well - Thank you to Dan!
