# Threads Embroidery
Threads Embroidery specialises in bespoke embroidered martial arts belts, serving martial artists, dojos, and instructors throughout the UK. Established over thirty years ago in Shropshire by Julie and Harry Shaw, the business has been independently owned and operated by Barrie North since 2019, demonstrating resilience during a period when many competitors have closed.
The business distinguishes itself through several key strengths. They maintain their own extensive stock of high-quality black belts in multiple sizes (160–360cm), three quality grades (Standard, Superior, and Ultimate), and two fabric options (cotton and silk). This inventory ensures rapid turnaround times for customised orders. Their expertise extends beyond embroidery; they offer professional translation services into Korean Hangol and Japanese Katakana, plus design digitising to convert customer artwork into embroidery-ready formats.
What truly sets Threads Embroidery apart is their commitment to value and community support. They've maintained stable pricing for nearly three years and recently introduced personalised presentation boxes to complement belt orders—elevating the experience of significant martial arts achievements. Importantly, they offer substantial dojo discounts (12.5% for new customers, 25% for regulars), enabling instructors and clubs to provide quality embroidered belts to students affordably.
Their portfolio includes prestigious commissions, such as an honorary black belt presented to HRH The Princess Royal at the British Judo Association Centre of Excellence opening. With direct access to the owner via phone and email, customers receive expert advice and personalised service throughout the ordering process.
