About Club Chainstitch
We believe in doing things by hand.
Our products are embroidered one at a time on a vintage chainstitch machine, stitched the old fashioned way.
Each piece is embroidered to order, creating something that's meant to be worn and loved for years and years.
Stitched slow, loved forever.
Every order is embroidered individually on a vintage chainstitch embroidery machine (shes's 100 years old!).
Unlike mass-produced embroidery, chainstitch embroidery is completely freehand. No computers or automation. No mass production. Just the vintage machine and the maker's hands guiding it. The result is a hand made, vintage vibe that's one of a kind.
Because each order is embroidered one at a time, no two pieces are exactly alike.
Why is Chainstitch Embroidery So Special?
In a world of mass production, we love making things the slower way.
Every Club Chainstitch piece is embroidered on an antique chainstitch machine that's nearly a century old. Each stitch is formed in a continuous loop, creating the signature textured look that makes chainstitch embroidery so distinctive.
The process takes time, but it's that slower, hands-on approach that gives every piece its character. No two are exactly alike.
Each piece is embroidered one at a time, made with care, and worth the wait.

Meet the Maker
Hi, I'm Annie.
I'm the owner and maker behind Club Chainstitch.
Every piece you see here is embroidered by me on a vintage chainstitch machine in my Chicago studio.
I started Club Chainstitch because I wanted to create things people would actually wear and love for years, not just for a season. Knowing my work becomes part of your everyday moments is something I'll never take for granted.
Thank you for supporting my small business and allowing me to create something special for you.
