Live embroidery and engraving,
without the clipboard.

Whether you are stitching hats at a wedding or engraving tumblers at a market, guests scan a code, design their own piece, and watch a screen for their number. You keep your hands on the machine.

No card needed. Set up in an afternoon.

One order — hat, tumbler, patch, whatever you make — from a guest’s phone to your queue to the board on the wall.

Try the live demo

Built at a real booth

Every piece of this came from a problem we hit with a line of people waiting.

Guests order themselves

They scan a QR code, pick a blank, build the design, and see it on the product before they commit. No clipboard, no shouting over a crowd.

Nobody takes the last one twice

Choosing a blank holds it for four minutes. Every other phone sees the count drop instantly, so two guests never claim the same one.

A queue your hands can use

Big type, three buttons. Start, mark ready, picked up. Readable at arm’s length while you are still holding a hat.

A screen that answers the question

Put the board on a TV and stop being asked “is mine done yet.” Names light up when they are ready.

Wears the client’s brand

Logo, colours and welcome message per event. The guest sees the host’s brand, not ours.

Take the money, or don’t

Charge through Square at a market. Switch payment off when the host has already paid for the activation.

Your next event could run itself.

Set up your blanks, print the QR code, and show up. Free for two weeks, long enough to take it to a real market.
