AB Designs Co started with a desk and a little embroidery machine in the middle of our living room. Because of word of mouth and support from so many incredible people we have grown to where we are today, the biggest step yet, our app! We finally have a store front, 10 needle embroidery machines, a direct to garment (DTG) printer, a vinyl cutting machine and many more tools. We are so proud of what we’ve accomplished and hope to continue to learn and grow with you on our journey. Recently, due to popular demand we have included glitter and stainless steel tumblers to our inventory to help meet the needs of our crafting customers and we will continue to listen to what you would like, you are our number one priority. Check out our collections and happy shopping, we love each and every one of you!
