New Embroidery Machine

Rockwest is happy to announce the addition of a Tajima, 2-head embroidery machine to the Embroidery Department. This machine is an older model but is a top of the line brand. It runs smoothly and is a great addition to our other machine. We are now more capable to keep up with higher volume orders.

Rockwest has also added a heat press for vinyl transfers to the Screen Printing Department. This will give our customers more options when ordering custom apparel.
