Questions??
We have tried to answer them all here to help you
feel comfortable before placing your order. Because we are not a general
embroidery company, and only embroider special gifts, we have become
the best at what we do. Our throws are the perfect accent for the
rocker in a sunroom, snuggling up by a cozy fire on a cold winter
night, or folded at the foot of a guest bed. They are the perfect
size as a bedspread for a twin size bed, great for a dorm room or
a motor home. Production and Shipping
Most personalized orders are processed and shipped
within three to five business days of receipt of the order. Processing time
does not include weekends or holiday. Mountain time Orders are shipped on business
days only, and orders received on weekends will be processed the
following Monday.
While all orders receive priority handling in our shop, we understand that ocassionally there is an instance when you must have something shipped out sooner than our normal 3 to 5 day production. When you find yourself in that situation, we offer a RUSH SERVICE. There is an additional charge for this service that will vary with the time of the year and must be quoted individually. However, please make sure you allow for shipping time to meet your delivery needs. If you prefer, we can ship directly to your client, enclosing a gift card from you. Please indicate this need in the "Special Instructions" box as you check out. As usual, each gift will be tied with a big gold bow, wrapped in tissue safely tucked in the shipping carton.
Embroidery
All Fashions by Fran products are embroidered
one at a time for you with great care and attention to the smallest
of details. Your designs are programmed, spaced and aligned using
the names and dates that you have provided on the order form.
The designs have been presented to you with thread
color choices that are also programmed at this time. The thread
colors for our designs have been chosen to give you the best look
for your embroidered product. After your order is embroidered it
is trimmed, cleaned of backing and special topping materials. Sometimes
you will see tiny pieces of a clear plastic looking layer that did
not come completely off during the final inspection. This product
is water-soluble and will disappear with the first laundering. It
will also just tend to disappear as the afghan or towel is used.

The final step for your items is packaging. Each afghan is folded,
rolled and tied with a big gold bow. Gift baskets are shrink wrapped
and tied with a bow.
Name Layout
Different designs will allow for a different
number of letters within the name area. Generally, shorter names
provide a better overall look; so consider using just the first
and last name on an individual blanket (leaving out the middle name).
On family blankets, try using "The Johnson Family" instead
of "Allan and Barbara Johnson." The lettering will be
larger and show better in the first choice. We will always use the
full spelling of the month (September 17, 1999) instead of abbreviating
it to 9/17/99. We feel this gives your gift a more treasured "keepsake"
look.
Monogram Layout
The standard positioning for monograms for individual
names is with the last name initial in the center and larger. The
first and middle initials are on either side of the last initial.
The finished look for "Amanda Lee Johnson" would be: "A J L."
Likewise, the same format for a couple's monogram would be with
the couple's last name initial in the center and each person's first
name initial on each side. "Allan and Barbara Johnson"
would become A J B.".
We will embroider the initials however you provide them on the order
form, so please call if you are unclear as to how you would like
them to be positioned.
Laundering
All of our afghans, both white and natural, are
100% cotton. We use only the highest quality embroidery threads
that will ensure a lifetime of beautiful shine and durability for
your gifts. We recommend that they are gently machine washed in
warm water and line dried. However a cool, gentle cycle on the dryer
will not harm your items.
DO NOT use bleach. Dry cleaning is not necessary. Each afghan
comes with a care label attached before shipping so that your recipient
will know how to care for their new gift. All of our throws and
baby blankets are made in the U.S.A.
