You need an embroidering machine, they're very pricy. I was lucky my school had one. All I had to do was create a jpeg of my logo and my foods teacher put it into the machine's software and presto! I had a logo!

You could do it yourself, but it's a difficult process requiring accuracy and thourough stitchwork.

You could use fabric paint to make logos on your hoodies. I draw or print off the logo I want then trace it onto that clear plastic stencil stuff and cut it out with a exacto-knife. You then have a reusable homemade stencil. Tape the stencil to the hoodie and use fabric paint to paint it in. Use a sponge and like tap the fabric with it instead of a paintbrush and then let it dry. You can use freezer paper to cut out your stencil on but then its not reusable. Heres a video of it too... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfTn8wm-o2Y. Hope it helps.

Also if i were to use fabric paint to put a logo on, how well would it last?

What she did was she simply cut out fabric and sewed it on top. It's a nice easy alternative to embroidering.

Not sure, never tried it. You'll just have to take a chance. If you had the resources to silkscreen that can last a while.

Alright thanks again.+k. I have a friend who has access to a vinyl heat press thing and it seems to be pretty professional
