We bring passion and precision to every project, stitch + print.

Founded in 2024, Thread Connect re-opened and re-branded Rose’s Embroidery, which was a well-established and loved shop in Grand Rapids, with a simple idea–to make high-quality custom embroidery and screen printing more efficient, more creative, and more connected to the people behind every order.

We’re proud to be a locally owned shop built on craftsmanship and innovation. Our team combines years of industry experience with cutting-edge Tajima embroidery technology to deliver results that look sharp, last long, and represent your brand beautifully.

From local businesses and schools to event organizers and independent makers, we work with clients of all sizes—offering the same care, communication, and attention to detail on every project. Whether it’s a bulk corporate order or a small creative run, our focus is the same: precision stitching, quick turnarounds, and exceptional service from start to finish.

At Thread Connect, we don’t just decorate garments—we help ideas take shape in thread.

Wooden shelf with multiple rows of colorful spools of thread, organized by color from top to bottom, and a yellow chair in front.
