Willowtree Embroidery

We are the premiere Custom Embroidery Surgical Cap Solution. CraniCaps was started in 1996 in Parkville, Maryland; like so many before I was working in the operating room at the University of Maryland Medical Center. I had purchased a lot of hats from friends who were selling them but I could never find that fabric that made me say “That’s me”. My wife (Mary) showed me how to how to cut a pattern and sew a cap together before I knew it people were asking me for hats. It started with a few hats and some extra money for espresso. Then the requests started to increase. I started to think, how I could ramp it up a bit so I purchased a home embroidery machine at Bears Paws in Towson Maryland from a great lady named Spanky. Spanky tutored me to the world of embroidery and I produced my 1st embroidered surgical cap which I dubbed CraniCap. I could not have imagined the results, the orders kept progressing and it was more than my little Bernina could take, so a decision had to be made slow down or JUMP. Needless to say, I jumped into commercial embroidery machines.
