## Workflow: Create New Embroidered Hoodie

### Step 1: Design Embroidery PNGs (@300dpi)

Max 6 thread colors per design. Min text 5mm. Min line 1.5mm.

### Step 2: Upload to Supabase Storage + Printful File Library

```javascript
const result = await pf('/files', {
  method: 'POST',
  body: JSON.stringify({ url: publicUrl, filename: 'placement.png' }),
});
```

### Step 3: Create Sync Product

```javascript
const product = await pf('/store/products', {
  method: 'POST',
  body: JSON.stringify({
    sync_product: {
      name: 'Product Name — SKAPARA Embroidered Hoodie',
      thumbnail: publicUrlChest,
    },
    sync_variants: variants.map(v => ({
      variant_id: v.variant_id,
      retail_price: PRICES[v.size],
      is_enabled: true,
      files: [
        { type: 'embroidery_chest_center', id: chestFileId },
        { type: 'embroidery_wrist_left', id: wristLeftFileId },
        { type: 'embroidery_wrist_right', id: wristRightFileId },
      ],
      options: [
        { id: 'thread_colors_chest_center', value: ['#FFFFFF', '#01784E'] },
        { id: 'thread_colors_wrist_left', value: ['#FFFFFF'] },
        { id: 'thread_colors_wrist_right', value: ['#FFFFFF', '#01784E'] },
      ],
    })),
  }),
});
```

### Step 4: GPSR + Supabase Product + Variants + Mockups

Same pattern as SOL'S 03574 Embroidery. See that skill for full code examples.

```html
<p><strong>Manufacturer:</strong> Printful Inc., Gandijas Dambis 15, Riga, Latvia LV-1045</p>
<p><strong>Material:</strong> 80% organic cotton, 20% recycled polyester (SOL'S 03568)</p>
<p><strong>Technique:</strong> Machine embroidery — polyester thread</p>
<p><strong>Care:</strong> Hand wash cold, inside out. Do not bleach. Air dry. Do not iron on embroidery.</p>
<p><strong>Compliance:</strong> OEKO-TEX Standard 100, REACH</p>
```

## Branding Strategy — Embroidery

- **`embroidery_chest_center`**: SKAPARA logo + text embroidered
- **`embroidery_wrist_left`**: S mark in white thread on dark garments
- **`embroidery_wrist_right`**: Geometric motif or skapara.com text
- **All colors viable**: Thread provides contrast on any garment

## Known Issues

| Issue | Detail | Workaround |
|---|---|---|
| chest_center vs chest_left | Mutually exclusive | Choose ONE per product |
| GPSR endpoint 404 | Returns 404 for embroidery products | Manage GPSR in Supabase directly |
| Printful rejects data URLs | `/files` rejects base64 | Upload to Supabase Storage first |
| thread_colors format | Option ID omits `embroidery_` prefix | Use `thread_colors_chest_center` |
| Ghost mockup response | All placements return same URLs | Extract views from `mockups[0]` |
| Care instructions different | Embroidery: "Hand wash, no iron on embroidery" | NOT same as DTG care |
| Burnt Orange contrast | Warm medium tone — test contrast with both light/dark thread | Generate mockups to verify thread visibility |
| Charcoal Melange | Dark heathered — white/light thread preferred | Heathered texture may affect fine embroidery detail |
| White garment | Light — use dark/black thread only | Avoid white thread on white garment |
