Parochet Production Process

Congratulations for commissioning MyParochet to design your Parochet. 

Let me guide you through the process involved in bringing your dream Parochet to life. The turnaround time is usually between 4-6 months.

Here the process in quick 

  • We will send you an invoice for a deposit ⅓.

  • As soon as we see the funds reflected in our account, we'll schedule a Zoom meeting to discuss your ideas and consolidate a design concept.

  • We will spend some time emailing renders back and forth until you're 100% thrilled with the final design.

  • We will ask you for another deposit ⅓. 

  • We will review the fabrics and threads to be used pre-production.

  • Then we will move on to production - fabric/thread purchases, digitizing, embroidery and sewing.

  • We will email you a photo when your Parochet is ready.

  • At this point we will ask for the balance ⅓ and shipping.

  • And then we will ship!

For a more depth explanation please see below our work process 

Step 1: Initial intake   

Our team is dedicated to creating a unique and customized design that perfectly encapsulates the essence of your shul. Understanding the background and significance of your shul is crucial for us to bring your vision to life. We like it when you share with us the story behind your shul and what it symbolizes. Moreover, providing us with photographs of the interior, aron kodesh, stained glass windows, carpets, floors, and any other artistic features will greatly aid our creative process. These images will grant us invaluable insights into your space and enable us to harmonize the colors of the parochet with its surroundings which is what we specialize in.

From my website collection, we can customize the colors, posuk and dedication text of your parochet to make it synchronize with its surroundings. 

At this juncture, we would schedule a zoom meeting to discuss your ideas to form the concept.  Once the concept is established we would send you a detailed quote and need to receive one third of the payment. 

Step 2: Design

In order to proceed we will need dimensions from you. Please see https://www.myparochet.com/blog/how-to-measure-parochet-aron-kodesh for full instructions on how to measure parochet.  

Now that we have your design in mind and dimensions we will be in touch with our talented graphic designer to prepare the first render. Please bear in mind that the duration of this process may vary depending on the complexity of your project and the number of revisions required. We will not proceed until you are fully satisfied.

At this juncture, we will be requesting a second installment.

Step 3: Digitizing

Your design is now ready - we now need to prepare it for the embroiderer. This crucial step involves sending the graphics to a skilled digitizer, who will transform the artwork into precise instructions for the embroiderer to follow. By doing so, we can ensure that every intricate detail of your design is captured flawlessly, from the selection of fabrics to the intricate arrangement of threads. Each stitch will be carefully mapped out, guiding the embroiderer to transform your vision into a true masterpiece that will surely leave a lasting impression.

Step 4: Fabric and thread

We will now put together the fabrics and threads needed to complete your masterpiece and send them out to our embroiderer with the instructions from the digitizer. 

Step 5: Embroidery

The production process is in full swing … now our embroiderers need to get to work. The instructions from the digitizer provide them with information on the sequence of the stitches and which colors to use. We always request pictures of the progress of our embroiderers, which is always exciting to see, and also helps to avoid any mistakes.

Step 6: Sewing  

Once we are content with our embroiderers' work (which may necessitate a few changes) and we have received your paroches in our studio we will dispatch the paroches for sewing. 

Your paroches is practically finished now and we will be requiring the last payment. 

Step 7: Packing and Shipping

Wow wow! We have come to the point of packing and sending out your masterpiece!
