Long before the creation of All Custom Embroidery, Charlotte Duncan worked as a teacher assisting students in learning essential job skills. She had always been interested in screen printing and embroidery—producing beautiful things with her own hands.

During one of the many fund raising school projects Charlotte was involved in, she endeavored to find a company to create low-cost, screen-printed T-shirts on behalf of her students. Most companies were over priced and did not attempt to be competitive, not even for a school fund raiser for special needs children. More and more, the projects turned into bigger ideas and thus began her plans to pursue them.

After retiring from teaching, Charlotte Duncan and a close friend, Christy Julian, began formulating ideas and began acquiring machines to produce screen printing and an embroidery machine for various materials. In March of 2008, All Custom Embroidery was created by both, Charlotte and Christy—a local Kentucky business, owned by women with strong ideals about good prices and great service.

In 2010 their crew has grown to include family and friends, with the addition of Donnie Duncan, Charlotte's husband, and Jim Burdine a long time family friend. In 2015, All Custom Embroidery expanded embroidery machines from 4 heads to 18 sewing heads, increased our staff from 2 to 6, with the additions of Elizabeth Alvarez, Sofia Rojas, Gilma Rubio and Jim's wife Sally Burdine.

On one occasion, Charlotte was overheard saying: “All Custom Embroidery doesn’t just mean it’s name, it also stands for affordable, competitive, and experienced!” It is something their company not only stands for, but believes.
