Printing tip

Stitch marks are short, so print at 3 cm (1.2 in) or larger and avoid embroidering the code unless a sample scans first.

Static code: it never expires, but the link can't change after printing. Need edits or scan counts? Make a dynamic code.

Can I embroider this code on fabric?+

You can, but test a sample carefully, as thread texture changes contrast. Printed versions are the most reliable.

Is the stitches QR code free for commercial use?+

Yes, with no watermark and no sign-up. It is a static code, so it never expires, but the link cannot be edited after printing.
