What Is Embroidery Digitizing?

Digitizing is the process of converting artwork into a stitch file that can be read by an embroidery machine and interpreted as different stitch types. There is no graphic software program compatible with embroidery software therefore the design must be converted by hand which is done in-house.

The digitizer must analyze the artwork to see if it should be edited for embroidery. Not all logos that were designed for a print media such as a business card will work well for embroidery. Many designs need to be simplified. In addition to correctly sizing a logo, some elements such as outlining may need to be eliminated and small text may need to be enlarged or deleted.

The final size of the design can be increased or decreased by a few inches. Colors can be changed at anytime without any additional fees.

Once a design has been digitized it can be used over and over on any garment, hat, bag etc.
