Embroidery Digitizing

Embroidery digitizing is the process of converting artwork, such as logos or designs, into a digital format that can be read by embroidery machines. This process involves using specialized software to interpret the artwork and create a digital embroidery file that contains instructions for the embroidery machine’s needle to stitch the design onto fabric.

The process typically begins with the creation or acquisition of the artwork, which can be in various formats such as JPEG, PNG, or vector graphics files. The digitizer then uses specialized software to manually or automatically convert the artwork into stitches, specifying factors such as stitch type, density, and sequence.

Embroidery digitizing requires skill and attention to detail to ensure that the final embroidery design looks consistent with the original artwork and stitches out correctly on the fabric. Once the digitizing process is complete, the digital embroidery file can be loaded into the embroidery machines, which will then use the instructions to stitch the design onto garments.

Artwork Requirements

Our artwork dept. can work with any graphic file you have. The highest resolution file is recommended to ensure all details of the logo can be visibly determined. All artwork we be digitized to a .DST file for Tajima machines.

Logo Sizes
