What Is Digitizing?
Embroidery Digitizing is the process used to turn your graphic logo into a file that directs the
operation of our commercial embroidery machines. Our staff digitizers use special software
that generates the codes our Embroidery machines can read and translate to things like,
Needle up, Needle Down, Change color, Trim thread, Move up, Move down, Sew Filled area,
Sew text, Sew underlay etc. Everything the Embroidery machines DO, the digitizer has
programmed within the design of your logo. Even thickness of letters, spacing, direction of
thread stitches is all done exactly through computer programming.
For best results, it all starts with clean and high resolution images. Sometimes we can work
with photographs, but prefer clean graphic art when possible. 300dpi or greater is best and
1200 pixels wide is also suggested. We generally say 4X the original size of the finished
product is helpful. What we basically do is use your graphic as our pattern and lay the stitches
over that image..so fuzzy lines mean hard to see lines and you may not get what you had
envisioned.
Digitizing is really an art form – we are actually “painting” your logo with individual stitches just
as a painter does with brush strokes. As a result, you will get different versions of your logo
with every embroidery digitizer you might use.
