Embroidery Digitizing
Embroidery digitizing service for logos that sew clean
We rebuild your logo or artwork as a stitch file for your machine, digitized for the size, placement and fabric you need.
Packages from$4.99
Overview
Turning artwork into stitches
Embroidery digitizing rebuilds artwork as a sequence of stitches: stitch types, direction, density, underlay and color order. A machine cannot sew a JPG or PNG; it needs a dedicated stitch file.
Tell us the design size, the placement (for example left chest, cap front or jacket back) and the fabric if you know it. We digitize for those details and deliver the file in your machine format by email.
Small text, fine lines and very detailed artwork may need simplifying to sew cleanly. If that applies to your design, we will let you know before we start.
Our files are made for embroidery shops, print shops and brands that sew on their own machines or send the file to their embroiderer. Every order comes with a PDF showing the stitch details and thread colors, so whoever runs the machine can check the design before sewing.
