Published on Aug 21, 2021

Embroidery is an activity that was once just considered just a hobby or a skill, is now widely used in various industries for a range of different purposes. This activity has become increasingly popular which has led to the technological advancement of creating embroidery designs through embroidery machines. However, unlike printing, creating embroidery designs using a machine is only possible with the conversion of an image into a file interpretable by the embroidery machine through the process of embroidery digitizing.

What is an Embroidery Digitizing Service?

If you are confused about how to digitize for embroidery, then the simplest solution to your problem is a digitizing service. Since embroidered apparel and clothing is extremely popular among a broad range of businesses and organizations for promotional purposes, several companies have sprung up that offer digitizing-related services. Based on your requirements, you can choose from the following types of digitizing services:

• Logo digitizing • T-shirt monogram digitizing • 3D puff digitizing • Applique digitizing • PNG to embroidery digitizing • Conversion of an image into an embroidery pattern • JPG to embroidery digitizing conversion

A lot of embroidery digitizing services convert the images that you provide (in any format) to files that are readable by the embroidery machines. Contrary to popular belief, the process is not simple and requires the use of software for the conversion.

Online Embroidery Digitizing

Over the years, embroidery digitizing has evolved to the extent that digitization services are now offered online too. online embroidery digitizing is convenient and time-saving. With an online digitizer, you just have to provide your details, the design you are planning to digitize, and other requirements. Any kind of file can be transferred to the digitizers, whether in JPG, PNG, or PDF formats.
Some online digitizing services even offer the facility of drawing your logo on your own, or with a professional designer and providing it to the service.

The Process of Embroidery Digitizing

Custom embroidery digitizing involves the conversion of artwork, text, or graphics, or any kind of design into an embroidery file. This is required for the embroidery machine which cannot interpret image files. Digitizers convert your design (logo, artwork, photo, illustrations, etc.) into particular commands that the machine can interpret. The embroidery digitizing services uses specific software for this purpose. The process is quite complicated since the digitizer has to take into account the dimensions of the design, the type of fabric being used, and other factors based on which the digitizer makes the required modifications to create a flawless design. What makes digitizing embroidery even more complicated is the fact that each type of machine has its digitizing software. Take the example of the Tajima machine which requires specific software that creates files interpretable by the Tajima machine only. However, there are several software that creates the more universal kind of files such as the DST file which can be interpreted by most of the embroidery machines. There are several advantages of embroidery digitizing, especially because both the design production and the embroidery process are not very expensive.
