What is Embroidery?

Custom Embroidery means that your logo or artwork is stitched onto a garment of your choice. This can only happen once the full digitise process above is complete. The digitise artwork tells the computerised embroidery machines how many stitches to use in a design, how many colours are used in a design and what size the design should be.

The first time a job is run, we need to digitise the artwork to prepare for the embroidery process.

Digitising - The cost of setting up a digitised design is based on the number of stitches in the finished file. There is a one-off charge, payable even if no garments are subsequently ordered.

The process of taking artwork from any source, including your original drawings, and turning it into a language that a computerised embroidery machine can translate into stitches. How you put your design together using various colour selections and stitch styles is what makes digitising both a science and an art. When you purchase a design card, disk or CD you are paying for the design itself and for the complex process of digitising this design. If you love a challenge or want to stitch out custom logos or your own designs as part of a home business, you'll need to learn digitising.
