Frequently Asked Questions About Embroidery Digitizing
Get answers to common questions about our professional digitizing services
What is embroidery digitizing and why do I need it?
Embroidery digitizing is the process of converting your artwork, logo, or design into a digital file that embroidery machines can read and stitch. Your embroidery machine cannot directly use image files like JPG, PNG, or PDF - it needs specialized formats like DST, PES, or JEF files that contain precise stitch instructions.
Without proper digitizing, your embroidery machine won't know where to place each stitch, what color to use, or how to create the design. Professional digitizing ensures your design stitches out perfectly with optimal thread usage and minimal fabric puckering.
What file formats do you provide for embroidery digitizing?
We provide all major embroidery file formats including:
- DST - Tajima/Brother commercial machines
- PES - Brother home embroidery machines
- JEF - Janome embroidery machines
- EXP - Melco commercial machines
- VP3 - Husqvarna Viking machines
- XXX - Singer embroidery machines
- ART - Bernina embroidery machines
Simply let us know your machine brand and model, and we'll provide the correct format for your specific embroidery machine.
How long does embroidery digitizing take?
Our standard turnaround time is 24 hours for most designs. Rush orders can be completed in as little as 4-8 hours for an additional fee.
Complex designs with many colors or intricate details may take 24-48 hours. We always communicate the expected delivery time when you place your order.
We also offer express services for urgent projects - just let us know your deadline and we'll accommodate your timeline.
What types of designs can you digitize for embroidery?
We can digitize virtually any design for embroidery, including:
- Company logos - Perfect for uniforms and promotional items
- Text and lettering - Names, monograms, and custom text
- Artwork and illustrations - Custom designs and graphics
- Sports team logos - Team uniforms and fan merchandise
- Patches and badges - Military, police, and organizational patches
- Decorative designs - Floral patterns and ornamental elements
We work with all file types including vector files (AI, EPS, SVG), raster images (JPG, PNG, BMP), and even hand-drawn sketches.
How much does embroidery digitizing cost?
Our embroidery digitizing prices start at just $10 and are based on design complexity:
- Small designs (up to 4"): $10-$25 - Perfect for left chest logos
- Medium designs (4"-8"): $25-$50 - Great for detailed logos and jacket backs
- Large designs (8"+): Custom quote - Full back designs and complex artwork
Factors that affect pricing include the number of colors, design complexity, stitch count, and turnaround time. We offer volume discounts for multiple designs and special pricing for Circle Program members.
What information do you need to digitize my design?
To provide the best digitizing service, we need:
- Your artwork - High-resolution image or vector file
- Desired size - Width and height in inches
- Fabric type - Cotton, polyester, denim, etc.
- Machine format - Your embroidery machine brand and model
- Color preferences - Specific thread colors or general guidance
- Special requirements - Any specific instructions or preferences
Don't worry if you don't have all this information - our team will guide you through the process and make recommendations based on your needs.
Do you offer revisions if I'm not satisfied with the digitizing?
Yes! We offer unlimited free revisions until you're completely satisfied with your digitized design. Customer satisfaction is our top priority.
If you need adjustments to stitch density, colors, size, or any other aspect of the design, simply let us know what changes you'd like, and we'll revise it at no additional cost.
We also provide a test stitch file so you can see exactly how your design will look before finalizing the order.
Can you digitize designs for caps and curved surfaces?
Absolutely! We specialize in cap embroidery digitizing with proper stitch angles and density optimization for curved surfaces. Our cap digitizing includes:
- Proper stitch angles - Optimized for curved cap surfaces
- Reduced density - Prevents puckering on curved fabric
- Underlay optimization - Ensures design stability
- Size adjustments - Compensates for surface curvature
We also digitize for other curved surfaces like bags, hats, and specialty items. Just let us know the specific application.
What's the difference between embroidery digitizing and vector conversion?
While both involve converting artwork, they serve different purposes:
- Vector conversion creates scalable graphics for printing, cutting, or general use
- Embroidery digitizing creates stitch-by-stitch instructions for embroidery machines
Embroidery digitizing is much more complex because it must consider:
- Stitch types (satin, fill, running)
- Stitch direction and density
- Thread tension and fabric pull
- Underlay and stabilization
- Machine-specific format requirements
That's why professional digitizing requires specialized software and expertise.
