Custom digitizing
What
is Custom Digitizing?
Digitizing your art for embroidery requires a few things, embroidery software, an educated designer/digitizer, and clean artwork to work with. The embroidery software allows one to recreate the artwork into an embroidery file for an embroidery machine to read. Essentially, it is creating the stitch points, color changes, trims and stitch values to be sewn onto the garment or substrate. While printing and silk screening is a flat, two dimensional media, embroidery is a three dimensional embellishment that requires the artwork to be digitized in a language that a sewing machine can read and understand.
The need for clean artwork is necessary for the digitizer to recreate the design as close to the original art as possible. The better the artwork is, the better your design will turn out. Once the design is digitized and the embroidery file is created, it can be edited for different fabrics, and sewn as it is needed. That is why it is to every ones advantage to get the cleanest artwork possible to achieve the right results involved with this step of the embroidery process.
Embroidery designs are scalable, but only to a certain point, usually about 5%-10% depending on the elements of the design itself. For example, if you have your design digitized at 3" tall for a left chest design, scaling to a jacket back size would likely destroy the design as stitch lengths and stitch values would be altered to such a degree that it would virtually ruin the design and/or garment. The same goes for scaling a design down from a larger size, as stitch lengths would tend to decrease and densities would not be correct for that size of design. It is recommended that you purchase the designs that suit your embroidery needs, and that will help us achieve quality results for you.
Q&A:
Q: Will my design need to be digitized for every order?
A: No, once we have your design on file, we can use it over and over again for any re-orders you may have in the future. Worst case scenario your design may need to be scaled or edited to suit the fabric or garment you choose.
Q: Why can’t we use the same design for my caps or shirts for a full size jacket back (or vice-versa)?
A: Embroidery designs require the proper stitch values to sew correctly on our equipment. If your design needs to be larger, it should be digitized for the larger size, the same as the smaller size has the correct values to sew properly for that embellishment.
Q: Can you digitize a copyrighted logo?
A: In most cases NO. This can only be done if I have the Copyright holders WRITTEN PERMISSION. I can Not do Professional Sports logo's either.
Q: I have a business card with my design on it, is that clean enough artwork?
A: Every design has its own challenges when it comes to creating your embroidery. Sometimes simple graphics can be achieved from the smaller artwork, but detailed designs and lettering need to be very clear and crisp in order for the digitizer to reproduce the artwork as close as possible to the original. Smaller artwork tends to be very unclear when scaled up to a larger size for the digitizing process, losing its crispness and clarity needed for creating a sharp embroidery design. A basic rule of thumb for lettering is:
IF YOU CAN'T WRITE IT LEGIBLY WITH A CRAYON, IT CAN'T BE DIGITIZED AT THAT SIZE.
Q: I don't have any artwork, but I have an idea sketched out on paper, can you work from that?
A: Depending on the actual needs the design has, it would likely have to be sent to a graphic artist to create the clear art for us to work with.
Q: I have a sticker that I want reproduced onto 1 hat, can that be done?
A: Yes, it can be done but the digitizing will most likely cost you more than the hat.
