Quick Turnaround Embroidery Digitizing Services in Dallas is the process of turning an art piece into a stitch file that can be read by an embroidery machine and deciphered into various types of stitches. It is a complex process that requires specific embroidery software, specialized knowledge of digitizing techniques and a skilled professional to do it correctly.
What is the difference between digitizing and digitalizing?
A digitizer can create a logo or other design in many formats depending on the needs of the project. For example, if the embroidery is to be used on a wide variety of products, it’s usually a good idea to have the digitizer generate multiple file formats for different embroidery machines. This way, the final product will be compatible with all of the embroidery machines that will be stitching it.
The digitizer will also consider the fabric – how the design will look when stitched on a particular type of material. This includes the texture and the “push and pull” of a particular fabric. For example, a design digitized for polar fleece may not look as good on pique denim if the lines sink into the texture.
Finally, the digitizer will assign the embroidery stitch types to each area of the design. This can include run, satin and fill stitch. Run stitches are the thinnest threads and are generally used for small details, thin borders and text. Satin stitch is a loosely compacted stitch that’s used for most of the rest of the design and fill stitches are tightly packed outlines.
