Embroidery digitizing involves using a personal computer, an embroidery sewing machine, and a special digitizing software application. Using digitizing software install on your personal computer, you can transfer a design into one which can be embroidered.
Once you have your basic design digitized, you then have to spend time with the special software tools tweaking out the design so that it will look good once your embroidery digitizing machine embroiders it. To be successful with embroidery digitizing software you must be an experienced sewer and knowledgeable of the various types of fabrics on the market. You should be able to digitize on your computer screen by being able to control scaling, match components to the onscreen grids, zoom in and zoom out, and pan from one area of a design to another. Another important thing you want to have in your digitizing software is the ability to see the true thread colors both on your computer monitor and on your color printer.
As you can see, computer digitized embroidery is not a simple process. With a little practice and experience you can fine tune your skills to create beautiful embroidery designs.
