Give Your Customer A Sample Sew Out on Embroidery Digitizing.

Embroidery digitizing company provide clients with full sewing samples of embroidery designs. This is a very important step in the embroidery production process, before actually embroidering a design onto your client's finished garment.

I've found that most embroiderers, when creating their embroidery designs, sew a sample on a square of backing fabric and give this to the client for approval. You really don't know what the actual design of the finished product will look like. The settings for each type of fabric need to be adjusted correctly to get the best results on that fabric.

It's not always possible to have the exact same fabric, but some fabrics can serve as good substitutes. T-shirt fabrics are great for jersey front shirts, the back of sweatshirts is a good substitute for lightweight fleece fabrics, and old worn-out bed sheets are a good substitute for dress shirts or handkerchiefs. If you use your imagination, you can come up with a lot of close matches that are sure to work when you create embroidery design sewing samples.

A great source of these types of fabrics are your family's discarded old clothes. I cut squares of various sizes from old or unwanted clothing and store them in plastic boxes that I label: T-Shirt Fabric, Sweatshirt Fabric, Wind Shirt Fabric, Terry Cloth, Dress Shirt Fabric and heavyweight woven fabrics. These fabric squares are handy when new sewing samples are needed.

Another good source for cheap clothing that I've found is at Goodwill or The Salvation Army stores. I need some leather to sew samples on and don't have any on hand. I found a jacket at the Goodwill store with the inner lining ripped off. It didn't sell so I was able to get it for $5.00. I make a lot of sewing out of a jacket.

You also want to choose the fabric color that is closest to what your client will be using. If this is not possible, use light or neutral colored fabrics, or darker fabrics for darker garments. Create your embroidery designs to sew samples in the correct colors your customers will use.

Provide your client with a complete embroidery design, sew samples on the correct type of fabric in the correct color, show him or her exactly how the embroidery will look on the finished garment, and instill in them a level of confidence that you are Know exactly what you're doing as a professional.
