8 Factors That Affect Custom Embroidery Digitizing

Embroidery digitizing is a process of converting artwork into a machine-readable format. The technical and highly creative process starts with modifying complex images so that they can all be used for embroidery. Decisions need to be made about the path of the design, which determines how it will appear on clothing.

Stitches assignment

The next step is to assign stitches according to the design. The first step starts with the backing stitches, which are not visible in the final design or logo, but are important for a flawless finished look. The bottom layer helps maintain the fabric and provides a base for the upper layer of stitches on the fabric, giving it a smoother finish and increased density. The fabric underneath the design is visible if proper padding is not used. There are three types of stitches, run, satin and fill. The digitizer will make sure he is fully prepared for the pull and push of the embroidery and adjust accordingly for the best results in the final machine work of the fabric.

Save design

The final step after embroidering a design is to save the design in an internal file format. Since the embroidery machine and design software have different languages, the digitizer needs to create a copy for the embroidery machine to read and understand.
