The Art of Embroidery Digitizing

Dgitizing is the art of taking a drawing, design, graphic or picture and turning it to an exact or very close copy of embroidery that’s usually done on cloth-but also can be put on other materials.

The embroidery digitizing takes place when the original artwork – a drawing, design, graphic or picture is scanned in digitizing software to convert it into a digital file that will finally be used by the automatic sewing machine. Once the original is scanned with the digitizing software, the operator has to manipulate the image in the embroidery digitizing software to instruct the embroidery machine how to sew the stitches. The image is then processed through the software to the many stitches necessary to embroider the image.
