It’s All About Embroidery Digitizing

Embroidery digitizing is the process of creating a software pattern to be used on embroidery machines. In traditional embroidery machines, the design is created using a variety of types of embroidery stitches and colors in order to create individualized designs.

Editing: Changing aspects of the design through computerized editing capabilities. Most features or programs allow the user to scale the design up and down, edit block by block or pin by pin, then merge letters with the design, move aspects of the design, and insert or edit the machine's commands.

Emblem: Other names for badges are "badge" or "patch." The finished edge of the embroidery design, usually the mark of the logo, was usually worn on the outerwear and, most importantly, historically the logo always carried a motto, verse or implied moral lesson.

Embroidery: It refers here to machine embroidery, or more specifically, computerized machine embroidery. This is a computer-controlled process for embroidery machines to create patterns on textiles. It is used for commercial product branding, corporate advertising and uniform decoration. There are many hobbyists who also do some machine embroidery for personal sewing and craft projects. Today, most modern or digital embroidery machines are equipped with computers designed specifically for embroidery.

These machines range from single-needle, single-head sewing machines and hobbyists for home or personal use, to commercial and industrial embroidery machines with multiple heads (commonly 6 to 20) and multiple needles under each head (commonly 9 to 15), depending on their function and purpose. They all have a framing system that pulls the frame area of the fabric taut under a sewing needle and allows it to move to design according to a pre-programmed digital document prepared by the hole punch.

Extended format: It is a design program or feature in which individual stitches in the design have been precisely digitized to a specific size. Designs digitized in this format generally cannot be enlarged or slightly higher than 10 to 20 percent without distortion because the number of stitches remains the same.

File format: The most important part of embroidery digitization is embroidery file format, which can be roughly divided into two categories. (1) Source format: It is specific to the software used to create the design, for which the punch retains the original file for editing. (2) Machine format: It is specific to a particular brand of machine embroidery, and these machine formats usually contain splicing data (offset) and machine functions (trim, jump, etc.) that are not easy to scale or edit without a lot of manual work.

Filler stitch or fill: Another name for filler stitch is tatami stitch. Generally large design areas or broad design areas covered by a series of running stitches whose patterns may vary in stitch length, Angle, and density.

Frame: It can use a variety of means to maintain stability during the embroidery process, including clamps, magnets or springs, vacuum devices. It holds a device for inserting goods under the embroidery head.

Lettering: There are several uses for letters or words in the digitization of embroidery. Lettering, often called "keyboard lettering," is created by using an embroidery lettering program on a PC that allows for variations in the style, size, height, density, and other characteristics of the letters.

Lock stitch: Another name is "lock" or "secure" stitch. Locking stitches are formed by three or four consecutive stitches with at least 10 points of motion. It should be used at the end of all fills, columns, and any elements in the design that must follow the jumper, such as color changes or finishing of the design. Lock stitch can be sewn into star, triangle or straight stitch. Locking stitch is also the name for the kind of stitch formed by the crochet of a home sewing machine, or you might say a computerized embroidery machine.

Logo: It is a symbol or graphic symbol commonly used by organizations, offices or companies, or even individuals, to assist and promote immediate public recognition. Logos can be entirely graphic ICONS or symbols, or simply the name of a company or organization or a combination of both.

Variable size: This is used to scale the design to various sizes.

The finishing touches of embroidery digitizing

Finishing: Once embroidery is complete, a number of processes must be performed, including trimming loose threads, cutting or ripping off excess backing, cleaning any stains, removing toppings, packaging for sale or shipping, and pressing or steaming to remove wrinkles or hoop marks.

Underlay: Underlay is an important part of the digitizing of embroidery. And embroidery digital operation is very much. Applied before other design elements A) stitching to create special design effects such as depth and dimension; B) Neutralizing fabric surface characteristics.

Zigzag: The stitches are made by alternating angles (z-z); Usually used for final stitching of bucket twill and decals.

Flagging: This is usually caused by improper framing (hoops) of goods. Marking may cause unsatisfactory stitching to form and the nest or poor registration.
