Many people confuse digitizing with a digital graphic image like a JPEG or TIFF.   Digitizing in the embroidery world is the process of taking artwork in a digital form like a JPEG, TIFF, PDF or EPS file and converting that information into a language that drives the computerized embroidery machine that creates beautiful and detailed artwork using thread on a variety of garments.   Below are some sample "stitch-outs".

Pricing for digitizing a logo, text or image is based on the number of stitches required to complete the design.   A typical logo that is usually placed on the left chest of a shirt is about 1 inch high by 3 inches wide and uses about 6000 stitches.   By comparison, a logo that covers the full back of a jacket measuring about 7 inches by 10 inches use about 110,000 stitches.   Pricing is usually based on a price per thousand stitches.    Digitizing is a one time expense and usually ranges from $40 and up.    Once we have your digitized logo on file, we can easily and quickly produce subsequent orders.  

We will always provide you with an estimate before proceeding with the digitizing process.  

The preferred file type for artwork that you submit to us is EPS or PDF. (JPEG or TIFF will work, but may have some limitations if we have to scale the image).
