What is digitizing in embroidery?

Turning artwork into a machine embroidery file by choosing stitch types, directions, density, underlay and sewing order for every shape.

Designs and digitizing

Digitizing, explained

Digitizing is more than tracing: the same logo needs different settings on a cap, a T-shirt or a towel. It can be done by hand in desktop software, ordered from a digitizing service, or done automatically by an auto-digitizer such as Embrizo. The logo digitizing guide walks through each decision.
