What is Digitizing?

Did I suggest digitizing your custom logo? And, you ask…..What is digitizing? Digitizing is an art form and I will pay an expert to get the best. Embroidery Digitizing, like other forms of ‘digitizing’ (used in Architecture & Aerospace) is the means of taking a ‘drawing’ & interpreting this drawing for the purpose of embroidery. Additional instructions are programmed into the design that gives computerized embroidery machine instructions for embroidery. Embroidery Digitizing is somewhat complicated as the embroidery artist also needs a thorough understanding of fabrics and how they will interact with the embroidery application (thread). An open weave shirt, for example needs to be digitized differently than one would for a finished hat.
I will send your art/design file to the digitizer for a price quote. So, I need to know the approx size(s) of the finished design(s), colors and their separations. We also need to know the type(s) of fabric(s) that you, as the customer, will want me to do the embroidery on. My digitizer requests the best art possible to work. He requests either an EPS or an AI file. If those files are not available there are other forms of art we can work with. If you need your art/design created for you, I also work with a graphic designer that can work with us (for an added charge). For the digitizing price quote please allow 3-5 days. After you approve the digitizing price quote allow 5-7 days for the art to be digitized. With the digitizing price quote he will also inform me of the approx number of stitches, so I will know the approx embroidery cost per location.
Once the design(s) is digitized it can used any time for the cost of the embroidery. The digitizing charge is a one time charge to set-up your design(s) to do the embroidery. I will keep your design on file for all of your future orders. Approx cost is $60.00 and up (for larger or complicated designs). ALL ORDERS- 50% DEPOSIT AT TIME OF ORDER

What is Embroidery?

Embroidery is the process where you are “inserting” threads into a garment/item. As an example– a polo shirts with your company logo as a left or right chest design (average size -3.5”w x 3.5”h) or a denim shirt or a jacket with a full back design (average size 12.5”w x 12.5”H). Embroidery works well on just about any garment. There is no limit to colors nor are there any extra charges for the numbers of colors in the design. The cost of embroidery depends on the # of stitches & the type of fabric it is sewn on. The threads I use for embroidery are color-fast when washed with non-chlorine bleach. Embroidery is a beautiful addition to any garment or item. This is just the tip of the iceberg for info…if want more information- just ask me! AND…The best is yet to come…minimum quantity is just one piece!

Prices for Embroidery are:
Minimum starts at $10.00 per design per location for a minimum of 1 piece.
That is for an average left or right chest sized embroidery.
All price quotes are approx. Pricing depends on stitch count.
I need to see the design and work on it for the correct cost to do the embroidery.
PLUS – for a custom design see the digitizing info attached.
