How Embroidery Digitizing Works

 Embroidery isn't all that hard these days, because of digitizing. It has actually become faster and easier for many of us. Embroidery digitizing is basically putting in digital data into a computer with a digital file or scanned image and then creating stitch types, directions, density settings, and adjustments to make perfect embroidery. It's like recreating an image or a pre-made pattern with the help of a digitizing software or program and saving it as an embroidery machine code.

The first step towards embroidery digitizing is to know what type of embroidery software to use for the project. We can find many embroidery digitizing logo digitizing on the Internet. Once you have your program ready, you can scan in the artwork you want embroidered and start digitizing the image. You can use any image for the project --- scanned from a magazine, a personal drawing, etc. If you have any worries as to whether the image is right for the project, don't think on them too much. Part of the digitizer's job is to make adjustments on the settings to make perfect embroidery.

Convert the size of the image to a bigger one, with the recommended size 3 to 6 times its actual size. Decide on the colors you want to use and apply them on the image. Be creative and try to bring out the sharpened beauty of the image you want embroidered.

Check the settings of the digitizer, as it should be programmed to lay out and make adjustments on the different stitch types to use, as well as the stitch directions, and density settings. It should also make considerations for the type of fabric to use. The digitizer will also do some "pathing," or mapping, where the starting point for the stitching is determined along with the path of the stitches and the end point. This is how the digitizer became something of a "puncher" in embroidery. It lays out the map through which the embroidery machine follows through.
