Digital custom embroidery

Digitization, often referred to as "punching," is the process of converting a graphic image or art into an instruction file that can be read by an embroidery machine. Digitization is not only the most important factor in high quality embroidery. The skilled digitizer combines knowledge of the embroidery process, keen artistic talent, and in-depth knowledge of digital software and productivity tools.

Many of the best digitizers have hands-on experience in operating embroidery machines, so that when the needles and threads interact with the fabric, there is a strong understanding of the physical forces in the game. Digitization involves many design choices, including:

• Select the type of stitching based on aesthetic considerations and embroidery mechanisms [ie satin, running or various fill stitch patterns].
from

  • Correctly "draw" the sewing sequence, or the sequence of various sewing steps that form part of the design [for example, the hat is usually embroidered from the center of the design and from the bottom up to avoid distortion, such as wave or fabric buckling].
from

  • Use a pad or initial suture layer to secure the fabric to the backing and provide a foundation for the top stitch.
from

  • Design settings such as tension and thrust compensation [to counteract physical forces that may be distorted during embroidery design], density [number of stitches in a given area], stitch length, etc.

Each design choice can have deliberate or unintended consequences for another design decision. Excellent digitalization takes all these decisions into account to produce a beautiful design, embroidered very well, without unnecessary stitching, increasing the cost of the customer. High-quality digitization can also result in a "sturdy" design or can be consistently embroidered under a variety of fabrics and other conditions.

When communicating with your embroidery machine about potential new designs, consider the following steps:

1] If known, please specify the appropriate design size.

2] List all the materials that will be embroidered [leather materials, leather, baby fabrics, high performance fabrics, towels and wool materials have different embroidery characteristics and digital requirements.

3] Indicate the location where the embroidery is placed on the garment [the front of the hat and sun visor means different requirements and restrictions than the sleeve of the shirt].

4] Clearly identify all colors and indicate whether to embroider the void area or keep it open.

5] Point out any special effects required, such as color mixing or decals, taking into account embroidery and printing restrictions [eg difficulty]
from

  Capture some details, such as very small fonts, multiple thin lines, etc.].
