Flat and complex logos
Left chest, back, front, sleeve and bag placements. Fills, satin edges and layered detail, with small text set so it does not fill in.
What you get
A stitch file built for your machine, not a generic conversion
Embroidery digitizing is not a file conversion. Someone has to decide every stitch type, the direction it runs, how dense it sits, what goes underneath it and the order the machine works in. Get those wrong and the design puckers, breaks thread or sews a logo nobody recognises.
Every file we build is planned around the fabric it is going on, the size you need and the machine you run.
- Stitch plan set for your fabric and placement
- Small lettering handled so it stays readable
- Efficient pathing, fewer trims and jumps
- Delivered in every machine format you need
Digitizing from
$10per design, based on size and complexity.
Every file includes
- The stitch file in your format
- A stitch preview before you run it
- Final stitch count and dimensions
- Revisions where the file does not match the approved design
- Your design stored for instant repeat orders
Types of embroidery we digitize
Each of these needs a different stitch plan. We set them per job rather than running one default across everything.
Cap and 3D puff
Sequenced to sew from the centre out and bottom up so the cap does not shift. Foam allowance, cap specific density and pull compensation for structured and unstructured fronts.
Applique and patches
Placement line, tack down and cover stitch sequenced correctly for twill and fabric applique, plus patches with merrow, satin or laser cut edges.
Chenille and loop
Chenille and moss stitch for varsity letters and heavyweight badges, with the border and fill balanced so the letter holds its shape.
Towel and terry
Raised stitching and knockdown work so the design sits on top of the pile instead of sinking into it.
Photo and portrait
Photographs, mascots and pet portraits built in layers so shading reads at the size you are actually sewing.
Monogram and lettering
Names, numbers, monograms and name tapes set up as reusable templates, so repeat and personalised orders take minutes.
Emblems and crests
Club, school and team crests with fine detail resolved for the size, rather than a shrunken version of the artwork.
Leather, knitwear and technical fabric
Stretch, pile and coated fabrics each move differently under the needle and get their own underlay and compensation.
Inside the file
What we set on every job
These are the settings that decide whether a design runs cleanly or costs you machine time on every garment.
Density and underlay
Set for the fabric so the design holds its shape without going stiff or leaving gaps at the edges.
Pull compensation
Fabric moves as it sews. Shapes are compensated so circles stay round and outlines still line up at the end.
Stitch direction and type
Satin, fill or run chosen per shape, with the angle set so light hits the thread the way the design intends.
Sequence and pathing
Colour order, trims and jumps planned to cut thread breaks and reduce the trimming you do by hand afterwards.

How a job runs
-
You send the brief
Artwork plus size, placement, fabric and format.
-
We quote it
Price and delivery time confirmed before any work starts.
-
We digitize and check
A digitizer builds the file and it is checked before it leaves.
-
You run it
File and preview arrive in your format. Tell us if anything needs adjusting.
Send one logo and judge the file
The fastest way to tell a good digitizer from a cheap one is to run a file. Start with a single design.
