Embroidery digitizing is basically a technology or even we can say it is a form of art where the software helps a digitizer to convert an image into embroidery stitches. Simply having embroidery digitizing service software is not enough to provide an attractive embroidery design.
Embroidery digitizing is the process of converting your JPG, GIF, PDF or scanned design or logo in embroidery machines format like EMB, DST, CND, EXP and other formats. In embroidery industry, the quality of embroidered products depends on the quality of digitizing, so it becomes important factor that digitizing should be of top quality.
Apart from this it also needs lots of imagination and capability of shaping the imagination into real beautiful embroidery designs. Digitizing services are not automatic development programs, where you just switch on the button and all the designs will develop mechanically. Here the artist has to imagine the designs and analyze the designs before setting them in machines. The combinations of colors are also taken into account before the designing.
The digitizer must first analyze the artwork to see if it should be edited for embroidery. We have to understand that not all logos and designs will work for embroidery. There are those that need to be simplified and correctly sized up. There may also be elements in the artwork that will be eliminated, and there will be some that will be altered, like enlarging small text and eliminating outlining.
After finishing up on the modifications on the artwork in the program or software, the digitizer will then decide on how the "pathing" of the stitches will run. Pathing, or mapping, refers to the sequence of stitches in the design, from start to finish. This is an important process because if the design is not embroidered in the correct sequence, there may be unwanted gaps and uneven text. This process is also a factor on how long the design will be running on the machine during embroidery process. A smoother design made in a shorter time costs less.
The digitizer then assigns stitch types to sections of the design. These will be based on what stitches will best bring out the beauty of the artwork. The underlay stitches will be added first. The underlay stitches should be done correctly because it helps the other remaining stitches have a smooth surface to embroider on. It also adds density to the design. When not done correctly, the stitches will sink into the fabric or allow the shirt fabric to show through the design.
Embroidery digitizing or embroidery punching is the process of converting artwork into digital data that tells a computerized embroidery machine how to move during the embroidery process.
