For sure many of you have already learned what embroidery is. But how about digitizing? Have you heard or encountered this term already? If not, then let me share to you some brief information what digitizing is all about. Technically, the term digitizing is defined as the process of converting analog information (image or sound) into digital files. In this process, a computer is very essential in order to successfully accomplish the task. Digitizing can be applied in many forms. And among the common applications of it is in shirt embroidery.

Let’s say, you want to personalize your shirt through embroidery. What are the things needed? Definitely, you will need a design to be embroidered on the garment. Whether you want to use your picture or a logo of your favorite NBA team, all these will be first scanned or uploaded in your computer. Then, with the help of embroidery digitizing software, stitches will be applied on your chosen design so as to produce digitized files. The digitized file, along with the assistance of an operator or embroidery digitizer, will command the computerized embroidery machine in stitching out the pattern such as what order to sew the design, when to stop, trim, and change colors.

In embroidering the design on the garment, there are also some important things that you have to consider. One of them is the digitizing software. It is essential to carefully choose the digitizing software that is compatible to the computer and embroidery machine because the quality of the digitized files can affect the overall quality of a custom embroidered embroidered shirt.
