For a person to create a quality custom embroidered logo, there are a number of things he or she should have to learn. The very first step is how to create a digitized file for embroidery design. Logos are among the most commonly used designs for embroidery. In this post, DigitPlace will provide you some tips on how to set up a good quality custom embroidered logo on a fabric or garment.
First and foremost is to choose your desired design. You can find so many custom logos online, which you can use as design for embroidery. In case you really want a personalized logo, there are some logo designers offering designing services online. You can contact them and request for their designing service. Once you already have your preferred design for embroidery (which is in standard image file format like jpeg, bitmap, png, etc), the next thing you need to do is to convert it to a computerized embroidery format. Modern embroidery machines or computer-controlled embroidery machines require a specific file format in order to stitch the design and that is none other than but digitized or stitch file.
The process of transforming your logo (which is intended for) into a digital file (render in thread onto a fabric) is what we refer to as logo digitizing. Digitizing the logo is a very important process in computerized embroidery because it simplifies the job of an embroiderer when stitching designs, especially intricate designs. In logo digitizing, a computer design software is needed in order to accomplish the task. This design software comes in different types and it is the responsibility of an embroidery digitizer to properly select the best design program that is compatible to the computerized embroidery machine. It is vital to consider the compatibility of the digitizing software and computerized embroidery machine because it can significantly affect the quality of the custom embroidered logo.
Aside from design creation, another important thing that you should watch out for is thread and fabric selection. Producing a digitized file that is compatible to the computerized embroidery machine will be nothing if the embroiderer is unable to select the right thread and fabric to be used in setting up the design. Some threads work best on heavy fabrics but could create poor quality designs when used in fluffy or silky textile.
By putting those important things in your mind when doing logo digitizing job, you will definitely be on your way to creating good quality designs for embroidery.
