How to prepare artwork for embroidery digitizing
What to send and what to tell us, so your artwork becomes a clean embroidery file the first time.
Published
Good input saves a revision round. This is what helps most.
Send the best version you have
Vector files and PDFs are ideal. A clear, large image also works. If you only have a photo of a design, send it anyway and say so.
Tell us three things
- Size. How wide the design will be when stitched.
- Placement. Left chest, cap front, sleeve, back and so on.
- Fabric. For example polo cloth, twill, canvas or a vestment fabric.
These decide how a design is digitized, so they are worth a line in the form.
Tell us the format
Say which format your machine reads. We deliver DST, PES, JEF and EXP, and other formats on request.
Say if you are in a hurry
Standard files take 48 hours. Rush takes 24 hours for +25%. Ornate work takes 3 to 5 days.
What happens next
You send the artwork, we send a quote, you approve and pay, and you receive the files and a preview. One revision round is included, and you have 3 days to ask for it.
