Embroidery digitizing is the process of taking an artwork file and putting it into a format that the embroidery machine can use. This file will provide all of the instructions for the embroidery machine to stitch out the correct colors and patterns of the custom embroidery project. There are various software programs that can accomplish the digitizing process through a small amount of training by the user.

Embroidery digitizing is usually considered the setup fee involved in any custom embroidery project. The pricing is based on the 1000’s of stitches that are required to complete the artwork design. The final cost would be a set dollar amount ranging from $5-$10 per thousand stitches in the custom embroidery design. This process can take anywhere from one to three days, depending on intricacy of the design.
