What does it mean to "Digitize" a logo or design?
Digitizing a design or logo is the art of translating your picture or drawing or idea into
a stitch format that can be read by the embroidery machine. This involves the use of
specialized embroidery creation software to create the commands such as colour
changes and trims, what type of stitch to use and where to use it, all the information
needed to create your unique design.
How do you calculate the cost of embroidery?
Embroidery prices are calculated based on the stitch count of the design. To determine
this we first need to have a rough copy of your design. This can be emailed to us in
any of the following forms: jpg, jpeg, gif. We also need to know what type of garment
it will be stitched on, what size you want the finished design to be and how many
garments will be done each time. Once we have your design we will do a rough setup
and give you a quotation based on this. The more information you can give us, the
better our quote will be. A standard price for a basic design and a minimum quantity is
$1.00 per thousand stitches.
Are there limitations to embroidery?
Embroidery has some technical limitations which need to be considered before we can
set up your logo. Very small lettering and very fine lines do not generally reproduce
well with embroidery. Embroidery techniques also vary depending upon the material
we are going onto, as an example different setups are required for t-shirts as
compared to oxford cloth dress shirts. Polar fleece and hats also produce different
challenges. If necessary making small changes or adaptations to your design will make
it possible to embroider a top-quality image on your selected garments.
Embroidery Tips & Guidelines
Embroidery Size and Details Relationship
Basically, it will not be possible to embroider a very detailed logo/design in very small
amount of space.
Embroidery on "Left Chest"/"Right Chest"
The size of the embroidered design should not exceed 4 inches wide to prevent it from
sliding underneath the bicep and armpit area. The height should not exceed 3.5 inches
for best appearance.
Embroidery on Full Front/Full Back
Size should not exceed 10.5 inches high and 10.5 inches wide for best possible result.
Embroidery on Short Sleeve
Size should not exceed 3.5 inches wide for best result. The height varies.
Embroidery on Cuff
Size should not exceed 3.5 inches wide for best result. The height varies.
Embroidery on Hats
Size should be in the range of 2.5 inches high and 5 - 6 inches wide at the front for
best result. Embroidery at the sides and back are also available.
Monogramming
Monogramming on left chest/right chest, letters should be at least 0.25 inches or 0.64
centimeters in height. Embroidered words exceeding 4 inches wide per line should be
placed on another line. For small lettering, sometimes it's necessary to capitalize all
text for better legibility.
