Custom Embroidery Digitizing Services
What Makes a Design Custom
If your design has small text, fine detail, shading, overlapping elements, or anything that a basic auto-digitizing tool would turn into a blob of stitches, it needs a custom job. We manually map out stitch direction, density, and underlay for each part of the design so detail doesn't get lost once it's on fabric — something automated software still can't do reliably.
Common Custom Digitizing Requests:
- Detailed illustrations and line art
- Custom lettering and script fonts
- Portraits and photo-based designs
- Multi-layer designs with shading or gradients
- Designs with fine detail under 1/4 inch
Built for Any Fabric, Any Placement
A design that sews clean on a flat polo won't always sew clean on a structured cap, terry cloth towel, or stretch fabric — the stitch settings have to change with the material. When you order, tell us the fabric and placement (left chest, cap front, jacket back, sleeve, etc.) and we'll digitize specifically for that combination, not a generic one-size file.
- Apparel — T-shirts, polos, jackets, hoodies
- Caps & Hats — Structured and unstructured
- Bags & Accessories — Canvas, nylon, leatherette
- Specialty Fabrics — Terry cloth, fleece, stretch knits
