Files that run smoothly on the machine
A good stitch file isn't just about how it looks on screen. I set stitch type, density, underlay and pull compensation for the fabric it's going on, whether that's cotton, pique, denim, fleece or a structured cap. Trims, jumps and colour changes are kept to a minimum, so you get fewer thread breaks and faster production.
Every embroidery machine format
You get the file in the format your machine reads: DST (Tajima), PES (Brother, Baby Lock), EMB (Wilcom), EXP (Melco), JEF (Janome), VP3 and HUS (Husqvarna), and XXX (Singer). Each order includes a stitch count, a colour sheet and a design preview. Not sure which one you need? Read the embroidery file formats guide.
How an order works
Send your artwork with the size in inches and the garment or fabric. You get a fixed price and delivery time, usually within the hour (see the digitizing cost guide for how prices work). I digitize the design, you approve a preview with the stitch count and colour chart, and then you receive the files. Small edits are free until it sews right.
Frequently asked questions
How much does embroidery digitizing cost?
Left chest and cap logos up to 4 inches start at $10. Jacket backs (8–12 inches) start at $28. Send your artwork for an exact fixed quote, usually within an hour.
Which file formats do you deliver?
DST, PES, EMB, EXP, JEF, VP3, HUS and XXX, plus any other format your machine needs. Tell me your machine brand and I'll send the right file.
How long does digitizing take?
Most standard designs are delivered in 12–24 hours. Rush orders are available when you're on a deadline.
Can you digitize from a JPG, a PNG or a photo?
Yes. A low-resolution image, a screenshot or a photo of a sketch is fine. I rebuild the design by hand, so the image quality doesn't limit the stitch quality.
Do you digitize 3D puff for caps?
Yes. Cap designs are digitized centre-out for curved cap frames, with 3D puff available for raised lettering and logos. See cap digitizing and 3D puff digitizingJacket back digitizing.
What if the file doesn't sew well?
Tell me what you're seeing and I'll adjust density, underlay or sequencing. Small edits are free until the design sews the way it should.
