Embroidery Digitizing & Vector Art for Print Shops
One behind-the-scenes partner for your stitch files and print artwork. Send your customers' logos as they come in and get hand-built embroidery files and clean vectors back, set up the same way every time, at a fixed price quoted upfront.
Outsource the artwork. Keep your machines and presses running.
Most screen printers, embroidery shops and promo distributors don't lose time on the machine. They lose it before the job starts: redrawing a blurry logo, fixing a stock file that puckers, or waiting on a digitizer who replies two days later. I take that part off your desk. You send the customer's artwork, I send back a production-ready file, and you decorate.

Who this is for
- Screen print shops that also sell embroidery and need stitch files without hiring an in-house digitizer
- Embroidery shops with more orders than their digitizer can handle, or no digitizer at all
- Promotional product distributors who pass artwork to different decorators and need clean, standard files
- DTF, vinyl and laser shops that keep receiving low-resolution logos and need vectors fast
- Uniform and teamwear suppliers sewing the same logo on polos, caps and jackets in different sizes
What I take off your desk
| Job | What you get | From |
|---|---|---|
| Logo digitizing | Left chest, sleeve or small logo up to 4″, hand-digitized for the garment fabric | $10 |
| Cap digitizing | Cap front built centre-out for cap frames, flat or 3D puff | $10 |
| Mid-size designs | 4″ to 8″ designs for full fronts, totes and bags | $16 |
| Jacket backs | 8″ to 12″ large designs with layered underlay so they sew flat | $28 |
| File fixes & conversions | Customer-supplied files converted, resized properly or repaired | Fixed quote |
| Vector redraws | Blurry JPG or PNG redrawn by hand to AI, EPS, SVG and PDF | $8 |
| Colour separations | Spot color, halftone or simulated process separations for screen printing, set up on the vector | Fixed quote |
| Patch artwork | Embroidered, woven or PVC patch artwork and stitch files | $12 |
Very dense embroidery designs over 15,000 stitches add $5 per extra 5,000 stitches. The digitizing cost guide explains how size and stitch count set the price. Every job gets a fixed price before work starts.
How shop orders work
- Send the artwork through the form below, by email or on Fiverr or Upwork, with size, garment and file format. A batch in one ZIP is fine.
- Get a fixed quote, usually within the hour while I'm online, with a delivery time for each design.
- Approve and I digitize or redraw each design by hand. Nothing is auto-traced.
- Receive the files: machine format, editable master, a preview with stitch count and a colour sheet you can forward to your customer.
- Sew it out. If anything is off on your machine, small edits are free until it runs right.
Files set up the way your shop runs
When you work with the same digitizer every week, your files become predictable. Tell me once and every file after that follows your house rules:
- Machine format and hoop sizes: DST for Tajima, Barudan and most multi-heads, PES for Brother, EXP for Melco, plus EMB master files (see the file formats guide)
- Thread chart: Madeira, Isacord, Robison-Anton or your own numbers on every colour sheet
- Naming: your order number or customer name in the file name, so files never get mixed up
- Size sets: the same logo delivered as left chest, cap and jacket back versions in one order
- Unbranded previews: clean preview images you can send to your customer for approval under your own name
- Trim and colour-change discipline: grouped colours and fewer jumps, so jobs run faster on the floor
Why shops outsource digitizing
An in-house digitizer is a full-time cost, and auto-digitizing software rarely produces files that sew well on caps, small text or performance fabrics. Outsourcing per design keeps the cost tied to the work you actually sell. The trade-off is trust: you need files that sew right the first time, replies when a job is urgent, and the same quality on the hundredth logo as on the first. That is the standard I work to: every file is built and checked by hand by the same person, and you talk directly to me, not to a sales team.
Before sending more work, test the quality on your own machine. New clients can get their first left chest or cap logo digitized free.
Time zones work in your favour
I work from Karachi, Pakistan (UTC+5). For shops in the US, Canada and the UK, that means artwork sent at the end of your working day is often digitized while you sleep and waiting in your inbox in the morning. Rush jobs can be arranged for same-day production.
Frequently asked questions
Do you work with print and embroidery shops on an ongoing basis?
Yes. Many shops send designs one at a time as their customers order, others send a batch every week. You get the same file setup every time, and I keep notes on your machines, hoops, file format and preferred thread chart so you don't have to repeat them.
Will you contact my customers?
No. I only work with you, the shop. Files and previews carry no StitchNova branding unless you want it, so you can send previews straight to your customer under your own name.
How fast can you turn around shop orders?
Standard designs are usually delivered within 12 to 24 hours. Rush orders are available when a job is due the same day. Karachi time is ahead of the US and UK, so designs sent at the end of your day are often ready when you open the next morning.
Do you offer bulk or volume pricing?
Single designs start at $10 for a left chest or cap logo and $8 for a simple vector. If your shop sends a steady number of designs each month, ask for a volume quote with your typical mix of jobs and you'll get a fixed price list before any work starts.
Which file formats can you deliver?
Embroidery files in DST, PES, EMB, EXP, JEF, VP3, XXX and other machine formats, always with the editable EMB master. Vector files in AI, EPS, SVG, PDF and PNG, with spot colours or colour separations for screen printing when needed.
Can I try one design before sending more work?
Yes. New clients can get their first left chest or cap logo up to 4 inches digitized free through the website form, so you can sew it on your own machine and check the quality before ordering more.
