Common Questions & Answers
What is Digitizing & How much does it Cost?
The Digitizing Process can be a Simple to a Very complex Process depending on a Few Factors such as Quality of Original Artwork, Size of Desired Final Project, Number of Colors in Design, amongst other factors.
Basically, Digitizing is a Process of turning your Artwork into digital file of "X" & "Y" Points that an embroidery machine will recognize, the series of "X" & "Y" points become a Sewing point where the Machine will drop a Needle to Create a Stitch. The Average logo will contain anywhere between 6,000 and 100,000 "X" & "Y" points
Generally Digitizing will cost $19.99 & up, with the Average price being between $30 & $50. Digitizing is FREE for orders with a Piece count of 50 or more.

Our Embroidery Machines will generally Recognize most common embroidery formats, If you have an Embroidery file that has been Created elsewhere, we will be happy to see if our Machines will Recognize it.
