Embroidery digitizing is a vital part of the embroidery design process.
There are a number of reasons for using the computerized embroidery machines for getting the different types of designs made. If you want to order for the bulk embroidered products, then this is the most widely used methods since it is capable of bringing the output really fast, reducing the production time of the items. The process retains the uniformity of the design works which is desirable for many items like the making of the brand logos and names. So, how exactly can you get wonderful designs made on these items? You will need to have the computer software which acts as a vital connection between the creation of design on the computer and the machine operations. Embroidery digitizing is a critical part of this operation.
In simple terms, ‘digitizing’ refers to the conversion of the analogue files to the digital ones so that the same can be read by the computer. The embroidery file formats are of two types: source formats or machine formats. Source formats are the ones which are specific to the software that are used for the digitizing. The embroidery digitizing services keeps original file for editing. The machine formats, are the ones which are related to the different brands of the machines. These contain the stitch data and machine functions. The editing through these is a cumbersome process and involves extensive manual work. The digitizing USA services prefer to make use of the machines which have the most commonly used machine formats so that working on any machine format is not difficult.
The machines used by the embroidery digitizing Washington companies can perform a number of editing functions on the embroidery design. These can scale up or down the design, rotate, move, split, duplicate and even distort the design. The design can be replicated endless on the fabric. The completion of the editing is followed by the transferring of the design on the machines. The most common format for using the same is the PES format. These patterns of the embroideries can be transferred by using the CDs, cables, USB interfaces, or even the special cards for the same.
The next part after the transfer of the design is the stabilization of the fabric. This is made possible by the use of stabilizers or the interfacing. Some of the common ways in which the same can be achieved is: water-soluble, heat-and-gone, nylon, vinyl, open and stick and other methods. These are essentially the ways to remove the stabilizers after the embroidery has been done.
Now the set up of embroidery digitizing and development is ready for the further operation. Most of the designs require more than one colour. In case the one needle machine is used, the thread need to be cut and the new one is put on the needle. The commercial ones come with many needle heads and the next one takes off from where the previous one has left. This will have some jumps of thread stitches and the same will need to be cut as well.
