People often mistake Embroidery Digitizing for Graphic Digitizing it is completely different.

Embroidery Digitizing is the process Embroidery Companies used to turn your graphic logo into stitches.  We use special software that generates a language that our Embroidery machines can read and translate to things like, Sew boarders, Needle up, Needle Down, Change color, Trim thread, Move up, Move down, Sew Filled area, Sew text.

Everything the Embroidery machines DO, the Digitizer has programmed within the design of your logo.  Even thickness of letters and spacing is all done exactly or direction of thread… how the threads lay and how thick they are all is done through computer programming.

This programming can then be translated onto Coats, Shirts, Polos and various articles of clothing and fabric materials, even patches can be created through this method.

This is why there is a set up fee to generate an embroidered design from your graphic.  Some are mistaken into thinking it is a screen printing process.

This is far more complicated and those that digitize well have had years, upon years of experience.

We believe that why our designs are superior to many in the business is the ability to making your logo come to life – putting extra time into arranging stitches so the thread creates a 3D appearance.

For best results, it all starts with clean and high resolution images.  Sometimes we work with photographs and jpeg files, but prefer clean graphic art when possible.  300dpi or greater is best and 1200 pixels wide is also suggested.  We generally say 4X the original size of the finished product are helpful.  What we basically do is use your graphic as our pattern and lay the stitches over top of that image.  So fuzzy lines mean hard to see lines and you may not get what you hoped in the end.

Digitizing is an art form and you will get different versions of your logo with every embroidery company you deal with.  This is why we encourage customers to compare with other digitizers because we set a high standard and quality.

We can also provide you with a quotation within 24 hours of receiving a graphic jpeg design free of charge.  We hope you will consider Lorac Enterprises as your Embroider provider both now and in the future.
