Embroidery is the art of decorating fabric or other materials with needle and thread or yarn. Machine embroidery mimics hand embroidery, especially in the use of chain stitches, but the "satin stitch" and hemming stitches of machine work rely on the use of multiple threads and resemble hand work in their appearance, not their construction.
Any design can be embroidered, but first it needs to be converted into a format that is accepted and readable by the embroidery machine. That conversion process is called "embroidery digitizing". The digitized file tells the embroidery machine where, how and which colors to use while stitching.
Reproducing a logo with accuracy and detail can best be done from line-art or vector files such as Illustrator (eps) or CorelDraw (cdr). Some other files also work well: PDF, TIFF, JPG, etc. High resolution art works well, but may be difficult to transmit via email, in that case it is best to provide your sales rep with a disk or flash drive.
If you have a poor resolution file, we can interpret and "redraw" the design. If vector art is not available, send what you have and your sales rep will advise you before we begin embroidery digitizing.
We currently accept the following graphical formats:
EPS, CDR, AI, PDF, JPEG, TIFF
