Embroidery Digitizing Service
Affordable Digitizing is a USA owned and operated company based in SW Florida USA. Our objective is to produce high quality embroidery digitizing for your logo in the quickest and most economic way possible. There are not very many embroidery digitizing companies still manually punching embroidery tapes, never mind one located here in SW Florida USA. We are still hand digitizing your logos to ensure the highest quality embroidery. Some companies use the latest tracing technology for embroidery digitizing; however, we still perform our digitizing services by HAND! That's right, a person… not a computer is deciding when to apply a satin stitch, or a fill stitch and many other aspects of the embroidery digitizing process, that humans have more control over, and hence… We feel our quality is unsurpassed!
Embroidery digitizing, or embroidery punching, is the process of converting your logo artwork design into a digitized embroidery pattern that can be read by the embroidery machines. A skillful embroidery digitizing artist uses embroidery digitizing software to help interpret your particular artwork or logo design- from either vector format artwork or scanned artwork (.bmp, Jpeg, tiff)- to a digital embroidery pattern.
Affordable Digitizing is completely owned and operated by a Veteran of the United States Coast Guard. So if you want to support the US economy instead of China's please Email us or give us a call!
You may be able to find a company out there that isn't in the USA that only charges $2 per 1000 stitches, but you will certainly get what you pay for… the quality and stitch counts will not be the same as a quality hand digitized logo. Give us a try today… send us your logo in any format and we will estimate the stitch count, and give you an idea of what it will cost to digitize your logo for embroidery.
Affordable Digitizing is a one-time charge based on the complexity. Once it's complete, you can take your special DST, PES,JEF or whatever your embroidery format is and bring it to any embroidery shop, which will then be able to embroider your logo without charging you a setup fee. We maintain all digitized logos on file forever! USA based digitizing companies have several factors that equal better customer service…we have an easier time communicating and we work normal business hours. Also because we are based in the USA… we care about each and every one of our USA based customers like they were our only one!

These days virtually all modern embroidery machines are computer controlled and specifically engineered for embroidery. Industrial/commercial embroidery machines and sewing/embroidery machines both have a hooping or framing system that holds the framed area of fabric taughtly and securely underneath the sewing needle and move it around automatically to create a design from a digital embroidery file (pre-made pattern)
Both can read and sew out embroidery design files (of various types) with varying degrees of user input required depending on its capabilities.
For example sewing-embroidery machines generally only having one needle will require the user to change thread colors "on the fly" where as a multi-needle (industrial) machine having more needles can generally be threaded up all at once prior to running the design. This method also requires the user to input the correct color (needle) change sequence into the machine before hand.
Modern (industrial) embroidery machines can trim and change colors automatically and can have anywhere up to 15 or more needles per "head"(available colors). The term "head" refers to the "sewing head" as some of the larger industrial embroidery machines can sew the same design out onto 20 (or more) garments at once (as any one of these industrial machines can have many sewing heads).
Digitizing art for embroidery machines
Digitizing at first glance, seems a straightforward and simple procedure that almost anyone with limited computer skills can do; however work on punching software is only the first step.
Converting a printed image, flat art, a logo into an embroidery file requires years of experience working with an array of fabrics and embroidery machines; it's also essential to know the process of embroidery production.
Starting with a single mechanical embroidery many years ago; we have acquired that knowledge and experience. With our dedication to quality and customer service we have acquired many long term and returning happy clients. Please check our Client Testimonials.
Now, with all this experience behind every digitizing design we deliver, we focus entirely on digitizing.We utilize most widely used digitizing software, we prefer it because it is designed to produce higher quality sewouts.
