What Is Machine Embroidery Digitizing? An insight..
darts247.com - 2009 catalogue online now
Machine embroidery digitizing is an art form. Using embroidery digitizing software, a skilled embroidery digitizer transforms an image or text to stitches, creating the image in a file format an embroidery machine can read.That's a fine definition but the reality is somewhat more involved.Just as typing words into a word processor does not make one an author, being able to open digitizing software on a computer does not make the operator an embroidery digitizer. Embroidery digitizing is not a click-the-button-and-sit-back process.Digitizing an image for embroidery requires an artist's ability to see the big picture and the smallest of details. Experienced embroidery digitizers mentally dissect each image, breaking it out into sections and layers, noting how each section relates to the others, how the colors blend and merge and how the shadows play with the light to create the mood or atmosphere the image evokes.
Then the digitizer utilizes the software's tools to separate those sections for redrawing or resizing, stitching in underlay and overlay threads, assigning stitching sequences, using thread to apply shading, and colorizing. The design is reassembled to create that original impression, as much as is possible, in thread and it is ready for its first sew out.Sometimes digitizing an image to thread is often not possible nor feasible. Thread is three dimensional; it is not oil paint or digital pixels. An embroidery digitizer must have an artist's creativity and problem-solving skills. A digitizer's canvas is the computer monitor, the keyboard and mouse are the brushes and the embroidery digitizer's pallet is the embroidery software.But the embroider's canvas is the fabric, her brushes are the machine, needles and thread and her pallet is the program produced by the digitizer.
The machine is only a robot awaiting instructions and then doing precisely what it is told to do in the order it is told to do it. Ruling out mechanical problems or operator error, if a pattern does not sew out correctly it is not the machine or embroider's fault.So the digitizer's work is not confined to a computer screen. Knowledge of fabric types and the push-pull factor of each is also required. The embroidery digitizer also needs to know about needles, thread, and stabilizers and, perhaps most importantly, must creatively expand the 'boundaries' of machine embroidery.

To Screen Print or Embroider?

You already thought of the perfect apparel for your campaign. The next thing you have to do is to decide what imprint method to use. Will you screen print your logo or will it be better to embroider it instead? Here are some tips to consider in deciding which method to use:
The ObjectiveWhat is the purpose of the promotional item? Is it for mass distribution or is it for a limited audience? If it is for mass distribution, screen printing is suggested. Items like tote bags, shirts and sweatshirts normally have bigger imprint area for screen printing. This will make your item a "walking advertisment" when used. On the other hand, if you are purchasing apparel as uniforms for sales and office personnel, an embroidered logo on polo or tailored shirts will work better as embroidery gives a classic-formal look.
Screenprinting your logo is cheaper than having it embroidered. If you are working on a tight budget and aiming for a wide distribution, screening is the best method to use to maximize your budget. Since the charges are based on the number of colors used, you can also reduce your cost by using fewer colors. Embroidery is more expensive than screen printing, but if you prefer this method, you might consider simplifying your logo or reducing the number of stitches used.
The material of the product is another factor to consider. Some materials, like cotton and polyester, look better with screen prints, while an embroidered imprint will last longer on other materials. Embroidery is recommended for garments with rough surfaces, like piques, and thick materials like fleece. Although screen printing on these surfaces is possible, it will not last as long and may peel off with time.
If you are still in doubt on whether to screen print or to embroider your logo, contact our sales representative to get his or her advice. Our experience in the industry will help you decide which to choose.
