Digitising is the process of translating artwork into a set of instructions that an embroidery machine can understand.  We take an image from a suitable medium such as a photograph, letterhead or electronic file, digitise the image, create a pattern from the image and then embroider the pattern onto a garment or other appropriate material.

Many factors influence the appearance of the final embroidery such as type, direction and density of the stitches and also weave and thread composition of the fabric. For example, a pattern created for a polo shirt will not necessarily embroider onto a sweatshirt or fleece without adjustment.

We apply standard charges for digitising and set-up:

We do however reserve the right to quote individually for complicated designs or where the fabric is likely to be challenging. 

To achieve the best result it is important that we are able to study the graphic on which the design will be based and understand the properties of the intended fabric before confirming a price for custom work.  Artwork can be sent to us by email as well as by conventional mail and can range from a simple sketch to a full colour photograph.  We accept most electronic formats including JPEG, bitmap, GIF and Adobe PDF.

We have a large and varied selection of stock designs available.
