• Software: Specialized embroidery digitizing software is used to convert the design into a format the embroidery machine can read. Some of the popular embroidery digitizing software programs include Wilcom, Puls, Ofm, Wings, Ethos and TruEmbroidery.
• Stitch Types: The digitizing software assigns various stitch types (like satin stitch, fill stitch, running stitch, or specialty stitches) to different parts of the design based on the artwork. The digitizer also specifies the stitch direction, stitch density, underlay stitches (for stabilizing), and other details like color changes.
• Test Stitching: Before the final production run, a test stitch-out is done on a sample fabric to make sure everything looks good. This step helps to fine-tune the design, adjusting stitch density, color order, and other factors if necessary.
• Machine Format: Once the design is digitized and tested, the final file is exported in a format compatible with the specific embroidery machine. Different machines use different file formats, such as DST, EXP, PES, JEF, VP3, etc.
Raster images are typically fixed in resolution, meaning when you resize them, the image can become pixelated or blurry. Converting raster to vector solves this issue because vectors are infinitely scalable without losing quality. This makes vector graphics ideal for situations where resizing or manipulation is required, like in printing, web design, and product manufacturing.
Here’s why the conversion is important:
Scalability: Vectors can be resized without any loss in quality, which is crucial for things like logos, signs, banners, or illustrations that need to be used at various sizes.
Efficiency in File Handling: Vectors tend to be more compact in file size, especially for simple graphics. Raster files, especially high-resolution ones, can become very large.
Precise Editing: Vectors are easier to manipulate and edit. Since they’re made up of paths, shapes, and anchor points, you can adjust colors, shapes, and other elements without pixelation or loss of detail.
Professional Printing: For high-quality printing (e.g., for apparel, posters, billboards, etc.), vector formats ensure that designs appear crisp and clear at any size.
