How to Digitize Logos?

You might believe that all it takes to use machine embroidery is to upload your logo to a computer and then sit back and wait for the embroidery machines to do their thing.  

 The digitalization of a logo is actually a much more involved procedure than that. Fortunately, Brendon O'Flanagan, Senior Digitizer at Merchology, can explain it to us.  

 Brendon is a top expert in his area and has been digitizing logos for more than 20 years. 

 The fun part is choosing your things after you've decided whether to digitize your logo for embroidery or have Merchology's skilled team do it for you.  

 From Quick Ship Clothing for when you need something quickly to personalized Bags and Backpacks to greet the new hire or specifically curated MerchBoxes with the greatest corporate presents all in one box, there are lots of options! 

Tips to Digitize logo 

You must digitize your logo so that embroidery machines can read it before you can use it because they cannot read the same types of files that your computer can.  

 From the standpoint of a digitizer, that often entails turning a JPG or PNG file of a client's company logo or artwork into an embroidered file. The type of embroidery machine you plan to use will decide the embroidery file type. 

Machine-specific embroidery file types. 

For Tajima commercial embroidery machines, use the dst embroidery file format. 

embroidery file type for professional Melco embroidery machines, for example. 

JEF: Janome commercial embroidery machine embroidery file format. 

Brother commercial embroidery machines use the kwk embroidery file format. 

For commercial Barudan embroidery machines, use the dsb embroidery file format. 

Creating a Digital Logo 

The artwork or logo can be converted into the appropriate file type once you are aware of the sort of embroidery machine you will be using.  

You'll need to have digitizing software set up on your computer in order to achieve this. For commercial digitizing, our Senior Digitizer advises using Wilcom Advanced Digitizing Software.  

 Brother Embroidery Design Software, Husqvarna Premier+ Embroidery Software, Janome Digitizer Software, and Embird Machine-Independent Embroidery Software are some more well-liked digitizing programmes. Once you've selected your embroidery programme, proceed with the procedures listed below. 

 First, insert your logo into the digitizing programme. 

 You simply insert your logo or design file (JPG, PNG, etc.) into the application in this initial phase and cut out any extraneous blank area surrounding the picture you want to be stitched. 

Measure the embroidery design in step two. 

Enter the size that you want for your embroidered logo or design.  

Make sure to carefully measure the space available for embroidery on the goods first since this will be the precise size that your picture will appear on your product!  

Before continuing to the following step, lock the image once you've got it just right. 

 Step 3: Select the Type of Stitch 

Different stitch types can be used to create a variety of looks, textures, and other effects.  

There is a maximum stitch length for each stitch type that needs to be taken into account. When choosing your stitch types, you should also take into account the fabric type and the "push and pull" of the garment. The three most popular machine embroidery stitch types are listed below. 

Summary  

The straight stitch is a basic embroidery stitch that uses repeated straight lines of stitches to create patterns. Repeating a straight stitch repeatedly will result in thick lines. It's important to remember that straight stitches can also be used for curved shapes in addition to straight lines.
