It has to be digitized to an embroidery format. Such as DST. You have to have embroidery digitizing software to do this. Good luck

Not that I am aware of. There are lots of digitizing companies. You can do an onlilne search. Even some of the big name stock embroidery design companies do digitizing.

The progs cost too much. There are tons of digitizing services out there. The going rate is somewhere between $3 and $10 per thousand stitches.

Be leary of the real cheap ones as you get what you pay for

Thumbs up Re: Embroidery Digitizing

Looks like your looking for an embroidery digitizer. You can get your text, logo or any graphic digitized at Embroidery Designs Shop I was referred to them through a friend when I needed our bowling logo digitized for some t-shirts it cost us only $10 I'm not sure of their exact website address but you can do a google search for embroidery designs shop

I think embird studio is the cheapest digitilazing software available, if you want do do it yourself.

Hi

You are opening a real can of worms if you try to digitise this yourself. There are so many variables to consider when digitising a design, fabric type, pathing, density etc...etc... Only experience gives you this knowlege.

What you see on the screen is not what you get out of the embroidery machine. I wish it were that simple

Regards
Dean
