Embroidery Digitizing – New Ways to Bring Designs to Life
Do you remember the time when your grandmother, or maybe even your mother, would sit for hours doing embroidery by hand? These projects would often take them through the long winter months and often beyond depending on what was being embroidered. Perhaps you have even tried it yourself but gave up when you realized just how long it was going to take. If you love the look but don’t have the time or the patience, you might want to look into something called Embroidery Digitizing.
Simply put, Embroidery Digitizing means that you can take any design or picture scan the image, and with the aid of digital software you will be able to create a pattern of your design. Your stitch types and directions will be digitally created, as well as suggestions for the kind of thread to be used. If you are going to be doing this work yourself you are going to have to invest in fairly good embroidery machine, and the digitizing software programs needed to do the work. After that all you need is a design or pattern and you are on your way!
Before you head out and buy the most expensive embroidery machine you can find, it will pay you to do a bit of Internet research. If you are a beginner at the art of Embroidery Digitizing, a good basic machine that doesn’t cost too much will be all you need to get started. The time for the more sophisticated machine can come later, after you have mastered the technique. Once you have your machine, you will have to purchase the software program and install in on your machine. Digitizing software comes in different price ranges. The more programs that are included, the more you will pay.
Once you have installed the software, take some time learning the process of Embroidery Digitizing. Practice the stitch patterns on scrap cloth until you get the hang of it. Try out a simple pre-designed pattern to see how you do. This is the way to learn how to refine your work and correct any problems you may be having. It will also help you to learn what type of material is easiest to work with. Some materials take embroidery easily and look fantastic, and others are hard to work with, and the design may not look like you thought it would.
Practicing your technique will also help you to learn how you can add text, make changes in colors, re-size a design, and edit stitch styles, all things that you will have to know, and all part of the Embroidery Digitizing process. When your design has been finalized it has to be saved on the machine’s memory card. Once you have all this down pat, you are ready for some serious embroidering.
Remember, you can embroider almost anything you want on clothing, accessories, ball caps, handbags and more. Designs come alive with Embroidery Digitizing. You can do more in one day than you possibly could if you attempted this job by hand. Whether you design your own pattern or use one that is pre-made, once you have mastered the technique of digitizing, the possibilities are endless. You might even decide to open your own Embroidery Digitizing business, that’s how much fun you will have.
