The Stitch Strategy: Turning Designs into Durable Art
The process of creating custom embroidery shirts or jackets isn't as simple as loading thread and pushing start. It begins with embroidery digitization, which converts your design into a format that the custom embroidery machine understands.
Once digitized, the design is fed into professional-grade machines that handle complex stitching with speed and precision. The outcome? Clean lines, vibrant colors, and best staying power.
Why Digitization Is Key to Quality Embroidery?
