What is Embroidery?

Embroidery is when we stitch your design into a fabric. The most common embroidery jobs are for hats, polo shirts or pocket logos. Embroidery is difficult, and time consuming, but embroidery is by far the most impressive type of printing. Embroidery has its limitations, and needs to be super simple for it to be possible. The designs must have no fades or small tiny details. For embroidery to have great results then 95% of the success (results) is due to the “digitizing” process. This step (digitizing) is BY FAR the most crucial step in the entire process. You can have the best type of clothing, or use the most expensive embroidery machine, but if the digitizing isn't done properly, then it won’t make a difference. Digitizing is when you take the logo and convert it into a “DST file”. This digitizing (DST) process allows the embroidery machine to understand how to properly stitch the design into your garment. Think of it as a roadmap with directions and detailed instructions on how and where the embroidery machine should stitch. If the person who prepared the DST file gives bad directions or instructions to the embroidery machine then the results will be bad, no matter what. This is why it’s so important to make sure that the digitizing is done by professionals. Most places use cheap online digitizing programs with horrible results. We use a local digitizing agency based in Quebec. They’re expensive, but they’re by far the best we’ve ever used. We can easily use a cheap online foreign company, but the results won’t be as good. Embroidery has longer production times because it usually takes 1-2 days to get back the DST file from our digitizing company. All our embroidery prices include the cost of the digitizing (DST) so there’s no need to pay extra. Most of our competitors have their digitizing fees hidden and will always display this fee at the end so be careful when comparing our services and prices. When shopping for embroidery always be very careful of hidden fees, and the digitizing. Most places show you the prices without the digitizing fees so when you’re shopping around always be careful of this.
