  • No hidden charges

    The quote covers the file and format you asked for. If something changes, we tell you first.

  • Revisions

    Revision requests are reviewed case by case. What is involved depends on the original order and the change you ask for, and we tell you about any charge before further work starts.

  • Deadlines

    Have a deadline? Include it with your request. The timing for your design is confirmed with your quote before work starts.

  • Sizes, formats and files

    A new size or placement is quoted as a variant, not just scaled. A standard order includes one machine format of your choice; extra formats or an editable working file are confirmed separately. You can keep and reuse the machine files we deliver, on your own machines or with another decorator.

What changes the price

What affects embroidery
digitizing cost?

Digitizing is priced per design because the work behind two files of the same size can be very different. These are the things that change it. Not sure which tier your design falls into? Upload it and the quote tells you.

  1. Artwork condition and complexity

    A clean vector logo with a few solid shapes is quicker to plan than a low-resolution photo, a gradient or a detailed illustration. Shading and fine texture have to be translated into stitch types, and unclear artwork may need to be redrawn before digitizing starts.

  2. Design size

    Stitch count grows with the area that is filled, not just the width. A 10" jacket back holds many times the stitches of a 3" left chest, and a design is planned for its finished size rather than simply scaled up or down.

  3. Stitch planning

    Every object needs a stitch type, angle, underlay, density, pull compensation and a place in the sewing order. Overlapping shapes, outlines and registration between colors add decisions.

  4. Small lettering

    Very small text, such as taglines, names or fine print inside a logo, is planned letter by letter and sometimes needs to be enlarged or simplified to stay readable at that size.

  5. Number of elements and colors

    Each separate element and thread color adds objects, color changes and travel or trim decisions, so a design with many small parts takes longer than one bold shape.

  6. Cap versus flat embroidery

    Caps sew on a curved frame with a seam through the front, so a cap version usually needs its own sequencing and sizing. A cap version of a flat design is quoted as a separate variant.

  7. 3D puff requirements

    Foam needs wider satin columns, closed ends and a denser cover than flat embroidery. Thin strokes or small details may have to be restructured, and not every element can be puffed.

  8. File format requirements

    A standard order includes one machine format of your choice. Extra formats, an editable working file or machine-specific requirements are confirmed in the quote, so tell us your machine brand and model.

  9. Design revisions

    Revision requests are reviewed case by case. What changes and why (a new artwork version, a different size, or a technical correction) decides whether there is a charge, and we tell you before further work starts.

  10. Production-specific requirements

    Fabric (towels, performance knits, leather), appliqué, a hoop size or stitch-count limit, a thread type or a deadline can change how the file is built. Mention them up front so the quote covers them.

FAQ

Ordering, pricing & revisions

How is embroidery digitizing priced?

Price depends on the design size, estimated stitch count, level of detail and any specialty techniques such as 3D puff, appliqué or large jacket backs. Every design is quoted individually, and you see the price before we start. Nothing is charged without your approval. See pricing for how the tiers work.

How are revisions handled?

Case by case. Send your order reference and what you would like changed; if something sews poorly, include a photo of the sew-out with the fabric and backing used. We review the request against the original order and tell you whether any charge applies before further work starts. New text, a different layout or added elements are usually treated as new work.

Can you create multiple sizes?

Yes. A design that needs to sew at left chest, cap front and jacket back is best digitized as separate size variants rather than scaled from one file. Stitch counts, density and small details all need to change with size. Additional sizes are quoted as variants.

Do I get an editable source file?

Not automatically. Your order includes the machine file in the format you choose. An EMB working file keeps the object data, so it can be edited and resized properly in Wilcom-compatible software; if you need one, ask in your request and we confirm whether it can be supplied, and any charge, before work starts. Machine formats like DST hold only stitch data and are not meant for major edits.

Can I reuse the files you deliver?

Yes. You can keep the machine files delivered with your completed order and use them on your own machines or give them to another embroidery decorator. This covers the delivered machine files, not an editable working file. Rights in the artwork itself, such as a logo or trademark, stay with whoever owns them; a stitch file does not transfer them.
