CUSTOM DIGITIZING INFORMATION

Digitizing is the process by which we take camera ready artwork and convert it into a computerized embroidery format. It is the process of converting the artwork that we pride ourselves on. This is the process that we have been trained to do and have been practicing for the past several years. This computer file can then be saved to a floppy disk and any embroiderer can then load it up into their embroidery machine and stitch out a duplication of the artwork that was digitized. Together along with the included Stitch Instruction Sheet, the embroiderer can program a machine to sew in the correct thread color sequence, producing beautiful embroidery.

In order for us to create beautiful embroidery, we must have beautiful artwork on file. The process is an art form in itself. Years of development has gone into reaching the level of quality that we provide our customers. With new technology constantly becoming available we stay on the cutting edge by updating our software and techniques.  However, some things don't seem to change: Quality, Service, Promptness, and Courteous behavior is all a part of what we do here. We would love to be able to prove to you that we do offer something more than others.

We will need to obtain the artwork that you would like to have digitized. There are several ways in which you can provide us this artwork. CAMERA READY artwork is what we use to digitize the designs. If you can get us CAMERA READY artwork, we would be able to start on your order right away. If the artwork is something less than CAMERA READY artwork, we will then have to have our artist rework it.

Concept Art is when you only have an idea of what you want, we can create something that would be just right for you. Thread Masters Embroidery, Inc. will not be held responsible for infringing on any company's copyrighted logo or artwork. It will be assumed that the customer who places the order will have full rights to have the design digitized.

The following site offers a program that will open a stitch file in any major format. You can also select a color sequence to see what the desired order of "color stops" or "color sequence" is. Once at the site you will click on Pulse Design Colorizer and then upload the stitch file to start the program. Follow instructions at the website.

Artwork submission

To submit artwork you can email it to art@1tme.com.  Along with the artwork you will need to provide some information about the colors you wish to have the design sewn with. In most cases you can submit the artwork in color. For black and white line art it is best to fax that to us with arrows drawn pointing to the regions of the artwork letting us know what color you want it to be.

 

BEST FORMAT FOR ART
