Some important steps involved in Embroidery Digitizing services

1. Digitizing instruction
   Starting-off, you will need to inform the digitizer about the complexity of the design, as well as, what you are expecting of them; like the type of fabric you want to embroider on. This will help them choose the best digitizing technique for the refined final product.
2. Underlay
   Once the digitizer has the initial instruction from the client, he will perform the underlay stitching. This refers to the process of creating an initial stitch pattern. These stitches are important as they are responsible to hold the fabric in place, as the main part of the design lies on the front side.
3. Path
   Next, the digitizer will come up with the perfect path for embroidery. This path will be used by machinery during the embroidering process to start and stop the design. It also instructs the machine about the order of design to follow during embroidery. For instance, borders should be sewed before the center and vice versa.
4. Pull Compensation
   Pull compensation is an important consideration that the digitizer will have to make using their experience. Pull compensation is required to overcome the pulling extent of different types of fabrics. And since different fabrics have different pull extents, the digitizer will bring forth his experience to compensate for the fabric pull
   Stitch types
   Lastly, the digitizer will have to decide on the stitch type and density for the design. This will again depend upon the type of fabric over which the design has to be embroidered.
5.  Saving the file
   Lastly, the digitizer will save the digitized file into the desired file format. Again, the type of format will be instructed by the client, as per the acceptable formats of the embroidery machine. Some of the common file formats include; .cnd, .dst, .csd, .exp, etc.
