WHAT DOES DIGITIZING MEAN?
Digitizing is the assignment of stitches by the embroiderer for embroidery on articles. Digitizing is an art form – it takes an experienced digitizer and embroiderer to assign the stitches in embroidery to make a project turn out right. There is a separate, one time charge for digitizing for a project. Once the digitizing is done, typically there is a what is called a sew-out, or sample of the image for the customer or us to approve before the final project is done. This is especially helpful when colors are a question or the artwork is complicated. Always know that you can see a sew-out before we do the final work.
Digitizing in general term means to represent any object or item in the better form using sound, image, signal , etc in the digital form. This can be achieved using various digitizing software available. The digitizing is commonly done for various embroidery designs & logo designs for various fabrics. The digitizing is done by profession embroidery digitizers.

The embroidery machines speak a different language than your computer. While most software programs understand what a vector image (example Corel Draw, Adobe Illustrator) or a raster image (example jpg, gif, png, bmp) is, the embroidery machine cannot make heads or tails out of these images. Digitizing software is used to manually translate your image into a machine language that tells the machine where a stitch begins and ends, and what thread color is to be used for that particular stitch.
