• Step 1: Artwork or Design Creation: The first step is to find, create or draw a design or image that can be used for embroidery. This can be done using any fraphic designing software, or by scanning or photographing an existing design.
• Step 2: Digitizing Software: After the design is created, it needs to be imported into a digitizing software. Digitizing software is a specialized software that allows the digitizer to convert the design into a digital embroidery file format that can be read by an embroidery machine.
• Step 3: Setting Up the Digitizing Software: The next step involves setting up the digitizing software according to the fabric and the type of embroidery that will be used. The software needs to be configured to determine the stitch type, density, stitch length, and other parameters.
• Step 4: Digitizing the Design: The digitizing process involves tracing the artwork or design using a digitizing software. The digitizer manually assigns a stitch type and direction to every part of the design, and then software generates the stitches.
• Step 5: Reviewing and Editing: After the digitizing process is complete, the digitized design needs to be reviewed and edited to ensure that it is accurate, has a smooth flow, and is free from any errors. The digitizer can use a preview function to check how the design will look when embroidered.
• Step 6: Saving the Design: After the design is reviewed and edited, it needs to be saved in a file format that is compatible with the embroidery machine. The most commonly used file formats for embroidery digitizing are DST, PES, and EXP.
• Step 7: Embroidering the Design: The final step in the embroidery digitizing process is actually the step of Quality Checking which can be done by embroidering the design using an embroidery machine because no matter how carefully the digitizer creates and checks the design there are various factors which can effect the final outcome of the design such as tension of needles or bobbin of embroidery machine. The machine reads the digital embroidery file and embroiders the design onto the fabric. The Digitizer can then look at the embroidered design closely and give finishing touches if required.

In conclusion, Embroidery Digitizing is a complex process that requires skill, experience and expertise. Following the above-mentioned steps carefully will help ensure that the final product is of high quality and meets the client's expectations.
