What is Digitizing?
The dictionary definition is: "any process that converts non-digital data into numeric data, usually to be stored on a computer. It is the creation of vector data from hardcopy materials or raster images that are traced using a digitizer keypad on a digitizing tablet, or a mouse on a display device."
In other words, it is the process of creating an outline of the logo or design and placing stitches within the outline. Although this sounds simple enough, it can actually be quite challenging to make sure the logo looks good once sewn. The direction of the stitches produce different shades for the same color, thus the direction and density (how close together the stitches are sewn) must be taken into account. It is also important that the design be optimized for the type of product and fabric upon which it will be sewn. Experience is the key!
