Cheap embroidery digitizing for your sewing machine

How it works
Step 2
We digitize it by hand
A person turns the artwork into stitches. We do not run it through an automatic converter and hope for the best.
Step 3
Delivered in 24–48 hours
We email the file to you, usually the same day or the next. If something needs a small change after you try it, we will fix it.

The kind of work we digitize
These are machine embroidery files — logos, letters, and small pictures for shirts, hats, towels, and bags — not hand stitching.
Left-chest logos
The most common order. We digitize it so the satin edges stay clean on a shirt.
Hats and caps
Cap files are built for the curve of the hat, not just copied from a shirt file.
Jacket backs
Bigger designs get a simple $9.99 price. The file is made for a larger hoop.
Tote bags
A clear logo on canvas. Good for markets, churches, and small shops.
Towel monograms
Letters on terry cloth need a file made for that fabric, not a shirt file.
Aprons
Kitchen and shop aprons sew nicely when the stitches are planned for cotton.
Sweatshirts
A left-chest logo on a hoodie. We keep the fill light so the fabric does not pucker.
Baby and kids
Small designs for onesies and youth shirts. Soft stitches, simple shapes.
On the machine
This is what the file is for: a machine that sews your picture, stitch by stitch.
Kind words from customers
“I embroider from home on a Brother machine and I do not want to guess at file types. I told them what I have, and the file sewed nicely the first time.”
“The prices are easy to understand. I measure the design, I pay, and I get the file back. No back-and-forth about stitch counts.”
“I sent a church logo that was a little fuzzy. They asked one clear question and then made a file that looked tidy on the shirts.”

How do you decide the price?+

How soon will I get the file?+
Your file is delivered in 24–48 hours. If a picture is hard to read, we will write to you before we start.
I do not know what file my machine needs. What should I pick?+
Choose “I'm not sure” and tell us the brand of your machine in the notes — Brother, Janome, Singer, and so on. We will send the right type.
What if I need a small change?+
If the file does not sew the way it should because of our work, we will adjust it. Please send a photo of the sew-out if you can.
What kind of picture should I send?+
A clear photo, a logo, or a drawing. Bigger, sharper pictures are easier. A phone photo can work if the edges are easy to see.
How do I pay?+
You pay with a card on Stripe. You will see the total on the form, then Stripe will take the payment.
Is this cheap embroidery digitizing, or will there be extra fees?+
The price on the form is the price. $5.99, $7.99, or $9.99 by the longest side. No stitch-count quote and no extra charge for ordinary 24–48 hour delivery.
What does your embroidery digitizing service include?+
A person digitizes your picture or logo and emails up to two machine files (such as DST, PES, or JEF). If our file does not sew as it should, we will adjust it.
