Common embroidery digitizing mistakes
Tiny type, photo fills, and the wrong size are the usual problems. How to avoid them when you order digitizing.
The most common mistake is type that is too small. If you cannot read the words on a printed 2-inch proof, thread will not save them. Ask us to drop or enlarge the motto.
The second mistake is treating a photograph like a logo. Faces and sunsets need a different kind of work. A flat logo or a simple drawing is what cheap embroidery digitizing is built for.
The third mistake: the wrong inches
People type 12 inches when they meant 3. The file will be huge and the price will be $9.99. Measure the space on the shirt. Enter that number. Our embroidery digitizing service follows the form, not a guess.
