Our Applique Digitizing Process
From initial concept finalization to test stitch outs, our careful process results in flawless applique embroidery every time:
• Design Analysis
We carefully evaluate your existing artwork, standard machine formats needed, fabric types, overlapping and placement preferences. This sets the stage for precision digitization.
• Outline Finalization
Core to visible, dimensional applique is expert outline stitching. We create clean satin stitch borders that neatly finish raw fabric edges for a smooth overall form.
• Fabric Layer Separation
For multi-fabric appliques, we carefully separate base layers from top materials through distinct color codes. This allows effortless fabric placement during production.
• Tackdown Stitches
To prevent fabric shifting, we strategically place tackdown stitches that anchor top layers neatly to base materials without puckering.
• Trims & Sequins
For enhanced ornamentation, sequins and ribbon trims can be added along applique borders alongside the requisite pattern runs.
• Testing & Analysis
We carefully test digitized applique files on a variety of fabric types like cotton, satin, twill etc. to ensure tackdown efficiency before final delivery.
• Minor Tweaking
If any minor revisions are needed post-testing, our digitizers promptly incorporate tweaks and provide final production-ready files.
Communicating closely at every stage, we ensure the digitized output matches your creative vision!
