Step 4- Selection of Stitch Class

Next, our technical expertise and creativity will determine which stitch class is optimal for each part of your logo for a perfect sew-out. Diverse stitch categories include running stitch, satin stitch and fill stitch. Factors such as the trajectory of the needle stitch, quantity of the underlying stitch, and stitch density are dependent on logo embroidery thread colors, stabilizer or backing material and much more.

Step 5-Push or Pull

When converting your logo for embroidery, it is important to either push or pull the stitches on your logo design to complete its professional appearance.

The penetration point of the stitch is the exact area where the needle presses into the fabric of your logo, and links its upper thread with the bobbin thread. The interaction of these two threads produces a pulling effect. If the cloth is elastic or there is an elongated stitch, the pulling effect will be amplified. Our digitizer will adjust this by making the stitch longer in your logo embroidery, and this is known as pull compensation in the sphere of embroidery digitizing.

The push portion in the logo digitizing is the open part and is located on the opposite sides of the points of penetration. If need be, we will reduce that section and bring it closer together. This is known as push compensation and the scale of its application is also dependent on the amount and type of underlay we utilize. Throughout the journey of embroidery digitizing, we keep checking the output work against your requirements.
