what's "digitizing" embroidery ??
and how did you find this board??
were you simply doing i'net cold calls , or did someone refer you to here?
Doesn't matter to me one way or another, I'm just curious
..l.T.A.
After spending a few years at embroidery and screenprinting, I can tell you meat that digitizing is a process were the embroiderer takes an image or logo, and by using software created specifically for this purpose,(Pulse Signature, Wilcom....) recreates your pic or logo and converts it into a readable format for the computer-driven embroidery machines, installs it onto a floppy disc (I'm sure newer machines use a more modern drive system) I never learned how to "digitize", but I can install the disc and load a shirt and embroider the item. It's all automated from start to finish, unless you have a thread break or a bobbin run out of thread. Once your logo is digitaized and loaded onto a disc or usb stick, it is there forever.
I have 2 - 4 head and 2 - single head Tajima commercial machines. They are just collecting dust at the moment. Here's a few pics....the bottom one is a 6-color, 4-place screenprint manual press.
