Before a machine can stitch your logo, your artwork has to be translated into a file that tells it exactly where to place every stitch, in what direction, in what order, and in what color. That translation is digitizing, and it's skilled, hands-on work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWe price digitizing as a flat fee based on stitch count.
