The Logo Digitizing is the latest trend in the world of embroidery. Embroidery Digitizing has totally changed the views & thoughts of people regarding logo designing. You can digitize your logo for embroidery easily with the help of professional embroidery digitizers or by learning the embroidery digitizing software & machine operations. Digitizing just makes your logo more mature , clear and attractive compared to non- digitizable logos. I also wanted a logo for my team dress to be designed & digitized , I tried out searching online for various software and respective working giving various formats .emp. dmt, etc. as output. Which has to be further processed to embroidery machine to obtain the desired product.

How to "digitize" my logo for embroidery?

point of contention, they said there's probably a way to do it yourself but they didn't know how. if you wish to use their service pay the fee. or do like others say and learn embroidery and get the machines and do it all yourself.
just because there might be a way around the
$50 fee, or that you might be able to rasterize it, you will likely have to find someone else to do it, if it is not compatible with their software or hardware.

Most good software to digitize cost around 8000 to start and go up from there so 50 is not alot to ask for a job that most people do not have the ability to do. If you want cheap it will look cheap. Spend the 50 and get quality work.
Wow. Just...wow.
You'd think someone as condescending as you would at least have some basic inkling of an idea of what they're talking about. You clearly don't.
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raster_graphics
Image storage
Most computer images are stored in raster graphics formats or compressed variations, including GIF, JPEG, and PNG, which are popular on the World Wide Web.
GIF and JPEG are raster file formats. I'm not sure why you are bringing up rasters since it is totally irrelevant to what the OP is talking about. I guess you just enjoy being a condescending piece of work but you're just not smart enough for the task.
The format needed by the embroidery machine is most likely *not* a raster but a set of needle and thread paths like a plotter. More like the file you send to a 3D printer from your slicer as opposed to the 3D Cad file you make and import into the slicer.

You know....vector is basically the opposite of raster. So you're saying that first it needs to be rasterized, then converted to vector.

Converting to outlines won't help with embroidery. Also, taking a jpeg and selecting "convert to outlines" won't change the jpeg at all - it will do nothing. Converting to outlines is, for instance, for taking live fonts and changing them to a static shape. You can, however, select a jpeg and convert it to a (very crude) vector with the live paint tool and expand tool, but again, that has nothing to do with embroidery. It's just changing a jpeg to a vector file.
"Digitizing" for embroidery is simply taking an vector image and converting it to a format that plots out thread paths and densities, as someone else said above. You can't do that with illustrator. The people you deal with probably accept the vector file and do the digitizing on their own software.
[doublepost=1503009136][/doublepost]Which digitizing program did you find for $10?
He sent it to someone to digitize it for $10. Probably crappy work from India or China. I use Wilcom Embroidery Studio for my digitizing. I've been doing it for 25+ years.
any Graphic designer can do that. is a format. you need to know what brand and machine model is used for the embroidery. with a PC and the correct software you export the format and let them have it. If they can't work with your logo you need to pay that amount requested. it worth the try.
You're wrong on every count. Just because you can do graphic design doesn't mean you can digitize for embroidery. What tatami spacing do you need for sewing well on pique fabrics? What is a good pull compensation value for fleece? Do you know how to do center for caps? The list goes on.
Also, for a digitizer, the machine brand and model have no bearing at all for digitizing. Most good digitizers will want to know what you are sewing on i.e. caps, pique, cotton, twill, etc.

Yep digitizing software is very industry specific, thus the cost. I paid in the neighborhood of $20,000 for my software back when I first started. The prices have actually come down.
I’m pretty sure you have that backwards. Most embroidery machines require a vector file not a raster. All GIF and jpeg files are raster.
Embroidery machines only accept digitized embroidery files like Tajima .DST, Barudan .UXX, etc.\
For digitizing, virtually any image file is usuable for a good digitizer. I've been doing it for 25+ years and I've used crappy GIF's and even hand drawn images. In this day and age, most of my customers provide a PDF, EPS, AI file. I'll size it to what I need and export a 600dpi BMP and it's perfect to work from! I still want to record a demo of me digitizing for you guys.
Digitizing logo for embroidery can’t be done neither in Photoshop nor in illustrator. For this
1. You have to buy embroidery software like wilcom or pulse (expensive).
2. Learn embroidery digitizing skill (it takes enough time to learn).
Then you will be able to do this.
It’s far better to get work done from embroidery digitizers.
Just you need to send your logo picture to digitizer.
Recently I have used this company https://zeedigitizing.com which is excellent in quality and cheap in pricing.

Step 1: The first step is to import your brand's logo into the embroidery digitizing software. The uploaded file should be in a machine-readable format, such as JPG or PNG, and then cropped to fit the software's particular needs.
Step 2: After you've uploaded your logo, make sure it's the size you want it to be on your product. This is the final size of the logo that will be applied to the garment.
Step 3: Select a stitch style, such as a straight stitch, fill stitch, or satin stitch, based on the type of stitching you want for your logo. Each stitch has its own set of criteria, feel, and length that determine the design's final appearance.
Step 4: After choosing the stitch type, the following step is to choose the stitch's direction. This specifies the direction in which the stitch should fall on the cloth.
Step 5: Now that all of the primary criteria have been chosen, it's time to choose the colour scheme for the logo digitization threads. Colors on the thread should match the colours on the logo.
Step 6: The file is now ready to be transmitted to the embroidery machine through a flashcard, USB cable, or any other method compatible with the embroidery digitizing software.
Step 7: The final step is to set up the machine for the logo digitising and embroidery procedure. The needles, threads, sequence, and orientation are all decided during this process. It's crucial to arrange the fabric in the actual loop for embroidery after you've established the machine's guidelines.

Obviously a VERY simplified explanation but a very good one! Step 4 can take a few minutes up to a full day or more depending on experience. Most every image will have a combination of stitch types (statin, running, tatami) and some more advanced ones. There are also considerations like pull compensation depending on fabric and underlay. Also you want to optimize connecting your objects to minimize the machine stopping and trimming and even color changes. I’ve been digitizing for 32 years and still develop new techniques.
