What applique digitizing is
Applique digitizing turns your logo into a stitch file. The file tells the machine where to sew the placement line, the tack-down and the final border, so the result is a clean fabric shape with a neat edge. We digitize applique for left chest logos, caps, jackets and team wear.
We digitize the file and you stitch it on your own machine. If you would rather have the finished pieces, see below. Looking at another placement? See left chest, hat or jacket back digitizing.
How it works
- Send your artwork. Choose the size and the file format your machine reads.
- We digitize by hand. We set the file up for your fabric and placement.
- Check your proof. We send a real sew-out proof before production so you can check and approve it.
- Download your files. Create your account to place the order, then download your files from it and start stitching.
Need the finished product too?
Digitizing is our main service: you get the stitch file and run it on your own machine. If you would rather not stitch it yourself, we can also supply ready-to-wear embroidered garments delivered in the USA, plus ready-to-use products such as applique patches and custom patches from 10 pieces. See patches pricing or get a patch quote. For garments, contact us with the item, the quantity and your logo, and we reply with the details.

Minor edits are free. Tell us what to change, such as a color, a border or the size, and we update the file. A change that moves the design to a larger size tier or adds or removes elements can change the price.
Regular embroidery fills the whole design with thread. Applique uses a piece of fabric for the large shape, so the file also includes a placement line, a tack-down and a finishing border. That is why applique is digitized as its own job.
