| Q. |
Why do I need any Design Origination
if I have already got art work? |
| A. |
To operate an Embroidery Machine
your Artwork has to be turned into one of several Embroidery
Machine Formats. This is a skilled job and is one of
the main elements of a high quality Embroidery.
|
| Q. |
Does the embroidered garment require
special care? |
| A. |
No. Most designs will result in the
garment demise before the embroidery. Strong bleaches,
hot water wash, and very hot dryers should be avoided.
The hot water and dryer will shrink the garment, but
not effect the embroidery, resulting in a "puckered"
look to your design. We also recommend turning the garment
wrong side out to avoid possible damage from other garments,
buttons, hooks, zippers, etc.
|
| Q. |
Can you Originate my Design for me? |
| A. |
Yes we have a proven experience of
producing high quality Embroidery Designs for leading
Companies Sports Clubs and Schools.
|
| Q. |
What are hoop marks? |
| A. |
Each garment that is to be embroidered
must be placed in an embroidery hoop. The hoops are
no different in use than those used in needle point
or hand embroidery for hundreds of years. They will
however leave a slight circular mark around the design.
During the embroidery process the garment must move
while the sewing head of the machine stays in the same
spot, the hoop allows a firm grip on the garment to
insure a quality finished design.
|
| Q. |
How much does Design Origination cost?
|
| A. |
Send us your design image with other
required information and we will give you a quote.
|
| Q. |
What is backing? |
| A. |
Backing is a fabric or layers of
fabric that is placed on the opposite side of the embroidery
inside the garment. The main purpose of the backing
is two fold. The first is to stabilize the garment during
the stitching and the second is to stabilize the design
over its intended uses.
|
| Q. |
What is Digitizing? |
| A. |
Digitizing is a combination of artistic
arrangement and computer process that takes a design,
photo, drawing etc. and converts it to an embroidery
design.
|
| Q. |
How does Digitizing work? |
| A. |
In most cases, it starts with scanning
the item or working from a bitmap or other format. The
digitizer of an embroidery design then manipulates the
image. The digitizing program helps guide each needle
entry. Too many stitches will tear or distort the fabric,
and distort any lettering in the design. Too few will
leave the garment fabric showing through.
