Flat embroidery
The everyday left chest, sleeve and back placement work, tuned to the garment fabric.

Tell us the machine, the fabric and the placement. The file is built for that combination rather than converted into it afterwards.

Native and editable sources
The EMB source is yours, so any digitizer can edit the design later. Most low-cost services only hand over a DST, which cannot be properly re-scaled.

Embroidery types we digitize for
Density, underlay and pull compensation change with every one of these. That is the work you are paying for.
Bridal and heavy formals
Dense hand-look fills, layered colour blending and the underlay heavy work needs to sit flat on chiffon or net.
Sequin, zari and cording
Sequin devices, cording and tape work sequenced for the specific machine and attachment you run.
Allover jaal repeats
Repeat units that tile with no visible join, with density kept low enough that the fabric still drapes.
Neckline and daman panels
Galla, yoke, hem and border panels built as a matched set so the suit reads as one design rather than four separate files.
3D puff
Foam-ready caps and outerwear with the lock stitches and travel paths that stop foam showing through.
Applique
Fabric-saving placement, tack-down and cover stitching for large areas and team wear.
Caps and structured fronts
Centre-out sequencing and stitch angles set for the curve and the seam.
Jacket backs and large format
Sequenced to hold registration across a big design without puckering or warping.
Monograms and names
Clean small lettering, team name lists and badge sets priced as one job.
Towels, fleece and knits
Higher underlay and pile-appropriate density so the design does not sink into the pile.
Photo stitch and specialty
Photo stitch, chenille, sequin and cross stitch handled on request.
Why hand punching still matters
Auto-digitizing software reads pixels. It cannot know that a fleece needs heavier underlay, that a structured cap has to sew centre out, or that 3 mm lettering will not hold on a knit. Those decisions are the difference between a file that sews once and a file that runs a thousand pieces without a thread break.
