Let’s look at the example artwork above. The quality of the original artwork is excellent and the digitizer will not have any trouble picking out the finer details. However, there are other areas which will make this design difficult to render in embroidery.Â
The size of the company name is too long, which means that when the text is enlarged to its proper size the logo will be too wide for a left chest application. The address on the second line is quite small and unsuitable for embroidery. Remember that the minimum size required for text to be legible is 1/4″ tall. The gradients in the circle are not reproducible in embroidery.Â
The fine details of the outline and on the bottom are not suitable for digitizing. The design is going to be embroidered onto a darker garment, so the dark text will not show up. There are also too many colors in the artwork to work in an embroidery design. The final design has been modified in many areas so it can be reliably reproduced in custom embroidery.
