Finding quality stock machine embroidery designs can be difficult and getting great custom digitizing is often expensive. This is where we can help. Art of Embroidery provides quality and affordable stock designs with instant download of the most common machine formats, plus our digitizing services are affordable and stitch-outs look great.
We are the original Art of Embroidery digitizing service, a woman-owned business established in 2004. Located in South-Central Pennsylvania (USA), all digitizing is performed in-house by our experienced staff. We are not related to any of the similarly titled books nor other businesses operating under the same name in Georgia, India, Pipersville, or any other location.
Affordable Digitizing Services
With our professional custom digitization services, you will receive a high-quality machine embroidery design file ready for use by your embroidery provider or on your own equipment. All digitizing is completed in-house, and each custom design is test-stitched on our equipment prior to delivery. If a design does not meet our quality standards, it is refined and tested again to ensure optimal results. You can be confident that every design you receive is carefully crafted, thoroughly tested, and guaranteed to meet the highest standards of quality.
Transform your organization’s logo, custom design, or photograph into high-quality embroidery. Embroidered designs offer superior durability compared to screen printing or direct-to-garment methods, while delivering a refined and professional appearance.
We do not price our digitizing services on a per-stitch basis, as we consider that approach outdated and not appropriate. Instead, we evaluate your artwork and provide a customized quote based on the overall complexity of the design and its embroidery requirements.
