Why shops switch to us
Cheap files cost more on the machine
A $10 file that puckers, leaves gaps or breaks thread every few minutes wastes blanks, thread and machine time. We digitize every design by hand, for the fabric and the placement you're actually sewing.
Hand-digitized, never auto-traced
Underlay, pull compensation, density and stitch angles are set by a person who knows how thread behaves on pique, caps and fleece.
Files in 24 hours
Most small logos are back the same business day. Need it sooner? Rush files arrive within 6 business hours.
Every format included
DST, PES, EXP, JEF, VP3 and more, plus a PDF preview with stitch count, size and color sequence. No per-format fees.
Pay after you approve
You see the stitch preview before you pay a cent. Edits are free until it sews right, and you own the file.
