The Role of Digitizing in Patch Creation
Before you can create an embroidery patch, your design must be digitized that is, converted into a file that embroidery machines can understand. This process, called embroidery digitizing, maps out every stitch, thread direction, and density required to bring your image to life in thread form.
That’s where Absolute Digitizing comes in.

How the Process Works: From Design to Patch
Creating your custom patch with Absolute Digitizing is quick and simple:
1. Submit Your Design
Send your logo, drawing, or concept as a JPG, PNG, PDF, or vector file. You don’t need to be a designer just provide your idea.
2. Expert Digitizing
Their team converts your image into a machine-readable stitch file, considering details like fabric type, stitch count, color changes, and patch dimensions.
3. Receive Your File
Once digitized, you’ll receive your embroidery file via email. You can then use it with any embroidery machine or send it to a manufacturer for patch production.
4. Produce the Patches
Use the digitized file to create your own patches, or partner with a patch manufacturer to get them made in bulk.
What Makes a Great Embroidery Patch Design?
Not sure if your design is patch-ready? Here are a few tips to get the best results:
- Keep it bold: Fine lines and tiny text can be hard to stitch. Go for clear shapes and strong contrast.
- Limit colors: Most embroidery machines use a fixed number of thread colors. Stick to around 6–8 colors for simplicity.
- Choose the right size: Make sure your patch size works for the placement—shoulder patches, chest badges, and back patches all have different size standards.
- Use high-res artwork: A clean image makes for cleaner digitizing and better stitch quality.
If you’re unsure, the Absolute Digitizing team can guide you through the design process to optimize for embroidery.
