Custom Embroidery

Digitizing is the process of converting artwork into a digital code that can be read by today's advanced embroidery machines. The digital image file of your logo or emblem that you send us is a starting point, but the "digitized" logo that we create will be in a format that only embroidery machines can use. This digital code provides the instructions to the embroidery machine's operating system which, in turn, tells the embroidery machine's frame how to sew the design.

Digitizing is both a technical and a creative process. It's much more than most people might imagine. A lot of people think their emblem design will just be 'scanned'. While the digitizer may begin with a scan or a graphic file, he or she has to tell the embroidery machine where to put each stitch, and what order to sew your design - including where to stop, trim the threads, and switch to a different color. Digitizing is not an on/off switch. There are widely varying levels of proficiency and artistry out there. Poor digitization WILL result in a poor-looking emblem design. Saving a few dollars on a one-time digitizing fee and ending up with a poor-looking logo is no bargain. Nothing is more important to the appearance of your logo than the digitizing.

Maquis Quartermaster can be your one stop shopping for digitizing, custom embroidery, and all the items you show them off. Maquis Quartermaster can take your club logo, turn it into a embroidery ready design, and put it on whatever you need. Typically the process takes a few weeks, but wether you need patches, shirts, or t-shirts, Maquis Quartermaster can do the work for you.

Once your logo has been digitized and is in the system, we can set up a custom Category under "Custom Embroidery" FOR your chapter or club to order all the items that you wish.
