I will talk about what is “Embroidery Digitizing” and how you can use AI (and more) to make real money from it.
Let me be honest — designing embroidery is a great skill to make money.
If you don’t know what it is, well, it’s basically the art of creating designs with thread on fabric.
Think of it like drawing, but instead of using a pencil, you’re using a needle and colorful threads.
And the best part?
You can create some mind-blowing embroidery designs on specific fabrics — even on human clothes — and sell them online or offline.
But designing embroidery isn’t so easy. It takes skill, and it’s time-consuming.
Back in the day, people used to create embroidery by hand. Then machines made it faster through the process of embroidery digitizing.
And now? We can use AI to make the process even smoother and way faster.
And that’s exactly what I want to talk about.
To be precise — I want to talk about Embroidery Digitizing, and how you can use AI (and more) to make money from it.
Let’s get started.
Before we talk about how we can use AI, let’s get clear on what embroidery digitizing actually is and how it works.
You may know that designing embroidery by hand is slow and time-consuming. That’s why we have embroidery machines — they create precise, beautiful designs much faster.
But if you want your machine to stitch a design like a logo, text, or illustration, you need a special digital file that the embroidery machine can read.
Well, this process of converting a design into a digital embroidery file that the machine can read and stitch onto fabric is called Embroidery Digitizing.
And this digitized file contains all the instructions for the machine, telling it exactly how to stitch the design:
- What type of stitches to use
- Where to place each stitch
- How to layer stitches for the right texture and appearance
- The stitch density, angles, and underlay needed for a clean, polished design
Sounds simple, right?
Well, it’s not as easy as it sounds. Creating a good digital embroidery file takes a good amount of time and skill.
And if you mess up even one of these things — your entire design falls apart. The stitches look sloppy, the texture’s off, and you could even end up ruining the fabric.
