Why Is Digital Embroidery Better Than Hand Stitched Embroidery?

Everywhere you look, there is an increase in embroidery. It is not just a form of art. Today, designers are also using it to add small, intricate pieces of embroidery to their garments. The only issue? Hand embroidery is taking a long time. Especially if you run a business that focuses on embroidered designs, you probably do not have the time to hand-stitch every item.

This is where digitized embroidery comes in. More and more artists, designers, and even hobbyists are now going digital. In this article, we will explore why digitalized embroidery can, be superior to a hand-stitched alternative.

The Basics of Digitized Embroidery

Digitized embroidery, also called machine embroidery, was first and foremost intended to speed up the entire process of embroidery. Essentially, a computer/machine lets you construct a template for your concept of embroidery. These patterns are then transferred to whatever cloth you choose to design, and they can be sized accordingly – no more measuring crises!

The Benefits of Digitized Embroidery

First, you know how easy it is to make a mistake when you are dealing with hand embroidery. Plus, "undoing" the mistake also means that you will also have to "undo a lot of your work. Not only does this cost you time, but it can also cost you additional materials – not to mention, it is extremely frustrating. Digitized embroidery is error-free, which ensures that your style will not look like your pre-schooler sewed it. Plus, it is not just the sewing process that can make things go wrong by hand. If you make a single error in your hand-drawn pattern, you are going to have to throw it all away.

The digital alternative means that all is right for the first time. Finally, when you are working on a piece that takes a long time, it is a lot more likely to get dirty. You know what it is like to clean a hand-stitched item. Think of how many objects your hands meet in the daytime. It is not like you are really going to clean your hands every time you pick up your project again. Digitized embroidery guarantees that the finished product really looks like one.

Of course, it is also a much better choice for those who are starting a company, or who suddenly had a concept take off and now need to deliver the product to anxious customers.

If you are operating on your own digitized computer, or if you are going through another business, the whole process is done much faster. No waiting for template permissions, or several, time-consuming pattern edits.
