Power Digitizing is a US embroidery digitizing company and custom patch maker. Since 2010 we have made machine-ready embroidery files, clean vector artwork, and finished custom patches for contract decorators, uniform suppliers, print shops, and apparel brands.

Closed end caps, clean foam cuts, and dense satin stitches that hold 3–5 mm foam in place with no foam showing through.

Founded in 2010. Every design is digitized and vectorized by hand, without auto software shortcuts.
Sewn on Tajima, Barudan, Brother, and Ricoma machines around the world.
Standard files in 12–24 hours, with same-day rush files in 2–4 hours.
Free minor revisions until your file runs without puckering or thread breaks.
Power Digitizing was founded by embroidery digitizers and vector artists who left corporate jobs to follow their passion for embroidery technology. We don't use one-click auto-digitizing software, which ruins stitch density, breaks needles, and distorts cap seams. Every file we deliver is digitized by hand, proofed, and set up for production.

A left-chest logo on a performance polo needs a very different file than a 3D puff cap or a full denim jacket back. Here is how we digitize for each placement:

Set up for Barudan, Tajima, Brother, SWF, Melco, and Ricoma multi-head machines.
“The real quality in embroidery is in the details you don't see: the density that prevents thread breaks, and the underlay that keeps edges sharp.”

Blurry JPGs, pixelated phone photos, and scans ruin both print and embroidery. Our illustrators redraw your artwork point by point in Adobe Illustrator, cleaning rough edges, smoothing curves, and separating colors. See our vector conversion service.
Exact PMS color codes for consistent ink and thread colors.
AI, EPS, SVG, CDR, and high-resolution PDF, ready for any printer.
Clean layers and underbase traps for screen printing and DTF.
Fast vector files so your presses don't sit idle.

Finished custom patches, made from the same artwork we prepare in house.
Along with digitizing files, Power Digitizing makes finished custom patches with iron-on, Velcro, and sew-on backing for uniforms, hats, and merchandise:

100%, 75%, or 50% thread coverage with merrowed or laser-cut borders. A top choice for uniforms, scouts, law enforcement, and clubs.

Durable, waterproof soft PVC with 2D or 3D raised detail. Made for military, outdoor gear, and Velcro-backed tactical patches.

Soft, fuzzy yarn loops on heavy felt. The classic choice for letterman jackets, hoodies, and streetwear.

Laser-engraved, debossed, or foil-stamped genuine and faux leather. A favorite for trucker hats and beanies.

Fine, tightly woven threads that show small text and detail that regular embroidery can't.

Full-color printing on twill for photos and gradients, finished with a classic merrowed border.
Every design is digitized, checked in stitch simulation software, and reviewed by a senior quality checker before it is sent.
Tajima, Barudan, Brother, SWF, Melco, Ricoma, Happy Japan, Toyota, ZSK, Janome, Husqvarna, Bernina, Pfaff, and Singer.
