What shop owners
are saying.

Pulled from emails and Slack messages with our regulars. Names used with permission.

★★★★★

"First sew came off the machine clean. No restitching, no thread breaks. That has literally never happened with another digitizer."

Marcus Vey
Foxhound Co. · Embroidery lead
★★★★★

"We send Stitchform our worst files. Faxed scans, phone photos, napkin sketches. They come back ready to run."

Priya Anand
Pressroom 18 · Owner
★★★★★

"Our agency uses them for every retro logo restoration. Vector files come back layered, named, and on a clean artboard."

Still curious? Email hello@stitchform.co or text the studio at (415) 555-0142.

How fast is the actual turnaround? +

Average is 4 to 6 hours during studio hours (7am to 9pm PT, Monday to Saturday). Rush jobs under 2 hours are available with a $12 fee. Files sent after midnight are usually back before you open the shop.

Do you use auto trace or AI to digitize? +

No. Every embroidery file is hand punched by a senior digitizer in Wilcom or Pulse. Every vector file is rebuilt manually in Illustrator or CorelDRAW. Auto traced files fall apart on press, we have seen too many.

What fabric and machine info should I send? +

Fabric type (pique, fleece, cap, towel, performance), garment placement (left chest, cap front, jacket back), final dimensions, and your machine model. The more you tell us, the better the push and pull compensation we can build in.

Are revisions really unlimited? +

Yes, for 30 days from delivery. Most files only need one round of edits, but if a fabric change or design tweak means we need to re-punch the whole thing, we do it free.

How does billing work for high volume shops? +

Shops doing more than 40 files a month get a studio account: net 15 invoicing, volume rates from the first file, and a dedicated digitizer who learns your style over time.

Can you match Pantone, thread brands, or existing artwork? +

Pantone solid coated, Madeira Classic and Polyneon, Isacord, Robison Anton, all mapped. Share a swatch or color code and we'll match. Existing garment? Send a photo, we match by eye.
