The Problem

Vector artwork helps embroidery, but it is not the stitch file

Embroidery vendors often ask for better source artwork before digitizing. A clean vector file helps, but it is not the same as DST, PES, EXP, or another embroidery machine format.

The Fix

What VectorFixer does

I clean up the logo and simplify details where needed so your digitizer has clear artwork to work from. They will still need to create the stitch file.

FAQ

Embroidery Artwork Prep Questions

Do you create DST or PES embroidery files?

This service prepares clean vector source artwork. It does not create embroidery machine stitch files.

Will small details need changes?

Sometimes. Small text, thin lines, and gradients may need simplification.

Can I send the finished vector to my embroidery shop?

Yes. It gives the digitizer better source artwork.
