For Embroidery Designers

Clean artwork for digitizing.
From any source.

Clean-up, vectorization and colour reduction for embroidery artwork, so the file you hand to the digitizer is ready to work from.

Embroidery digitizing starts from the artwork, and the digitizer's job is faster when that artwork is clean, has a limited set of colours and comes with written colour codes. Texloom Studio prepares that hand-off: remove backgrounds and scan texture, sharpen soft references, reduce the artwork to the number of thread colours you plan to use, match each colour to a coded library colour, and convert line work to clean vectors. Stitch types, densities and stitch files stay with your digitizing software.

Why embroidery teams choose Texloom

Challenges we solve

Sketched and scanned artwork has soft, noisy edges that make digitizing harder.
Vectorize Studio converts raster art to clean vector shapes and exports SVG, EPS or PDF, with a precision mode for fine detail.
Complex artwork has far more colours than the job can stitch.
Separation Studio reduces the artwork to the colour count you choose (2 to 12) and puts each colour on its own layer, so the digitizer can assign one thread per layer.
Approved colours get lost between the proof and the thread selection.
The Texloom Colour Library gives each colour a code, hex and Lab values, which your digitizing software or thread chart can be matched against.
Photos and scans need cleaning before they can be vectorized.
Background Remover, the Fabric Scan Cleaner and Watermark Remover (for images you have the rights to) prepare the source first.
Workflow

From idea to production-ready file

  1. 1

    Clean the source

    Remove the background, clean scan texture, and sharpen or upscale a small reference if you need to.

  2. 2

    Reduce to your thread count

    Separation Studio reduces the design to the number of colours you set and gives you one layer per colour.

  3. 3

    Record the colour codes

    Match each colour to its closest Texloom library colour and note the codes for thread selection.

  4. 4

    Vectorize the line work

    Vectorize Studio converts the artwork to SVG, EPS or PDF for digitizing software that imports vectors.

  5. 5

    Hand off to digitizing

    Send the vector file, the layered colours and the colour list. The digitizer sets stitch types and densities in their software.

Industry FAQ

Questions about embroidery on Texloom

No. Stitch files come from digitizing software. Texloom prepares the artwork that feeds the digitizing step: a clean vector, a reduced palette and a written colour list.
