Upon signing up for an account with U.S. Digitizing and putting a credit card on file, you agreed to the ”Terms and Conditions” as well as the “Privacy Policy” set forth by our company. In doing so, you are allowing U.S. Digitizing to charge your credit card on file once your digitized files have been completed.
An edit is a correction to the digitizing file for a quality purpose or perhaps a color change is needed. A revision usually occurs when the original design/artwork is changed in any way after the design has been digitized to match the provided artwork. Edits are normally free, whereas a revision may constitute a new charge to make the requested changes, which prior approval is obtained before the revision is done.
Yes, if bad artwork submitted or if a previous sew-out is provided as artwork, this may delay the digitizing turnaround. Clean vector art is always best, but we can work off of just about anything, it will just delay the digitizing process as we may have to send the logo to our art department, so that clean vector art can be created for the digitizer to work off of.
No, we do not use any typeset or stock fonts as part of our digitizing process. All orders are digitized by hand by one of our experienced digitizers.
The files we give you are ready to go and when you download the file directly from the site, you should then take it directly to your machine. If you try opening our files with your software, your preset software settings will take over and corrupt the file we provided to you on the site and will not sew correctly. If you alter the files we provide in anyway, we cannot guarantee the quality of the sew out as we have no control over your software settings. If you need a color change or need the design sized within 10-15%, we will gladly make those changes for you.
As with any storage facility, it costs money to store your belongings and it works the same for data. As long as your account is current, meaning you have done an order with us in the last 6 months we will gladly host your files on our site. So as long as your account is in good standing and you regularly put in orders, your previous orders will be available to you through your account.

Once your design is complete, you will receive an email with a link to you design. From this point you will be directed to your invoice at which time PayPal will accept your payment. Once payment has been made your embroidery files will appear attached to the original order. You can click directly on the file and save them to your desired location.
Standard turnaround for most orders under 10,000 stitches is 24-48 hours, but sometimes more complex designs do take us longer to complete. Our digitizers are experts at their crafts, but there is no exact science to the digitizing process and sometimes designs do take us longer than the 24-48 hour turnaround.
US Digitizing provides you with a pdf virtual sew-out of your designs. We find that these are the most effective way to portray your sewn out designs. These are also much easier to forward via email to your embroiders and customers. These virtual pdf sew- outs may reflect unevenness within some of the lettering, however this is due to push-pull compensation.
When digitizing a design, we have to account for movement within your hooped fabric. In order to do this we will over compensate certain letters to allow for them to appear straight on your particular garments. The virtual pdf sew out may appear uneven; however we assure you that is will not appear that way when sewn.
No. U.S Digitizing is determined to provide you with the best possible embroidery file for your specific application. We consider edits to be corrections to the digitizing for quality purposes. If for any reason you are unhappy with the quality of your design, we will work with you to correct the problem. However, if you need a change to a design that is not quality related and requires new digitizing after the fact, there may be a charge to make the changes. We will notify you up front if any additional cost is necessary before making these kind of changes.
Once you log into your account you can access any previously digitized designs by selecting View All Orders. All of your files will remain on our server and you will have full access to retrieve them at anytime. There is no time limit on the availability of your designs. Our servers are constantly backed up, so there is no need to worry that you would lose any designs.
