Patch digitizing is the process of converting a design, logo, or artwork into a digital embroidery file that can be read by an embroidery machine. Unlike standard graphic files (like JPG or PNG), embroidery machines require specialized file formats (such as DST, PES, or EXP) that contain precise instructions about stitch type, direction, density, and color changes. https://squarespaceblog.com/unlocking-the-power-of-patch-digitizing-for-custom-embroidery/
