Digitize/Punch
The act of creating an embroidery design with the help of a specialized digitizing software system. The term “punch” originates from the first systems designed to create embroidery patterns. On these early systems, the design data was “punched” into a card or tape to be read into the machine. Digitize is the more modern term for punching, reflecting the computerized method of converting artwork into a series of commands to be read by an embroidery machine’s computer.
