How it works
EMB keeps the full design: objects, stitch types, underlay, pull compensation, lettering and thread charts. Digitizers keep the EMB as the master and export DST, PES or any other machine format from it.
If you order custom digitizing, ask for the working file as well as the machine file. It makes later edits far easier and cleaner.
