What Happens Before You Re-Digitize: Removing Old Embroidery the Right Way

What Happens Before You Re-Digitize: Removing Old Embroidery the Right Way. Someone hands over a shirt with an old design on it and asks for something new stitched in the exact same spot. Sounds simple until you realize the old thread has to come out clean first, or the new design ends up sitting on damaged fabric. That one step gets skipped more often than it should, and it shows in the final result, usually as puckered fabric or a design that sits crooked no matter how good the digitizing. Proper removal is crucial for a professional finish.
