Patch It Up Pro
Patch It Up Pro for Embroidery Shops
Short answer: Embroidery shops lose the most time on two jobs: cleaning customer artwork into digitizing-ready vector and mocking up proofs for approval. Patch It Up Pro handles both. The embroidery designer simplifies artwork automatically, and the hat mockup builder puts it on real Richardson, Flexfit, and Yupoong blanks in seconds.
Why shops use it
- Send digitizer-ready artwork first try: Auto-simplification converts complex logos into embroidery-friendly vector. Send to your digitizer or digitizing service and skip the cleanup round.
- Mock up hats in 30 seconds: Drop any design onto Richardson, Flexfit, Yupoong, New Era blanks in every color. Send approval proofs instantly instead of ordering sample hats.
- Match thread colors automatically: Madeira, Robison-Anton, Isacord, and Sulky palettes load as presets. Upload artwork and thread colors match on import.
- Sell embroidered hats on a storefront: Embed the designer on Shopify or any site. Customers design their own hat, pick thread colors, and order without an email chain.
Frequently asked questions
- Does Patch It Up Pro digitize embroidery files?
- The platform produces digitizing-ready vector artwork, not stitch files. Send the clean vector to your digitizer or digitizing service and receive the final DST, PES, or EMB file. The artwork-cleanup round is already done.
- Can I show clients hat mockups in different colors before ordering?
- Yes. Batch-generate the same design on 10 blank colors in one export. Listings and client proofs cover the full colorway without a photo shoot, manufacturing sample order, or Photoshop session.
- Which thread libraries are supported?
- Madeira Classic Rayon and Polyneon, Robison-Anton Super Brite, Isacord, and Sulky. Auto-matching runs on every upload and you can override any thread per area manually.
