Artwork That Works Beyond the Screen
Beautiful Designs Are Only the Beginning
Creating digital artwork has never been easier.
With AI image generators, online design platforms and automated vector conversion tools, almost anyone can create an attractive logo or illustration in minutes.
But there's one important difference:
A design that looks good on screen isn't necessarily ready for production.
Automated conversion tools can create files containing excessive anchor points, overlapping shapes, unnecessary paths, poorly defined edges and colours that aren't suitable for professional manufacturing.
These problems can cause difficulties when preparing artwork for:
- Embroidery machines
- DTF garment printing
- Vinyl cutting and weeding
- Signage production
- Screen printing
- Promotional merchandise
- Large-format printing
- Laser cutting and engraving
That's where Scottish Goose comes in.
We don't simply convert file formats.
We prepare artwork with its intended production method in mind.
Our goal is to provide clean, accurate and practical artwork that saves you time, reduces production problems and helps you achieve professional results.
Our Professional Artwork Services
Professional Logo Vectorisation
Turn Your Existing Artwork into Clean, Scalable Vectors
Have a logo saved as a JPG, PNG or low-resolution image?

- Vehicle graphics and signage
- Vinyl cutting

Professional Vectorisation — From £20
Embroidery Digitising
From Artwork to Professional Embroidery Files
Embroidery digitising is much more than converting an image into a machine-readable file.
Every design needs to be carefully planned to achieve the best possible stitching results.
At Scottish Goose, we understand embroidery production because we work with professional embroidery equipment ourselves.
Using specialist digitising software, we transform your artwork into embroidery files with consideration for:
- Stitch types and direction
- Stitch density
- Underlay
- Pull compensation
- Fabric characteristics
- Colour changes
- Design size and placement
- Efficient stitching sequences
Whether you need a small left-chest logo, a cap design or a larger garment decoration, we can help prepare your artwork for embroidery.
Suitable for:
- Workwear logos
- Polo shirts and hoodies
- Caps and hats
- Jackets and fleeces
- Sportswear
- Promotional textiles
- Personalised gifts
Available embroidery formats may include:
DST, PES, JEF, EXP and other compatible machine formats.
Please specify your embroidery machine, required design dimensions and intended fabric when ordering.
Professional Embroidery Digitising — From £20
Embroidery files are prepared for the specified size, fabric and application. Physical sew-out testing can be arranged as an additional service where available.
AI Artwork Cleanup & Reconstruction
AI Created It. We Make It Production Ready.
Artificial intelligence has opened up incredible creative opportunities.
However, AI-generated artwork often requires additional preparation before it can be used for professional printing, embroidery or vinyl cutting.
Common problems include:
- Irregular shapes and distorted details
- Excessive vector nodes
- Overlapping or disconnected paths
- Inconsistent outlines
- Unnecessary background elements
- Colours that are difficult to separate
- Details too small for embroidery
- Poor-quality automated vector tracing
Our artwork cleanup service helps transform your AI-generated designs into practical files suitable for their intended production method.
We can simplify shapes, reconstruct elements, improve outlines and prepare artwork for manufacturing.
Perfect for:
- AI-generated business logos
- Clothing and merchandise designs
- Custom illustrations
- Promotional graphics
- Vinyl cutting designs
- Embroidery artwork preparation
AI Artwork Cleanup — From £25
Vector Repair & File Rescue
Got a File That Just Won't Work?
We've all been there.
You've received a supposedly print-ready file, but when you open it in your design software, something isn't quite right.
Perhaps the cutting paths are broken, the shapes won't separate, or the design contains hundreds of unnecessary anchor points.
Don't start from scratch just yet!
Our Vector Repair & File Rescue service is designed to help resolve troublesome artwork.
We can help with:
- Broken or disconnected vector paths
- Excessive anchor points
- Poor-quality automatic tracing
- Unwanted overlapping shapes
- Incorrect cut lines
- Artwork that won't separate correctly
- Files requiring reconstruction
- Designs needing simplification for production
We'll assess your artwork and recommend the most practical solution.
Vector Repair — From £15
Print & Vinyl Artwork Preparation
Professionally Prepared Files for Printing and Cutting
Different production methods require different artwork preparation.
A design intended for DTF printing may need completely different treatment from artwork being prepared for vinyl cutting.
At Scottish Goose, we understand the importance of preparing files for the intended application.
Our services include:
DTF Printing Artwork
Preparing artwork with suitable dimensions, resolution, transparency and colour considerations for DTF printing workflows.
Vinyl Cutting Artwork
Creating clean vector cut paths, simplifying complicated shapes and preparing designs for cutting and weeding.
Signage Artwork
Preparing scalable graphics for signs, banners, window graphics and vehicle lettering.
Garment Decoration Artwork
Preparing artwork for printing or embroidery on T-shirts, hoodies, polos, jackets and other garments.
Production Artwork Preparation — From £25

Frequently Asked Questions
What is vectorisation?
Vectorisation is the process of recreating artwork using mathematical shapes and paths rather than pixels.
Unlike standard JPG or PNG images, vector artwork can be resized without losing sharpness.
This makes it particularly useful for logos, signage, vinyl cutting and professional printing.
Can you convert my JPG or PNG into an SVG?
Yes. We can recreate suitable JPG and PNG artwork as clean vector files.
The complexity of the original design determines how much reconstruction is required.
Is AI-generated vector artwork suitable for professional printing?
Sometimes, but not always.
Automated vectorisation tools can create unnecessary nodes, overlapping paths and irregular shapes.
For applications such as vinyl cutting and embroidery preparation, these problems may need to be corrected before production.
Can you convert a logo into an embroidery file?
Yes!
We offer professional embroidery digitising for logos and suitable illustrations.
We'll need to know the intended design size, fabric and embroidery machine format.
Can I use the same embroidery file on different garments?
Sometimes, but not always.
Different fabrics, garment types and design sizes may require adjustments to stitch density, underlay and other settings.
For the best results, embroidery files should be prepared for their intended application.
Do you provide DST and PES embroidery files?
Yes, we can supply these and other supported embroidery formats according to your requirements.
Please specify your preferred format when ordering.
How long does artwork preparation take?
Our standard target is 48 working hours for straightforward orders.
Complex designs, extensive reconstruction or additional revisions may require longer.
We'll advise you if your project needs additional production time.
Can you repair a vector file created by AI?
Yes. We can assess existing vector artwork and help correct problems such as excessive nodes, overlapping shapes, disconnected paths and unsuitable cut lines.
Will my artwork be completely editable?
This depends on the service and file formats selected.
For vectorisation projects, we can supply editable vector artwork in the agreed formats.
Some specialist production files, including machine embroidery formats, have different editing capabilities.
Can I request changes to my artwork?
Yes. Minor revisions can be accommodated according to the terms of your order.
More extensive alterations or changes to the original brief may require an additional charge.
Do you offer discounts for trade customers?
We welcome enquiries from businesses requiring regular vectorisation, digitising or production artwork preparation.
Please contact us to discuss trade requirements and potential volume pricing.
