To embroider a shirt or baseball cap, the customer need a digitizing file sometimes referred to a tape. This is because the old embroidery machines used punched paper tapes and a tape reader to operate. With the advancements of new technology and the use of computerized embroidery, 3.5" floppy diskettes are now more common in the industry. An Embroidery Disk and a Digitizing Tape are similar references. A digitizing tape/disk contains all the instructions, which tell the embroidery machine what to stitch on the garment.
