Digicat and DIY
The roots of the Digicat system are in the DIY space. The technology behind the platform has been developed over years through the process of building, experimenting, and solving problems related to selling downloads. We started with downloadable sewing patterns, quilting patterns, crochet patterns, home decor projects, jewelry making guides, downloadable paper crafts, and more. From there we expanded into machine embroidery design downloads.
The download opportunity for makers and creators is emotionally and financially rewarding. You have the opportunity to share your creative passion with others by producing and selling quality how-to guides, plans, patterns and more. Customers can experience the joy of the creative process through these products, expanding the love of the craft.
Successful digital download products have included:
- Sewing and quilting patterns
- Machine embroidery designs
- Building project plans, from birdhouses to human houses
- Crafting templates
- Graphic design templates and fonts
- Photography
- and many more!
One of the best ways to discover the quality and simplicity of our platform is to request a demo from a trained technical specialist. We will walk you through our unique feature set and how the Digicat framework works together with your current setup to optimize your selling potential online. Let us take you through the process and show you how we are making a difference in the business done by digital product salespeople online.
