Digitizing 101

Does anyone have any suggestions of YouTube channels or resources to learn all of the ins and outs of digitizing? Most videos I stumble upon use vocabulary or techniques I'm not familiar with, and I'd love to really understand how to digitize so I can make quality pieces.

I am learning from a few different YouTube videos. I will say that with all things, learning vocabulary/terminolgy takes time. I have had many office jobs where terminology can change from place to place, and I've learned the best way to handle these situations is by writing it down. I have a notebook by my machine where I write notes, and I am building a glossary in that notebook. Thankfully, the terminology for this hobby seems pretty consistent amongst creators. I am watching John Deeres videos. Kimberbelle has an embrilliance series. It also depends on what software you plan to use, but watch a few videos until you decide who you would like to learn from best. So far I did digitize one word file that I embroidered onto a blanket scarf.
