You are enjoying using your new embroidery machine. However, you have several images that you want digitized into embroidery patterns. You've done your research on who you want to have digitize these embroidery patterns for you. After all, if you're going to have someone else do it, why not deal your embroidery digitizing out to the best digitizing company available.
The right way is to go to different websites, download & compare the samples that are available. Stitch them out to look at the different qualities and compare them to know which company has better digitizing ability.
Finding good samples is not the end. Prices of embroidery digitizing vary a lot. The next thing to consider is “how much is too much to pay for your embroidery pattern to be digitized"?
Admittedly, if you are going to go through the trouble of comparing different embroidery digitizing companies, you are going to want the best to do the work for you. But sometimes the best is going to charge too much for their embroidery digitizing service. What do you do then?
Find the prices on the website for the company that you would like to try embroidery digitizing service, or otherwise contact them to get their pricing. If the price is higher than other prices you've found online, ask them about discounts for digitizing multiple embroidery patterns. Some companies may give you a discount to have you try there service. The more people they have happy with their product, the better their business gets.
However, some companies may be unwilling or unable to negotiate with you on what they will charge for digitizing an embroidery pattern for you. At that point, your choices are to go to another company. Either one that as good but may be is new in the field & has more reasonable prices, or to go ahead and get your image turned into a digitized embroidery pattern for you, even at the higher price range.
Whether you pay the higher price is entirely up to you. If what a company charges for digitizing an embroidery pattern is more than the average cost, whether or not the cost is too expensive is entirely subjective. Does that mean that you should go ahead and pay for the most expensive embroidery digitizing service out there if you feel the cost is suitable?
That's another subjective question. Honestly, your best bet isn't to choose the most expensive company around. Price isn't going to guarantee the best service or the most customer satisfaction!! Look at the website, try to get customer comments and feedback, and compare any samples they have taken pictures of. That is how you will be able to tell how good the company will be at digitizing your embroidery pattern.
The quality is the most important part, not the price. If the company with the best quality of digitized embroidery is also one of the least expensive, then you have certainly found a way to a successful business yourself. Find cheap digitizing and you will enjoy your work and have a good hand over your pocket.
