Embroidery and Digitizing

Hi everyone,
i am competly new to embroidery and as you will see from this i know very little about. i normally just do t-shirt printing and a few other other bits and pieces where i am relatively new to this as well. anyway, a customer has asked me to do 10 jumpers with this logo. i would greatly appreciate if i could get some help from somebody to get it digitized. thanks very much.
Greetings from Ireland.

As a new embroidery business, I was really turned off by your comment. A little consideration and direction to someone who might not understand the ins and outs of digitizing, goes a long way. I work with another well known digitizer in the USA and he guided me through the process, and still does, and has earned my continued business with his patience and great digitizing skill. We all started somewhere and built our skills and knowledge over time. When we don't know something, we come to this forum as a source of knowledge transfer and learning experience. I did not even pursue looking into your company for digitizing services because I have read the many standoff-ish responses you have posted online. Isn't this forum for helping each other out?

The original OP post a question that is quickly found through a simple search. Then the OP posts a link of what no one has an idea of.

Robert makes a comment based on this and you're take is he isn't helping out? What is this, nursery school? In business those that feed themselves succeed, those that need feeding don't. The OP asks a question that could be answered in less than 20 seconds on a google search engine. I don't think that requires immediate in depth emergency assistance.

I've dealt with people I don't care for simply because they know what they are doing. I've also dealt with those who are extremely cordial but haven't a clue. I need to get things done quickly, correctly, and on time. This means I don't have time to interject my feelings into every single aspect of my life.

Everything is way simpler than that. Robert on their website charges $35 for up to 10,000 and Steve charges only $10 flat or $1.5 per 1K stitches.

Just a little competition war. So Roberts "Good luck Steve" could be red as "I hope you fail" :-)

That could be fine except that I kinda think of Steve as a friend.... a professional colleague for sure. So I doubt HE would take it that way at all. We just have different business models and niches that I think are working well independently.

I really did not think that offering Steve the best of luck would be a negative thing?! But the written word can be taken in different ways. I do agree that I have little patience sometimes and can come across a bit "snarky" which is something I am trying to work on. And I put my name and companies' names out there too... not hiding behind some made up "handle" to do some sort of cyber bullying. To me that is a sign of our honesty and that we really do care about digitizing and embroidery enough to let people know who we are. And in over 600 posts I don't think I have ever ASKED for promotional products digitizing on this forum and would invite anyone to go through those posts and see for themselves if my posts tend to help more or hurt more?

hi,
first of thanks to the one that stood up for me on this post. im generally not one for getting involved but the[ good luck steve!] poked fun at me because of my ignorance to the business i am now getting into.Fair enough and i totally agree i know nothing about this business, but in my own time i will and i will also make a business out of it. Believe it or not i am very meticulous in what i do. Everybody has to start somewhere some with a lot of knowledge about what they are getting into, some with a little and some little or none just like me. But just to put the record straight, i am begining to wind down with regard to business and i decided to start something that i thought i might like and something that i think will be easier for me. i have been in business now for about 40 years, 1 year ago i gave over a business to my daughter which i knew nothing about and ran it successfully for 20 years, by the way that is a takeaway restaurant for which their is 3 fulltime staff and 8 part time staff. i am also still running a small Bus Hire business where i have 3 Minibuses and 2 Coaches, that too is very successful, but i will also be getting out of that in a year or so. i also run a bouncy castle business where i have 7 units, im at that for the last 16 years. at the end of the day i know this business will be a success as my kids are getting a bit older and will soon have their college behind them and i know one of them will be getting involved and they really have a flair for this. i will be doing the groundwork, but after that i will by the guy who really knows how to do the marketing, im a long time around and have many many contacts. not only this, my kids are very business orientated and i will run a business where our name will be known far and wide for the quality of work we will do. At the end of the day i know it will be a success as i know what i am capable of and know what my kids are capable of. remember any businness i ever started i started not having a clue about it and my name goes far and wide for the quality of product and service. so they who says [good kuck steve!] i wonder if you who knows it all, has been as successful as i have been and is as agile as me, or has his business been as successful as one of mine. Never judge a book by its cover.

I would like to throw out a recommendation for a company called Digitexers. Their quality, turnaround, and pricing has really changed the way we approach embroidery customers. We've used several different companies, but the total package from Digitexers is awesome.
