New to Embroidery - Selecting A Digitizer

I am very new to commercial embroidery. I have not yet marketed my business, as I am still learning....but I am starting to get interested customers from word of mouth. I have a job I need to complete this week so I need to look for a good digitizer that I can work with and I have a few questions:

1. Is there anyone you recommend?

2. What are the most important things to ask when trying to find a good digitizer?

Cost is always a consideration, but quality is paramount to me. Thanks for your input!

Hi,
I am a United States NAVY Veteran, Proud American and a freelance digitizer with 16 years full time experience, I use tajima DG/ML by Pulse designer edition....actually worked for Lands' End as one of their first digitizers 16 years ago...and helped in the testing process of creating this software with the Pulse programmers out of Canada when it was first developed. I am looking for some more work...and it is done right here in the good old U.S.A. ,by me and only me... so communication is great....send me an email if you would be interested in using my services at bburghy@mhtc.net ...... or call 608-943-8205, and please leave message if I am unavailable and I will get back to you ASAP...

prices are negotiable....mostly based on difficulty/ease of design vs. stitch count
FREE QUOTES
NO hidden costs.. when I say it will cost this amount, that's what it will cost..
Free Resizing/editing (ex: date/name change) L. chest logo
1-3 day turnaround depending on workload @ time....It is ONLY me doing the digitizing.....you will talk with me and only me....
(speed = lack of quality, attention to detail = QUALITY)

I wanted to come back to this post so that if others are reading, they know whom I went with - I chose Brent, harleydude777 and have been very pleased with his work and his customer service is stellar. Being new to embroidery, he has been a wealth of information and incredibly patient with me. I would definitely recommend him to anyone else looking for a digitizer.

I will recommend stitch graphic interchange for the work of embroidery digitizing. This company will provide you excellent services in less price and turn around time. You should ask about their prices, completion work, previous work and which software are they using for the digitizing work.

I have been digitizing since 1994. I think the best way people have heard about me is on forums such as a forum such as theshirtboard.com . I have been on the forum for years and many screen printing shops have a machine but not a digitizer so use my services. Many people have posted their experience. It is better sometimes to hear from someone else that uses your service to get their first hand experience on the quality etc...
or if you want me to digitize a design and just try us out. email me at bjbabs24@yahoo.com to get started.
