1) Embroidery does not take as long as you may have thought. In the past this was a very tedious and manual process, but with computer technology this process has been digitized. Nowadays, it just takes a few days to embroider items in bulk!
2) Embroidery fees are based on the number of stitches used. There is no difference in price whether you use one color or many colors in embroidery as long as they have the same stitch count. However, the size and design details matter in counting stitches.
3) The greater the number of stitches used, the finer your embroidery will be. Your design will dictate the minimum number of stitches that will be required for professional-looking embroidery.
4) There is a one-time digitizing charge. Digitizing is the process of converting your logo or text into a stitched image that an embroidery machine can work off of. It is standard practice to be charged a one-time digitizing fee. The embroiderer then keeps your digitized image on file for future reorder or new embroidered orders.
5) There are different thread and embroidery placements options. Satin thread is the traditional thread used for embroidery digitizing. It is also the thread used as default for digitized embroidery. For an extra charge, you can upgrade the thread to specialty threads like glow-in-the-dark, metallic, and matte threads.
