Thank you for inquiring about my custom embroidery work. A sampler of some of my recent work is available upon request and you will find a price list is included. I am always available and willing to discuss and research any questions you may have.
I personally digitize all designs I embroider from artwork or sample patchwork that you provide to me. This ensures the quality and accuracy of the service I provide. When doing club patchwork, I will be happy to work with your 100% ready digitized embroidery file that is provided to me on CD or on a flash drive in the .pes or .blf digitized format. The .pes format allows me no alterations, whereas a file in the .blf format will allow me to make adjustments requested or needed in the artwork. In the past I have found that not all artwork meets my criteria as well as being extremely out of date, producing a finished product that I will not endorse. In this case, design and/or digitizing charges will be billed. Custom work requires personal contact or high-resolution jpeg, bmp, gif or Vector files. The bigger and cleaner the provided art, the easier it is to digitize and get a quality result. A physical color sample is necessary, as photos do not justify true color. With patchwork as my template, I can easily make any requested alterations, use proper colors, determine correct size and use similar stitch type. All personal and club property is saved on individual flash drives and secured in a full size fireproof safe on the premises. All practice sew outs are done in an off color and all errors are destroyed once corrected.
I use only Hiwaymen patchwork as examples to protect the privacy of my other clients. A full three-piece set of Hiwaymen patches is $150.00 and a set of property patches is $100.00, for example. If the bottom rocker of the property is personalized, I need a copy of your alphabet or I will need to design and digitize one at the current graphic design and digitizing rates. One single color, three inch memory bar is a flat $2.00, regardless of the quantity. Commemorative patches vary according to size, colors and design. All digitizing and embroidery fees are based on stitch count and can only be determined after the file is digitized. There is one-time set-up and digitizing fee for all new projects. Text only designs using a stock embroidery font and embroidery ready files will not be charged design or digitizing fees.
I am always happy to brainstorm a new project and I look forward to being inspired by your next new look.
