How To Look For Embroidery Digitizers

You are looking for embroidery digitizers online and have a dilemma. If you are going to spend the money to get your embroidery pattern digitized, you want only the best there is to do the work for you.

How do you figure out who that is?

Your best bet is to go by how long and how much experience the company has with embroidery digitizing. If you are choosing the company by their website, look at the page that tells about the company. If it doesn't tell you about how long they've been in business, email them and ask. Once you get your answer, look at their site and find examples of their work. If there isn't anything on the website, you can email them and ask for images of samples sent back to you.

There are many factors you can use to choose an embroidery digitizer. You may find that the embroidery digitizers with the most experience operate in a different country. If you truly want the best, you will have to do your research.

Like anything else with choosing a company to digitize your embroidery pattern, this is going to be a mostly subjective search. You may find that the company you choose has more experience with the type of embroidery pattern you are wanting digitized.

Some companies are going to be better at small patterns. Others will have experience with larger ones. Looking at the websites, you can find out what they have experience with.

Instead of searching for 'embroidery digitizing' you can also search for 'embroidered items.' Now, not every company that comes up under that search will offer to digitize your embroidery pattern for you. However, chances are, these companies won't come up under the search for embroidery digitizing, but they will offer to digitize an embroidery pattern for you. Look for a link that says "if you don't see what you want, let us know." With this, they are offering to get an embroidery pattern digitized for you. Email them to see if they will just digitize the embroidery pattern for you or if you have to buy an embroidered item from them together with the digitizing.

Emailing a company about their embroidery digitizing services is a good way to find out about their customer service. If they take awhile to answer, if they are not clear with their answers, it's possible that their customer service is not as good as it could be or they could just be busy. Ask them what their turnaround is to see how busy they are.

If you are torn between several embroidery digitizers, find an embroidery forum and see if you can get opinions on who the best embroidery digitizing company is. You can specify that cost isn't an issue if you are worried that they will just give you the "best for the lowest price" type answer.

Once you decide on an embroidery digitizer for your pattern you can relax and enjoy being able to embroider the pattern that you wanted.
