Interesting instructions for your digitizer

digidana · December 27th, 2017, 01:16 PM

ha! i ask that question 500 times a day it feels like. when i ask i usually include my recommendation. like, if its a tractor trailer for left chest with a bunch of detail, i'd recommend filling it so i can outline with running stitches. even if they stitch it out the same color as the shirt so it looks open.

that's another thing i try to remember to tell all new customers...if they have existing embroidery they are trying to match, send me a pic. there are 100 different ways to digitize some designs.

yeah, those are two GREAT questions to always ask... also what SIZE? hats and left chest I get but when you are sewing a jacket back or blanket or whatever non standard item... please give your digitizer a SIZE.

Earlier this year I posted on this thread about the lady that ordered a design for a quilt... I asked SIZE? she gave me the SIZE of the quilt!!?!

Would also be nice to know if the client has the ability/inclination to use thinner threads? That really helps us in quoting something with small lettering because we then know we can go smaller without issue for them.

jacket backs and front full chest i'm ok with sizing, but for things like the blankets, bags or aprons i always ask a size because they can be so wide ranging.

i always just plan for 60 wt thread and make recommendations for that.

Client today: "Can you revise this file at all where there is just the running stitch outline to make it a bit for substantial possibly?"

what does this mean? any ideas?

new year, new instructions: "Please see Capture and match. Please create as small as possible and still have it so out clearly. Thanks."

client: " The new digitized file you send over was just stitched out and the embroiderer said that the needles would stitch better if the red was on the bottom instead of stitching on the side of the needles and instead the needles stitched on top of the red"

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

SO vs SEW... SEND vs SENT... promotional products correct?? spelling kinda matters ? NO?

Needles always stitch better with red on the bottom! just sayin.

THESE are "Interesting instructions" your client gave you?? They tell you what your pricing is to be? That is a new one on me! Good luck with that as you must have some very difficult clients. Sorry

(I get it, they posted in the wrong thread... just thought it funny. not picking on them) But it would not surprise me IF those actually were instructions given to a digitizer!
