Outsource Embroidery Digitizing Reviews

Fattyonamoped · August 18th, 2011, 10:15 PM

Hey Dave-

Do what I did.... Make digitizers prove how well they are at their job. I offered a challenge where I gave the same design to everyone that participated so I could compare apples to apples. Anyway this thread link should give you an idea. Hope this helps.

Digitizer Challenge

Results: Didn't want to offend anyone so didn't really give reviews.....

Steve was wonderful to work with. This past time was my first and I had a few changes which he made for me with a very quick response time.
I will definitely use Steve again and pass his information on to my colleagues.
Thanks Mate!

We are new to the business and it didn't take long for us to relize that we needed to focus on the art of embroidery, not the art of digitizing. We took some images to our local embroidery shop that offered digitizing as a service. The end product was horrible and the customer service was worse! Not to mention that the seventy dollars she charged was something I would have a hard time passing along to potential customers. We were bummed.

I remembered seeing a couple threads on this forom with folks offering what seemd to be quite affordable digitizing. We decided to give it a try, and after poking around a bit it became evidant that these vendors were actually overseas. This was disapointing to say the least.

I found a thread started by "harleydude777". Brent has been the best thing that has happened to our business. I can't speak harshley of the other digitizers on this forom because we havn't used any others.

Brent understands what it takes to produce a quality product. He understands our limitations and works his *** off to make things work. His pride in his work shows and is priceless. It is reflected in our final product we give our customers. The patterens he sends us run efficiently and smooth. He is old-school and hand punches most of our images for us. Check out our gallery in our website @ albatrossembroidery.com to see some of his work.

Customer service with Brent is outstanding. I find his pricing to be more than reasonable. He doesn't charge by the stitch per/say, but rather by the complexity of the pattern. In other words- im not paying for 20,000 stitchesw of fill. Most of his work for us is in the 10-20 dollar range. His turnaround time has always been less than 24hrs., and more than once he has accomidated me on rush orders.

Best of all......he is an American working in America the same as me. I will support American products whenever possable. Drop him a line and see what he can do for you,
you won't be dissapointed. Brent Burghy

I'm wondering why you want more reviews on this topic? You have requested more reviews 4 times in this one thread only or is it to bump the thread back up for people to read again?

Are you using a digitizer at the moment? pls share your digitizers contact and how they are and what rates you pay. I would very much like to see what rates are being offered.

Thanks.

To all forum members.

This is to inform you that steve at gnizitigid is using additional usernames on this forum as well as t-shirt forum to promote his own services pretending to be his loyal customers.

Rodney of t-shirt forum has already removed all their posts on:
http://www.t-shirtforums.com/embroidery/t154450-2.html

Davidoakes is one of his fake usernames for promotion.

Attached is an email I have received from him and it clearly shows its the same person marketing himself. If you read all the messages from Davidoakes, you will realise all his messages are about promoting his own services.

I won't be surprised if there are still more usernames on this forum that he is using.

This forum is not for marketing. It is to share your knowledge with others and help them out where you can, instead of making people think that you are doing half the worlds digitizing.

Thankyou.

Rgds,
Rishi

Hi Rishi,

I know you are good person, but let us not go on personal things. Anyone can make emails like you attached screen shot, i am also server admin thats why i know these things and someone used our emails to destroy our reputation in social communities before (Competitors). I am against anything which is used personally to destroy once reputation because we have faced it from competitors.

For example here in India we use Connect IP's which are shared among many users. Can you send me Email Headers by PM to check and i will check IP's

For another thing, i would like to know what prices you offer for your digitizing services. Do u take paypal ? Can u send me PM as well as for that.

http://www.powerstitch.com/ is nice site in layout and design

Hi Jagan,

Thank you for your post.

The only reason why I am certain of it is because the same usernames have been used on t-shirt forum and rodney probably checked that the messages are coming from the same IP address.

Its not a matter of destroying someones business. If I am running a business I should have that much sense that forums are not used for such purpose. So if he wants to advertise then why use fake usernames?? thats my point. It gives a wrong impression to other readers.

Sometimes I wonder why I even bother when I am trying to help the other members here and don't see any appreciation. Good luck to you all.

Rgds,
Rishi

Hi Rishi,

Here is my explanation on your questions.

I send my 75% work to Steve, and rest work to 2 other digitizers. Due to that i have created a common account which we both can check and used Google Email Fetcher facilities

https://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=21288
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=29386

Not only with Steve, i try to use this method with another digitizers as well because we can check that design is received and sent and reached.

Still i want to shift 50% business from Steve to any other digitizer, i do not want to depend on one digitizer, thats why i sent u email. I will possibley can go with brent as well.

I am checking your other points as well and will reply you.

Hi David,

I know thats good feature to use.

Anyway, moving from these things, i think this thread is good which helped me to see which digirizer is offering which service and at what prices.
