I could see that years ago when the majority of embroidery shops had mostly large multihead machines... but today? not so much MOST clients are small mom and pops...

When I moved to San Antonio there were 9 embroidery shops in the yellow pages... today there are 139 listed on Yelp! Most of our large clients have gone offshore years ago! the only way we could survive was to adapt to the changing landscape of small mom and pops and maybe 1 design per month from most, etc.

and I see that as an advantage.... for example I do about 95-99% of all the designs that come to us that have bordered letters... satin or running borders... I do most of the cars, trucks, machinery... etc. I like those designs. My business partner does 95-99% of all school mascots or realistic animals with fur effect, etc... He likes those designs.

I think a digitizer is naturally better at the designs they like to do.

So the client IS getting consistency... but different digitizers depending on the logo.. does that make sense?

years ago we used to do "assembly line digitizing" but that is another thread... but it got us to our first 1,000,000.00 year! (actually our ONLY 1m year.. lol)

makes sense. i'm with your partner. i HATE doing cars/trucks/tractors. just finished up a dodge truck. hawwww! that's a lot of dang designs!!

Also having only 1 digitizer for all business needs it's not good business practice. I think, one can not have all eggs in one basket while running a business. Having backup is good for business.

That's very much true, now i see designs are sent by home machine owners operating from home which request PES formats mostly
