Custom Embroidery Digitizing
Terradon Embroidery specializes in custom embroidery designing for professional embroiderers.
Most experts agree that high quality digitizing is the most important factor in your company's success. The quality of your embroidery starts with the quality of the embroidery design. The better your embroidery looks, the higher your profit margins will be.
Our Experience
Years of training by some of the best embroidery designers in the industry assure you of embroidery designs that you can be proud of. We have years of experience and a commitment to ongoing training by the best designers in the industry. You can be assured that your design will run well and look great.
In addition to quality designs, we also advise you of the best approach for a design. One that meets your customers expectations and your production needs. We also advise on the best way to present things to your customer.
We have maintained a few stitching customers so that we can stay current with production needs. We never want to loose that understanding of what is happening in the marketplace. A digitizer that never runs a machine is not going to be as conscious of production friendly techniques as one who does.
For that reason, every design is watched as it stitches on our SWF 12 needle. It can look great on screen, but if it doesn't stitch great, it's no bargain at any price.
How do we price?
We charge by the difficulty of the embroidery design, not by stitch count. Charging by stitch count pits the digitizer and embroiderer against each other. The embroiderer needs the lowest stitch count that looks good for quicker run time. The digitizer needs a higher stitch count to be paid more. So, estimating the amount of time and expertise needed to digitize a design seems a much more fair way of charging for our services. That makes us partners to create the best design for you, the embroiderer.
As an interesting example, one could digitize a square and pack it with stitches in a second or two. It makes no sense to charge less for a detailed design that actually has fewer stitches but took much longer to design. Nor does it make sense for a digitizer to charge more for the design that took mere seconds.
If you like, we will gladly give you a firm quote before beginning work.
Consistency
We believe that it is best to have the same digitizer do your designs. The relationship that develops helps everyone by anticipating needs rather than reacting after the fact. With Terradon, it's just Terri and Don. We're small enough to really care about every customer and want to help them create beautiful embroidery. You don't have to worry about whether a less experienced employee will be working on your design.
Turnaround
We strive to have every design turned around in 3-4 workdays or less. We could cut that time to 24 hours if we hired less experienced digitizers, or didn't insist on stitching and inspecting every design, or hurried through the design. But, we're not going to cut corners so we can advertise fast turnaround.
The great thing about establishing a relationship with a small company is that we will do everything possible to meet your delivery needs. We learn to trust that rushes are not just due to poor planning on your part. Many times there is no additional rush charge.
There are times that we have to bump other jobs or work extra long hours to meet a rush. Those occasions may result in a rush charge. We will gladly quote the rush, if you ask.
