If you need an image digitized it is a separate service from the embroidery. This process can take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours. Cost of digitizing is based on stitch count and the complexity and size of the design. Designs are kept on file for one year. The embroidery file created belongs to you! I can create a embroidery file of your design in almost any embroidery format if you should decide to get your embroidery work done somewhere else.

- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Usually they will message me and I respond with a quote. If they accept the price quote then I like to meet up and go over details and cost. Once the customer agree's to the estimate provided then work begins.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I currently hold a certification in Appeal design and am working on a BA in fashion. I love to study different kinds of sewing techniques and learn how to do new things with my sewing machines.
