I do not have Design Shop Pro but we digitize all our own designs with another 
program.  We digitize for 3-4 other companies now - cut way bk on the outside 
digitizing as I just don't have the time and do not accept new customers.  

I think it really depends on how you 'take' to digitizing whether you end up 
doing it on a regular basis or not.  It takes a lot of patience and time - 
practice sewouts, classes or learning it with hands on..  Sometimes you will 
find it is not worth it if as another poster said he could do 300+ sewing and 
could not see the time it wld take digitize a company logo.

I do think you really need to have a dependable digitizer that does what they 
say, sews well on your machine and you can trust.  That takes a little time to 
build that relationship and sometimes some shopping around.  

I don't believe we -as a group- should hire foreign digitizers if we can help 
it.  This is my experience:

Here is some info abt China overall that I found interesting in light of the 
flood of digitizers advertising from there:

If you want to read the rest - it is Msg 408 in the Yahoo Group - AmayaEmb.  

No I do think we should use Chinese digitizers.
