I don't normally try to push a digitizer but these seems relevant so I am 
going to share my digitizer with you.

I use Clearsky24/7 and they are 24 hour turnaround and do very good work. 
They are a flat rate digitizer.  L/C designs are $30-$50.  You can have the 
same design made for hats for $20 extra or a hat design by itself is the 
same as L/C.  Full backs are $125 - $200 (I just had a building with 4 
different cars in the logo digitized for $175).  I have had around 100 
designs done by them since last Sept and have been very happy.  I just got 
done sewing 72 full back jackets w/ a 72k design they digitized and I had a 
total of 4 thread breaks on them.  The front has some lettering in a banner 
that is .15" tall and has not broke once on it yet.  The fronts just break 
every 3 or 4 jackets on some small stars in the logo and run excellent other 
than that (front is 15K).  These people are out of TX so they are not an 
overseas company.  They do not use Design Shop software so you receive files 
in .dst format.

If anyone wants me to send them a few designs they have digitized for me let 
me know off list and I will send a few samples.
