With the Sanmar link they can pick shirts, etc. from-with the prices I set up-adding embroidery designs is easily done over the phone instead of spending $5,000. I don't EVER do digitizing for any 'quote' job-only once I get a firm order. I can create a logo or design in a few minutes on my Mac, estimate 1,000 stitches per square inch as a maximum figure-and give them a ball park idea of what the design will cost. Once they confirm the order, THEN I bring that into Designshop, digitize it, and figure out the final cost. For simple lettering, or designs taken from the Dakota collection-I do those up in DS, save a jpg of the '30-d' image, and email that to show them, at the same time I have the final stitch count. With the way the economy is still heading downhill-I can't afford to spend time doing digitizing and 'hoping' to get the order...like probably all of you have found-everyone is cutting back-AND also price shopping. So don't give away your time...that's worth money to you! ----- Signman, there are many advantages to the LiveDesigner website that you will not get with any other solution. I really recommend you spend some time with me for a personal online demo before you make any decisions. We are running some great promotions on LiveDesigner as well, your cost would not be $5,000. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
