I think if embroiderers continue to accept working for free, then it sets a
very low bar. Sell quality and expect your time and talent to be reimbursed
accordingly. We're not printing documents with these machines . . . we're not
Office Max or Staples for wearables. The skill of quality workmanship is what
will set you apart from the mass production bargain bin shops.

I have someone that called for a quote on 100 shirts. I have only one
machine and the design is just part of a column, like a cement pillar, and
lettering, I told her I'd charge her $10 for the design set up because the
column wasn't going to be that hard to digitize and off the top of my head, $4
per shirt not having the slighted idea on how many stitches it would be. She
said my digitizing fee was better, but my embroidery price was higher, they
quoted her 2.75 per shirt. How do people do this? And am I wrong in not
saying I would do the same thing? I'm actually thinking of calling her back
and telling her the digitizing setup would be free and 3.25 per shirt.
What do you think. I'd hate to lose out on 300.00, but that will be a lot
more work for me because of only one machine and I'm sure the other company
that quoted her had more.
