- Art is billed as a one time fee for services rendered per design.

Simple Art-NO CHARGE for type only designs using a font we have in house, laid out in an ordinary format with no fancy effects.
Digitizing Costs-Based on the number of stitches it takes to reproduce a design. Each design is unique and requires a quote based on the art supplied by the customer. We are usually able to supply you with a digitizing quote within 24 hours after we receive a copy of your art.
Embroidery Costs-Based on the number of stitches that are in the design. Each design is unique and once the stitch count is established a cost per item is achieved.
IMPORTANT
Vector art is the best art to send us for reduced art fees. We accept designs in in vector formats in software programs: Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Freehand, editable .eps or .pdf files from other art programs.
Art Requirements:
Vector Art
- Vector Art is art that is built (actually drawn) in a vector or object based program such as Adobe Illustrator or Adobe Freehand. Each object in a vector file can be selected and individually manipulated independently from the rest of the image.
- Common file extensions for this type of file includes .ai and .eps.
- When providing such files, it is important to convert to curves or create outlines out of all text used.
- For a vector art file (i.e. Adobe Illustrator file) with no placed images, resolution is not a concern.
Photographic Art
- Photographic Art (or Photorealistic Design) is art that incorporates scanned in imagery, or art that is built in a pixel based program such as Photoshop.
- Common file extensions for such files are .psd, .tif, .jpg (jpeg), .eps.
- This includes any art built in a vector-based program that also incorporates imported or placed photographic elements.
- While it is possible to embroider photographic art, there are limitations. We recommend that you simplify your art for embroidery to achieve greater visibility of your design.
- For better quality, it would be best to make sure artwork is created approximately 200 dpi.
