Custom Embroidery?

Question

Anyone on this group have a machine that can do custom embroidery? The local shops want to charge a $60 set-up fee. I don't know a lot about the set-up process, but I'm thinking it doesn't take an hour to do.

I have a one-color logo, about 2" x 5" that I would like embroidered on a piece of Nylon fabric and wondered if anybody on here might want to make a few bucks off their machine. I'm looking for someone that would would be interested in repeat business because I'll probably need a couple each month. If anyone's interested, please contact me for more details at snipped-for-privacy@houston.rr.com

Thanks!

have an embroidery machine...but if i understand you correctly, the local shop is charging you 65- to digitize the logo. this is actually a very reasonable fee...it takes time to digitize it (meaning taking it from an image to something the embroidery machine recognizes) as well as test stitching it out, ect.....

Wrongo! I just spent one night (maybe 3 hours) digitizing a simple image (mountain), running a test run (35,000 stitches) that took 85 minutes, to complete and will need to alter the digitized image yet again (arggh!). So day three is coming up.

So maybe $60 is really cheap for a setup! After that, you can negotiate price.

But my design only uses one color, shouldn't that be simple?  It's just aname with a figure in the middle.

Not trying to flame you, but of course it seems simple when you don'tknow.  It was just more convenient for you to assume that it shouldn'tcost what it does.  People do have to feed themselves.  No one isgetting rich doing embroidery.
