    Thanks John, you've almost talked me out of getting into Embroidery, but not completely.

    Great video John! Explains things very well. I would like to know what is a good price is to charge for digitizing. I tend to give a customer a break if I'm also doing the embroidery. But if I am only doing the digitizing, I charge $5 per 5000. Example being if the design has between 5001 and 10,000 stitches, the price would be $10. I always run my designs before I send them to the customer, and if they are a first time customer I require payment upfront.
    This is a hobby for me even though I have a 15 needle Avance' which is a knock off Tajima. And digitizing with Hatch 3 is great! I actually find digitizing relaxing.
    Thanks again

    I do it the other way around: I create something and sell it in my online shop. Granted, I sell lots of other things, so it is one item amongst many - I do the embroidery also just for fun, I cannot see the point of selling something under price or almost under price and be miserable makig the stuff.

    Hi! Thank you for that awesome video!
    What if each item was personalized, like for a sports team and each item had the player’s name on it. How would that effect your pricing?

    John is far too nice to say it, but if you are asking this question you probably aren't ready for a 100 piece order. The question isn't how much you should charge, it's how much do you need to earn. Contact your local SCORE office and find a volunteer mentor who can guide you in putting together that business plan. Don't let the words "business plan" scare you. It isn't hard and doesn't have to be complicated, but it does need to be done. My 2 cents. Worth what you paid for it.

      Excellently said. I started my journey through SCORE. Been embroidering for 16 yrs. All businesses are fluid. I schedule revisits on my numbers to stay as current as possible.

    Dang, things have not improved for the embroider in over 20 years. Seems to be about the same as it was back then. Which is why I sold 2 of my machines. Now I just enjoy creating for friends and family.

      People made money with embroidery before and making now. What are you talking about? Profit for me with embroidery is 10-30 times more for 1 item. Its a very very profitable buisness for alot of countrys.

      @OleensEmbroidery 23 дня назад

      @@maximvolkov7108 True. I'm just saying the pricing hasn't changed that much in 30 years. Back when I started, a skilled digitizer could charge over $300 to digitize a simple logo such as the Starbuck logo. I used to say a computer could never get the results of a skilled digitizer. WRONG. Now the software is so good they would only charge $25. And it would probably be as good or better than a hand digitized. The sew out/product is where the money is and where the pricing has not changed much. It's almost the same as what I was charging 30 years ago.

    For what it's worth, I'll tell you this....most all embroidery is so undervalued and undercharged it's pathetic. The way costs are figured per 1000 stitches, needles, thread, stabilizers, etc., is ridiculous. I won't open my door for a $6.00 job! The most valuable thing I have is my time, and anyone who wants a piece of it is going to pay what it's worth. I have a tajima, single head, 15 needle, at home. I have wilcom es4 software. It's all been paid for over and over again. I do custom logos for one client and I charge alot. This is not my primary job. I am a fabricator by trade about to retire. I will not ever compete with or try to work for chinese wages.
