Hi, you'll find if you answer on your original message thread, it'll be less likely to get lost since posts come up so frequently and get bumped back pages.

OK, but it is still advisable to upload the jpg image so that the members here can see what it is that you want digitised and if they would be willing to do it for you.
Digitising is not just a matter of converting a jpg image to a design file, the digitiser has to "create" all the different sections and the underlay stitches, stitch direction, density, fill type, push-pull compensation etc. Then each section needs to be placed in the most desirable and/or logical stitching order to reduce jump stitches.

Then the design may need to have an outline and this too is created separately so that there are the minimal number of jumps.

Depending on the image, this can take hours or days, some designs can even take weeks.

Then the first design created needs to be test stitched to find if there are any areas that need altering. Sometimes it will only need one alteration session, sometimes, two or three because when you alter one segment it might make an adjoining segment look wrong.

Here ends the shortened explanation of digitising a design.

I do hope this helps you to understand WHY we digitisers like to see the IMAGE before we commit ourselves to doing a job, for anyone.
Hugs and roses,
Meganne

Great explanation, Meganne, I'm always amazed people think you only need the right software and a few mouse-clicks to change a jpg into pes.
by elmwebb 11 Apr 2011
that is the best explanation I've heard yet and confirms my suspicion that I am not ready to enter the world of digitizing - I am still conquering the embroidery part! thanks so much, will upload the design shortly. what a helpful site this is!
