3 Levels of Customization...
COLOR ONLY...
"Hugs" and "Stronger Than..." quilts are examples of "Color only" where you would just choose a color of thread and a border color.
This option has the quickest turnaround time and the lowest price as the proofing process is very quick.
CUSTOM...
"SEMI Custom" items will be personalized with the names/dates/words of your choice in the colored thread of your preference.
This option has a turnaround time frame and cost in between the "Color" and "FULLY Custom" options.
FULLY CUSTOM...
"FULLY Custom" items are here to turn your ideas into reality. You describe what you are looking for and I will create it for you. It can be as simple as your favorite quote, a special message to a loved one or you could send me a photo of your dog or house or china dish pattern from Great Grandma (which I do have an example of one I did on a tea towel) and I will have it turned into a digitized file my machine can read and then embroider it for your with the words, colors, and fonts of your choice.
The turnaround time for this item will vary depending on the complexity of the design, how many revisions are made to the proof and your availability to review proofs. In some cases, the designs are hand made by a digitizer who will figure out exactly what type and how many stiches are required. Some designs are super simple with 1 color and 2,000 stitches and some are very complex with several colors and over 30,000 stitches. So it all depends on what is being created.
Once the digitized file is done, I will test stitch it and have changes made if necessary. Then I will add all the text and send you proof to make sure you like the positioning, fonts, colors etc. The more details you give me up front, the better. Or I can just surprise you! :-)
