There is no flat fee for digitization. Digitization fees vary and are determined by the size of the design, the amount of detail work, the estimated stitch count, and the amount of time required to build the files.

Due to past problems, we no longer release embroidery files.
Effective June 2009, Christine Warren no longer accepts embroidery files built by other companies. This policy change was implemented after repeated problems with outside files that were built for other embroidery systems. Each embroidery system has its own unique set of requirements. Our files are built specifically for our system. If you wish to use your company logo on work completed by Christine Warren, then you will be charged a file set-up fee.
Digitization is a one-time fee for artwork that is converted to a specific size embroidery file. There is no limit on the number of times this file can be sewn out. However, if you decide to re-design your company logo at a future date, a new file will need to be built. New Company Logo/Artwork =New Set up/New Embroidery File(s)
This means that you will need to pay an additional digitization fee(s) for the new logo embroidery file(s) necessary for your sash and garment orders.
In order to begin the process, you will need to email a copy of your logo or artwork to Christine in either bmp or jpeg format. You will also need to tell Christine what items your logo will be embroidered on (i.e. sash, hat, jacket, tote bag, etc.). The more information provided enables the staff to determine how many files you will need and to prepare an accurate price quote. Once received, your artwork is reviewed by the digitizer who determines the digitization fee and length of time required to build the file(s). In most cases embroidery quotes are prepared within 2 business days and embroidery files are built within (5) business days upon receipt of payment.

Orders should be placed with a minimum of 6 week lead time. Orders with less lead time are subject to Rush Order Fees and expedited shipping costs. I reserve the right to accept or decline any order for any reason. Certain times of the year are busier than others making it impossible for me to accept every order. Please plan accordingly.
Sash pricing is determined by a variety of factors including amount of embroidery, threads & fabrics selected, fonts selected, & extras (i.e. rhinestone banding, additional ornamentation). For a price quote, please email me. So that I can provide an accurate price quote, please include as much information as possible. For your convenience, I’ve added a form that can be found on the “Contact” page. Simply fill it out and click on “Submit”. I will respond to your inquiry at my earliest convenience. Typically you can expect a response within 24-48 hours.
Sorry, but there are no volume discounts since each sash or embroidered item must be made as ordered. I offer personalized service and specialize in smaller orders.
To place a custom order, please either email me or fill out and submit the How to Order form on the “Contact
page with your specific needs such as the quantity of sashes needed and date of your event. Certain times of the year are busier than others making it impossible for me to accommodate every request. Please note that some fabrics take longer to come in if they are a special order. I make all attempts to keep the popular colors in stock, but I need to allow enough shipping time if I need to place a fabric order. I make all attempts to meet deadlines in a timely fashion.
The current pricing for rhinestone banding is as listed. For rhinestone ornamentation that is not listed (i.e. a special order trim)and the associated costs, please contact us. Please note: If you are ordering a special order trim, minimum quantities may be applicable.
Sashes are cut to size as requested. The shortest length available is 48″ which fits children between the ages of 0-2. For lengths longer than 72″ there is an additional fabric fee.
Color charts are available for each style on each page. PLEASE NOTE: There are color discrepancies between the actual fabrics and the way they are displayed on computer monitors. If you are looking for specific colors and need to match a specific color, I will require a sample of your fabric so that I may match satin colors. The most popular satin colors are White, Ivory,& Black with a color contrast trim. Sorry, but sashes are not available without contrast trim.
