Price embroidery in minutes—without guessing.
I’m Tara, an embroiderer and professional digitizer, and I created this Comprehensive Embroidery Pricing Guide to replace uncertainty with a simple, repeatable system. You’ll set a fair $ per 1,000 stitches, publish add-ons and bulk tiers for transparent pricing, and use friendly scripts that help you win jobs (without undercutting).

What’s inside (30+ pages)
