Yes we do provide free quotes and stitch count estimates.

The files we give you are ready to go and when you download the file directly from the site, you should then take it directly to your machine. If you will try to open our file with your software, your preset software settings will take over and corrupt the file we provided to you on the site and will not sew correctly. If you alter the files we provide in anyway, we cannot guarantee the quality of the sew out as we have no control over your software settings. If you need a color change or need the design sized within 10-15%, we will gladly make those changes for you.

If the file type you posses is not listed, please contact our sales department at sales@oakmontgraphicthreads.com.

There could be one of two things preventing you from uploading your artwork to the site. One issue could be that the file is too large to upload, If this happens please email us the artwork to order@oakmontgraphicthreads.com and it would be best to put a note in the order/quote letting us know you emailed the artwork because you were unable to upload it. The second issue that will keep you from uploading artwork will be that you forgot to mark/select something in the required fields. If you still have issues, please do not hesitate to give us a call 929-480-4361.

An edit is a correction to the digitizing file for a quality purpose or perhaps a color change is needed. A revision usually occurs when the original design/artwork is changed in any way after the design has been digitized to match the provided artwork. Edits are normally free, whereas a revision may constitute a new charge to make the requested changes, which prior approval is obtained before the revision is done.

Yes, if bad artwork submitted or if a previous sew-out is provided as artwork, this may delay the digitizing turnaround. Clean vector art is always best, because bad art will just delay the digitizing process as we may have to send the logo to our art department, so that clean vector art can be created for the digitizer to work off.
