Yep, digitizing is as much of an art as a conversion process. I've seen both good & bad digitizing from $3 per 1000 sts, and good and bad digitizing at $20 per 1000 sts.
I use 2 digitizers-one is $50 for up to 10,000 sts, the other is $12 per 1000 sts. Each one has their own strengths.
Your best bet is to have the embroidery shop do it (if you've seen thier work and it's good).

Digitizing is so cheap anymore. I've been selling embroidery for close to 20 years-when embroidery was done off a punch tape and an average tape was $300-$400.

Or, if have a large order, have it done in China. No digitizing charges and 3 cents per 1000 sts run charge (vs. 50 cents per 1000 sts in the US).
