I just hate to take on any project that detailed. I will do names based on the # of letters but also set a flat rate for a Single Letter 2 Letters or a Monogram. I also take into account the font used. Some letters in different fonts have more stitches. Embroidery retailers will charge a set up fee, thread color fee and # of stitches fee...that's why it costs so much. For what you are talking about $65 is a good price. If you have to digitize the design, a good digitizer charges about $35.00 for a simple design

I only charge $3 for a first name.Alot also has to do with where you are,like cities you can get more money for it than if you live out in the middle of nowhere

I figured out what the typo was before it was edited. It was #2 and designs. He he he!
