I was lucky enough to be given the chance to write a start-up guide answering basic questions that all erstwhile machine embroiderers have when they first make the jump to doing business with stitches in this year’s Printwear Magazine Embroidery Report!
It’s tempting to take that trade-show floor excitement, stock up and goods and start stitching, but some thought to your business plan and the skills you need will serve you well.
In this article, I give a quick but comprehensive run-through of everything from the right time to buy your embroidery machine, to selecting the right machine for your business, making sure you have the proper accessories, the basic skills you need to start embroidering, and I end by reminding budding business people with embroidery aspirations to make sure they are managing their bottom lines.
Learn the key questions you should ask about a potential machine purchase, the tasks you’ll need to know how to do before your first stitch, and how to plan for profit with this short but pithy introduction to the business.
