Hi, folks.
My wife is a stay-at-home mom and we're considering starting an embroidery business out of our home...
I'm interested in just 'trying out' a small embroidery business, to see how it goes.
I have a friend with a design/screenprinting business - and he needs someone to send embroidery requests to - so I think this will help me get a good customer base.
I am willing to put a little money in it up front - but also don't want to bite of a huge long-term commitment initially - that is, I'd prefer to 'ease' my way into it - and then kick in high-gear if it is successful.
Can the experts here recommend a good place to start?
That is, what machinery would you recommend / what software? I am sure that I'll want the ability to digitize my own art from the outset (if that helps on deciding the software).
If this is covered in an FAQ somewhere, I'll be happy to read that - but I welcome suggestions from those with direct experience doing the same kind of thing in the past.
God bless, and thanks! Jeff
