I quit embroidery.
Wow, we are 5 days short of a whole year since I last uploaded a true video to TH-cam... What a great video to start 2024 in April with. It's not in the right format, but too late! I can't promise any future videos will be any better honestly. But, at least you know where I've been! Happy to be back :)

    I’m sounding ignorant, but when you had the lady send you the colors of embroidery threads that she wanted on her five sweatshirts you said you digitalize them what did you mean by that and how do you do that? I really really am having fun watching your videos

    • @Kendraaspencer
      @Kendraaspencer หลายเดือนก่อน

      A design needs to be digitized for the machine to be able to embroider and that’s a whole different thing than what I do, it requires expensive software and skills, so I always outsource my digitizing to JJ Digitizing for most projects. Or I buy already digitized designs on Etsy or other websites 😊

    If you want things to last you put embroidery on it and you put it on good quality materials…..if your husband goes through a lot of clothing then it does not matter if the design transfer cracks because you are not wasting money on quality shirts or embroidery. Pointless embroidering on things you go through quickly.

      @Kendraaspencer 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      In his service industry where clothes can get dirty quickly, I can see your point. But he can also reserve the embroidery shirts for days where he’s only out bidding for jobs and meeting people. It’s worth it to me!

I'm trying to make extra money from embroidery and sublimation, however not sure how to advertise on social media. Can you give me any advice please? I'm a counselor, my wife just was terminated from her job as a caseworker with DSS due to a vehicle accident in their vehicle which was not her fault, so I'm trying to replace that income. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you.

      Sorry to hear about the unfortunate circumstances effecting your family! As far as social media marketing goes, I would start with making it known that you are taking orders for the holidays coming up on your personal accounts and link your business page. Get a logo and name and make business cards through FedEx and take them into local businesses asking if they need any sweatshirts, beanies, or any other apparel for employee gifts or new uniforms. My largest order this year, I think around $1,500 was from a local business that wanted to give jackets away at a conference they were hosting, and tote bags with their logo on it. Hope you get some good orders going!
