Can You Make MONEY With an Embroidery Business in 2022.. Is it still PROFITABLE?

- In today's video I talk about whether or not starting an embroidery business is profitable. The embroidery industry has so many different niches and each has their own costs and profit margins. The most important thing to take away from this is to do what you love!!

Embroidery is the highest form of textile finishing and it will always be, so there's gonna always be a market for it, you need just to start it 😉
I had a guy wanted my to embroider JIM on 6 hats he had I said 8.00 ea. He told me he had somebody to do them for 3.00 and he thought that was to much. I said you better jump on 3.00 I can’t do them for that.
Out of curiosity, was the other price $3.00 each, or for all of them? Esp. if for all of them, yep, you’re better off not doing them! A lot of inconvenience & time consumption for that much work.
Haha… let them go .
He could have just lied to determine you to accept the low price, or he really could get that but probably from China, or some big embroidery company.
@@Lovemusic856 big companies don't do just 6 hats.
😂😂😂😂 YOU SHLDVE WENT UP AFTER HE SAID THAT DUMB💩
Lot of wisdom up in this video! 🙌 Just cause you know how to do something or enjoy doing something doesn't mean you have to sell it (complex designs). Sell what is profitable!
You are so inspiring! I just found your channel about a week ago and love all of your content... even from 2 years ago. Thanks for taking the time to share your journey.
I love how real you are here. I've looked into embroidery and those machines are EXPENSIVE!!! In other news, it's valuable information in all aspects of handcrafted small businesses. (Working on mine but starting with a different niche).
Thanks for this video! Here in Puerto Rico is not the same. People wants quality designs for a cheap price. I own an embroidery shop and sometimes i'm a little bit stuck with prices. You are sooo right, there is a lot of work and time. That is what people needs to understand. I have melco, brother, tajima and baby lock. Like you i looove my work!
Well, I did it Angela. I called Todd and I got approved for the EMT16X. So, excited. I have been sewing and doing embroidery, vinyl and rhinestones for years and have found somethings are just not worth the time and energy it takes to make them or the aggravation, especially when I did custom clothing for adults for over 40 yrs. Now, I make things I love and that sale for me while working my full time job. But, this year I will make more changes. Thanks again for another great video.
What is the approx price or price range? I have a single needle but want to expand, though it's scary😭
what was the sub total? i really wanna get this machine.
How much???
Hi Val, How long did it take you to get your machine? I ordered one on Feb 25th and don’t have an ETA yet. So I’m just curious.
@@veamcher Hi Vera. I ordered mine on 1/12 and I got my shipping notice on 1/21. I think it came a few days later. I don't recall the exact date it was delivered. The guys set it up and everything.
Came across your channel and these videos are so helpful, im launching my own embroidery business by February and you're videos are giving me great insight!
Thank you for all your knowledge and sharing and I have found your channel over 1 month ago and I have watched almost all your videos. I started watching all your old videos. And soon I will be caught up. I have some vinyl shirts, sublimation and screen print transfers and starting to screen print them and wanted to expand my side hustle with DTG and embroidery and praying I can go full time soon.
I remember searching for anything for a pe800 in 2020 and I found you and I subscribed and have loved and followed you every since!!
Glad I stumbled upon you. You pack a lot of information into a short amount of time. You’re also quite entertaining to listen to 😅. I was thinking of taking up embroidery as a hobby for friends and family items. But now you got me thinking 🤔 about a potential side hustle.
You are Awesome. I have no better words to describe your video.
You are spot on with all that you have said here
An inspiration to all who watch you at work. Kudos !!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. It is very appreciated. Your hustle and drive is everything. New subscriber
I admire your hustle! The upfront cost is expensive. I am on a single needle machine and don’t have multi machines to work on. I think there is pressure to get these big machines and a lot of people on social media aren’t paying for their machines. I think your channel helps you have a leg up on people who don’t have a TH-cam. You can list on Etsy all day but it’s all about the marketing.
Thank you! Yes upfront costs are expensive! Yes the pressure is definitely high but most of us TH-camrs all started on the single needs as well! So it is definitely possible!! Just grow at your own pace! The reality of my channel can't speak for others is that it hurts my etsy more than it helps. As my channels main subscribers are other Etsy shop owners they can all make what I sell so it doesn't help as they click for inspiration and in turn etsy sees it as buyers not liking my products so I go down in search. For other types of businesses yes it definitely would help as it is marketing! My purpose on YT is to help other mamas or entrepreneurs start their business or give the motivation to keep going! Happy new yearssssss
@@AngelaJasmina thank you for your reply. That is a great insight to the TH-cam and visibility. Still trying to get a hang of Etsy and what is really needed for consistent growth. It can be very frustrating at times!
single needles take up SOOOOOOO MUCH TIME! I really wanna get a multineedle machine.
You are such y inspiration!!! I love how you see things!!! Thank you
You're a BEASTTT! Always looking up to you- I was watching your videos before I ever embroidered anything and now I have a 15 needle commercial machine and a table top machine and you've helped me A Lot along the way- can't thank you enough!
YYEESSS!!! go for it!
good shit!
I will do embroidery logo digitizing dst pes file in 1 hour
So agree About the profit making. This is so great for you to do.
Love it!!! In business number dont lie! Gotta do math to see what the profit margin is, expenses etc etc etc. Great video on breaking it down
Love it! Always love your realness. I'm saving up to get an embroidery machine so hopefully this year I can add that custom content to my shop! Everyone loves my shirts and designs but I think adding a special touch like embroidery could take it up a notch. Thank you for the info about sewing/emb combo machines....I was looking at those to try to save some space but good point about wear and tear!
are you planning on digitizing yourself?
Thanks and great advice 💜 the machine and starting up intimidates me but... fingers crossed... see where it goes..
I have a craft room and for me it’s just a hobby. I don’t sew, embroidery or sublimate daily. I love my SE 1900. Your comment about the combo can be wear and tear on a sewing machine is a very good point. But I go through rotations of my different hobbies 🤣. I have to remember to run the ink on my sublimation printer. Lately it wasn’t to act up. Love your videos
Just seeing ur video first time and I got inspired seeing ur works. I really wish to do something like this. Let this thought be a first step for a good start . Thankyou somuch for sharing ur experiences
I know I am underpricing myself, but I'm happy with what I make. I typically sell my hats starting at $15. I am all word of mouth and/or instagram/facebook. I don't buy cheap hats. Most of what I do is Richardson, so I am looking at about $5.75 at this time. I usually assume $.20 in thread. I am at home working without employees. I run 2 machines. I estimate about 8 hats per hour between the 2 machines, so I come out to around $72/hr. which is plenty for me. I'm not consistent, so I don't have that luxury. When it comes to wholesale items (other than small cost items), I charge 1.5 of what I pay, plus embroidery. So, if I pay $30 wholesale for a jacket, I will sell it for $45 then add $7 for a left chest design. I don't get carried away with stitch count either.
Feel free to follow my business page. Just look up Happy Hermit Embroidery.
So ya know when you get insomnia and you just scroll through TH-cam clicking random videos. Well that's what I was upto lastnight and I just happened to click on your video "How I run my million dollar business from home at 27" and woooweeeee girlfriend 😁😃 I am so impressed, so very proud of you (even though we don't know each other) I was smiling the whole way through that video. To watch a young mama filled with passion and determination is so blissful 😊 I wish you all the best for your family and the future ❤ 💙
Ive been getting the stabilizer by 500 pieces at All stitch. They are way cheaper when you jump from 250 to 500. Always love your videos and how you put things into perspective in a realistic way.

Contacted Todd and waiting on a response! Thank you for being an inspiration 😁
Great presentation! I love the enthusiasm you bring to embroidery. 💗
A lot of business owners don’t count their true costs when calculating their prices. It is important to know your actual numbers. Review your costs once a year and consider whether you should increase your prices.
I’m in a bind I want to start my business embroidering headbands an hats, also sell custom underwear
But my hurdle is 1. Where to do it at? I live with my mom I can’t run a business from my room an 2. Should I buy bulk from from sites like Alibaba
Hey Angela! Love your videos!! 🥰 Can you do a video on the pro clamps you got? I’m looking into getting them and just curious how you like them. Thanks, Savannah
I may have missed it.
But make sure your factoring in wear and tear on your machinery. I do laser stuff. I do $1 a minute per cut. My machine is expensive and repairs will be expensive.
Thanks for sharing. People always ask me if there is a market for embroidery. It's what you do with it that makes it profitable.
Thank you for this video; you answered a lot of questions people have about embroidery. I like that you talked about being proactive in evaluating items that make more profit for you. Great advice! I hope 2022 is your best year ever!

I make custom rugs and one thing I’ve learned is everyone’s gonna try and play your pricing always stand firm on your worth .
The longer we do this the more we realize! So glad your ahead of it so you can come and tell us! 🤣🤗
Bahahahahahahahaha
Second that. I’m learning a lot in just a year on Etsy! 🤯
Valuable information, Thank you Angela for sharing❤️
Glad it was helpful!
You are a very smart young lady, with great energy and motivational skills. Great video, thanks!
Hi Angela! I've been binge watching your videos since 2021. I have a cricut and can't find the courage to start or zero in on something. I lost my job and have been really struggling mentally. I have a young daughter i independently support... Your videos are so Motivational and inspire me to do something and pull myself up again. Stay blessed and thanks
Hi Yaya, I’m in your same shoes…I bought a Cricut Maker 3 months ago and it’s still in the box. Trying to figure out what I think I would be good at and would be profitable at the same time. Lately I’ve been watching several videos using the Cricit to get confident enough to just get started. I decided that I just need to make the move and stop over analyzing it. Good luck to you! Make the move you can do it!
Hope u finally did it ❤
Beginning is powerful! Then concentrate on doing and learning and forget the second guessing and doubt. Designs can be made and tested on the Cricut then uploaded to be sold as POD stickers.
@@misselevate5442 The only time you fail is when you don't start. I tell my children this..I also tell them that the dream will change..so don't overthink..do..it will come..
I have learned so much from you. Thank you do much . You are the reason I decided to get into embroidery. I bought the se600 last year for my birthday it came just in time for my birthday. I was so happy. The pass Christmas I had the opportunity to put it to work . So much I am considering getting a multi needle. I live in the Caribbean so I feel like I am limited as to my choices. I also don't have a lot of money and would probably have to take a loan.
you have taught me everything i know about embroidery i just upgraded to a innovis nq1700e something i thought i would never do but i love learning so much from you. can you tell me where you sell your hoodies i have bought tshirts from you and love them keep teaching angela please
You are killing it!!!!!
Isn't she THO???!!! I Love it and I love her energy!
Thanks for the insight Angela!
Any time!
Great topic Angela
Hey Angela love your videos. What’s your favorite multi needle machine? I have a baby lock six needle thinking of getting a second machine.
Thank you Ms. Angela. I needed that!!! Bye11
I love your videos. You helped me learn how to do appliqué and get started in this industry and thank you for putting out all the info you do.
Awesome! Thank you!

Hello Angela , I am a new Subscriber. I wanted to thank you to take the time to share all the usual information for this beautiful Art of Embroidery....Can I ask you are you digitising all your designs ...? I am a beginner here with one needle machine combo and still learning..probably not a good .....machine for doing specific things like shirts ...and the starting cost is definitely expensive for all...in particular for purchasing a multi needle...I wish I can have at least one ....but I cannot afforded a multi needle at the moment...Thanks again for your expertise and advices....:)
Angela you are always so inspiring thank you for all your inspiring videos

Hi Angela many Blessings to you. Can you go over setting up an embroidery business with licenses and keeping track of taxes. What method t fry o you use to keep track of being compliant. Thank you
Now I understand the need for more than one machine. Answered by own question. I’ll keep watching your YT because it is very informative. I had a sewing service that included embroidery. Too many irons in the fire and tried to do it all. Not recommended. 😢

Great video! thank you! My favorite thing to do are baseballs. LOVE LOVE! where do you get most of your designs? I seem to be stuck on Embroidery Library :/
How do you do baseballs, out of curiosity? I know they do them, but I’m assuming you have a professional embroidery machine?
Angela, Where do you get your hoodie blanks from? im currently searching for hoodies but im not sure what brand to go with.
Where could I get the best prices for hoodies joggers and hats, and what do you prefer 6 roll machine or 12 and do you Prefer the machines that you are working with better then Others
Thank you for giving us all this advice its helped me so much. I am one of those persons that struggle with pricing my items which I hope to get better at this year.
Hi Angela, would you recommend ricoma or melco? Just went to an exhibition in Birmingham (UK) now really confused, I have a Brother VR single needle already, but wanted to get something bigger, thank you for your videos
do you keep track of your business on your computer calendar or do you use a business planner?
Great information 👍🏽 Angela
Glad it was helpful!
Your craft room just looks awesome
Thank youuuuuu
I love your videos thank you for searching. But Wholesale should I look into.
There’s something so beautiful in a strong, independent, hard working woman. Not to mention the way you carry yourself….DAMN….Don’t ever change for anyone or anything! HUGZ Darlin
Thank you for all of your insight.
My pleasure!
Thank you! Starting my embroidery business. I'm making samples now and the etsy store will be up hopefully by thr weekend. I purchased a Brother LB5000 single needle, I know ugh single needle.
Angela, Another Great video! I have been preparing to launch my business for the last year and one of the things I have been doing is “testing” items to sell. For each item I make a cost sheet (I did accounting for small businesses for years but felt that side of me fought with my artistic side). My cost sheets end up showing me whether or not it makes sense. However, there are a few items I do which will not be as profitable but I love doing them (need to feed the soul) so I may include them. There have been some items I have tested and said “never again” but it was still good to test. Not everything will be a winner but you have shown us that with hard work, tenacity and constant re-evaluation of your business you can make it. Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing💕 new subscriber 🙌
Welcome!!
my question is i really want to start embroidery but i want to know your thoughts on what machine i should start with i don´t want the 4x4 hoop i was looking at a babylock or persona
Thank you for this video. I would like to know where you get your hoodies from. Thanks Sonia H.
Hi Angela. May I ask you all pleaaase. I am thinking I wanna do something like you do. But for me to spend once only for the machine, do you guys think I can get a multineedle immediately? Or I really need to start from a beginner's machine first? Thank you.... ❤️ 😊
Thank you for this video.!
My pleasure!
Great video Thank you
Similar to you, I don’t have a business personality, but I have the desire and the embroidery equipment to do so. I have no real idea as to what to embroider on my blanks and how to get started
Thanks Angela!
Any time!
In one of your videos, you are available to talk about selling licenses on Etsy and Flea Market? I have some concern about it.
I’ve moved to zig zag stitch and bean stitch applique designs because they are quicker to stitch out! I am too impatient now for satin stitch
AJ I used to do felties, I didn’t know the market is hot for it. I am realizing it now as the cost is minimal and you don’t need personalization. You can embroider ahead and have inventory on hand when people order you can ship same day or next day unlike personalized shirt. Umm 🤔 I might be listing my feltie again. Going to look into that market again. I’m planning a video presentation soon on what kind of niches are within the embroidery market? We only think of T-shirt only because that’s what we see mostly but omg I’m realizing now there’s so many other niches that only have quick stitch out and sold way better. Quicker the stitch out the more profitable because you can sell make more and sell more than a T-shirt that takes 1 hour to do minus all the appliqué prep and cut. 🤯
What exactly is a “Feltie”? Obviously, I assume it’s made of felt, but what is the item?
Hi,
I'm planning on buying an embroidery machine- baby lock flare, it's cheap compared with the Capella machine. However, I'd like your input as to what would you recommend. Do you know which one would be better to buy? I want to start my embroidery business, but I am not sure what to sell yet.
Thank you.
@angela where do you buy your whole sale hats & hoodies?
Hey where’d you get that work bench in the middle of your office?
how much are those machines back there lol you look like your doing pretty good!my cousin wants hats 50 to be exact with his company logo on them. yes he wants a certain type of hat so im not sure what to sell him the hat for
Cool thank you hope to learn more
Thank you for this video as usual you always come through with greatness.
I appreciate that!
May I ask where you get the big spools of thread
Can you or have you already done a video on stabilizers and how to prevent puckering. My biggest challenge.
sort of off topic I'm 63 and looking to slow down and work from home always had an interest in embroidery. I notice in your vids that you do different things and thought you may have an opinion you're the ben their done that. Question If a person me wanted to start a home business would you start with printing shirts etc. or embroidering. Both would be ideal but interested in your opinion. Thank You
Great info. Thsnkyou
What are the best fonts for embroidery?
I’m new to embroidery, I was wondering if you would recommend embroidering on cloth face mask and if so is there a special way because I have heard that in some cases it can compromise the protection of the mask?
As an RN, I think doing embroidery on the masks could compromise the protection of them, as embroidering makes numerous extra holes in the fabric for viruses & bacteria to go through! I’m considering making some with transfers on them. That allows some creativity, without making the extra holes. Ideally, the fewer holes in them & the fewer gaps around the edges, the better.
I’m new to the language. What is a channel? Is YT considered a channel vs advertising on Etsy?
Do you have an inventory or do you do orders?
Hats are a pain for me as I'm stuck right now with a flatbed single needle. The softer ones aren't too bad but sometimes they are a pita.
Did you stitch that on the hoodie?
I want to start doing Embroidery for t-shirt and hat wish macchine would you recommend for me?
Do you buy your designs already digitized or do you outsource that to a particular company?
I'm expert embroidery digitizer designer YOUR need to digitizing please connect me
What type of hats do you use the most for embroidery? Any brands recommendations?
Hey Pasadena, I usually use richardson hats
thank you so much .
What make is the machine behind you and for how much is it ?
Looks interesting If any one have a proper guidance please let me know
I immediately paused the video and looked up the embroidered rag. I am sure my face turned red 🤦🏻♀️😂😂😂
Where do you get blanks from? What are some decent websites?
Embroidery is a LUXURY
Thank youuu I couldn't think of the worddddddd
Hello Angela. I’m considering buying a embroidery machine and I know lots of potential customers. Do I need a license to have a embroidery business? Thank you for the video I appreciate your feedback.
I can’t remember which video you mentioned where you get your hoodies from. Would you be able to list that in the description or just list it in a reply? Thank you!!
