    LOL Matt! You crack me up with the embroidery/man card talk! Card or no card - go for it! I totally understand and appreciate your honesty about being intimidated initially. I felt the same way when I got my first laser a year ago. New adventures are always exciting/scary!
    I have say, watching you with your new machine has got me thinking about doing that too.
    Just know I appreciate videos like these.

    I’m excited for more videos of this. I was looking into this about 8 months ago but decided against it since I needed to focus on learning how to run my laser and light burn. Boy my wife is gonna be upset with you when I buy this, because Matt told me to. I’m gonna try and talk my 20 year old daughter into doing it hopefully so she can start her own business.

    Thanks so much for doing these videos, they truly are an inspiring me to get my business off the ground. When you say "make $100k" are you talking revenue or profit. I'm finding that this is quite possible with my lasers, and have been thinking about including embroidery, but I don't know what realistic numbers are for it.

    • @laserengravingwithmatt
      @laserengravingwithmatt  8 месяцев назад +1

    Can you use mighty hoops with that machine? I have a Ricoma EM1010, a Janome MB4, 4 needle and a Husqvarna Epic single needle. I use mighty hoops for both of my multi needles. I am thinking about adding another multi needle but it must have a laser and able to use mighty hoops. My hands are not what they use to be so hooping with regular hoops is out! Love your videos and wish you all the success!!

    Looking forward to watching you delve into embroidery. Over the winter I plan on learning embroidery myself. I bought a machine back in the Spring and am about to dive head first into it. Also have been thinking about getting a laser so I too can add leather patches for caps. Already have a lot of people telling me they plan on buying. Now all I have to do is learn how to operate the dang thing. LOL

      @@laserengravingwithmatt We use Embrilliance but some people swear by Hatch software. I would advise you not to worry too much about learning to digitize right now, You really need to get some experience doing embroidery before you start digitizing. What I would advise is to find yourself a person or company that offers digitizing as a service and build up a good relationship with them. We have a person in India that does excellent work (& fast!) We charge a one time setup fee to cover our costs of producing designs for customers, that covers our costs to have the artwork digitized and a test run. Always test run your designs before putting it on a garment or you will cry, trust me. A good digitizer will fix any problems with their designs.
