    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

      @barearsed 9 месяцев назад +1

      @@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.
