Some very good points about an embroidery business made in previous posts.
I think many newcomers to embroidery are ill informed and unrealistic about
their business expectations because they are often fed a lot of misinformation
by company advertising, overzealous sales people and clueless friends, family
or advisors.
How many in this group have heard:
- if you have an embroidery machine, all you do is pop in the design hit a
button and the machine does all the work.
- with this digitizing software, it is very easy to create your own designs.
- you will learn all you need to know about embroidery in our 2 day training
course
- buy this machine / software and you will be able to quit your job and be your
own boss
- the potential for a return on your investment is very good
The truth is, embroidery has a huge learning curve and there is no such thing
as instant success and riches in this business.
It takes months to learn and understand machine operation, maintenance and
adjustment. Add to that all there is to know about stabilization, hooping,
material characteristics, solving stitching problems, etc. and for many people
it simple becomes overwhelming.
For those who wish to learn to digitize, expect to spend months at it before
you even begin to grasp what it takes to make a good design. The good
digitizers are the ones who have years of experience, knowledge and practice
under their belt. Buying digitizing software does not make someone a digitizer.
Most newcomers who start an embroidery business can expect to lose money [or
at best clear very little] in that first year or two of operation.
Not trying to discourage anyone here .....just being realistic.
