[amayausers] Re: NNEP

Karen,

Good Luck!

I found out about NNEP when I was calling around talking to individuals in the 
business before I got my machine.  It is an organziation that provides support, 
training, and access to case pricing. Initially I joined for the case pricing 
and then was able to attend the NNEP conference in Greensburg NC in the spring. 
 It was truly AWESOME.  Lots of sessions geared for beginners.  Great speakers, 
fun, truly motivational!  Wonderful oportunity to meet people and network.  
They have a garage sale for members to sell any products / materials.  FUN!  It 
was held at the Embassy Suites and I think they do that every year.  There are 
lots of vendors who set up to display and sell Friday night and Saturday 
morning/early afternoon.  Instead of one LARGE SPACE each vendor is in a suite 
and you have lots of time to spend with each vendor...asking lots of questions, 
etc.  It made it much more personal.  The next spring conference is in Lincoln 
Nebraska.  You can visit the web page at www.nn
 ep.net  If you decide to join, and would pass on my name that would be GREAT!  
They give a discount on membership renewals for referrals. (but that has 
nothing to do with a strong endorsement...just a bonus!)

Aaron was kind enough to give the link to access embroideryline.  I found that 
6-8 months after being on the Amaya list.  Initially it's overwhelming because 
it can be 40 - 60 messages in a given day.
Now I look forward to reading all the posts with my coffee in the morning...or 
late at night (minus the coffee). Most get immediately deleted but lots of 
information to add to my 3x5 card file of sources for specific items.  You may 
not need something now...but might down the road...then you kick yourself for 
not writing down the info you read some time earlier.  It's a great resource to 
learn what's going on beyond embroidery, as many of the list are involved in 
silk-screening, sublimation, promotional products,etc.
Have also received lots of assistance and guidance from individuals for 
sourcing of designs, products, services, etc. Made a friend who I e-mail or 
call on occassion.... you should enjoy it and find it incredibly hellpful.  It 
is also a GREAT REALITY CHECK as the list is owners of ALL MACHINE TYPES and 
you read that they all have problems from time to time...  It's amazing that it 
also took me 4-6 months to find the amaya list when I bought my machine.  Both 
lists provide similar and extremely valuable information and support!  So glad 
to be on both!
