"The learning curve is slacking off a little but I don't think it will ever
end in this business" ......
Funny you mention that. I have been embroidering for 8 years and digitizing
for about 5 and I learn something new almost every day. It would probably
get boring if things didn't change on a regular business. I get a kick out
of my customers coming in and being so fascinated with the machines and how
you turn something on paper or disk into a beautiful embroidered garment. I
have a few customers that sit and watch the machines for at least 10 min
every time they are here, its just as fascinating to them every time :)
