My mother's sewing machine does embroidery. I can give you her phone number. I think she embroidered some baby clothes once.

(Just a bump, actually.)

I just sold the SWF that I accquired last fall-- The lady who now does my sewing has a "Baurden" (spelling is probably wrong) She probably has $10000-$20000 in the equipment, and then you have to babysit it the entire time it does all the work.

Too much "work" for me to get that interested in it enough to invest that much money and time. But the people who have them seem to be doing okay.

I went to some training in Ft. Worth for the SWF stuff if that would help you in any way.

been dabling with small scale embroidery for a bit now

just a janome 300e at present but Devo tells me that he has his eye on a second hand multihead machine that he reconds he can get for a good price

who knows where that will lead

I found of course that the software used for embroidery is so lacking in user friendlyness (is that even a word?)

so made it my mission to discover what program best suited the skills I already had with the work that I wanted to do

The machine came bundled with "Digitiser"...yuk
I found "Generations"... semi yuk
Triped over "Embird"... now were are talking

then ended up right back where I should have started with a Corel product called "Drawings"

now anyone who knows me will tell you that if it says Corel on the lable then I'm happy (grin)

so I create all that I need or want in the program I am most comfortable with

then just click a button and like magic Drawing converts everything to stitch pattern... life is good!

I don't pretend to know lots about the embroidery world, but at least the software is no longer a problem

cheers

En route to Montreal now for training. Roughing it at Le Manoir Richelieu again... life is good

Embroiderer training is 1/2 day. software training for digitizer is 3 days, software is called Illustrator - but it's not related to the adobe company. Thanks for headsup on Corel package,

I bought single head machine for now, anticipate multihead as we learn the business and market.
