I kinda have to laugh every time I go into the sewing and embroidery supply shop to get some more colors or stabilizer lol there usually a couple of blue hairs milling about an me in there. The lady I usually buy stuff from always tries to getme to do some of there classes somewhow I think I may stand out in there
I hear ya Dave every now and again I have to run to the fabric store to look for something. At first they talk to me like I'm a child.... Then once they find out what I do, they have a bunch of questions. I always tell them they should learn boats and cars..... Pays better than quilts. LOL. When I have things embroidered now the shop I go to sends the image out to get "digitize" I think she said the company that dose it is out if china. It takes 2 days to a few hours... She charges me $35 for it. I'm willing to bet that's prob the best route to take since your not wasting time setting the image up.

yep, it actually use to cost me right around a hundred to get an image digitized, price has come down a bunch over the years. Some stuff I can do from scratch but more complex stuff I still send out. I dont use it a lot so im not real proficient, I need to put more time into it. The stuff I've done so far is cool but took me while.
