Finding Your Niche With An Embroidery Digitizing Business

You have everything in place to start an embroidery digitizing business. You've done all your research. You have a business plan in place and have contracted out for your own website.
With all of the competition out there, how do you make yourself stand out from the crowd?

When you are first starting out, you may decide that you want to focus on a certain type of image to digitize into an embroidery pattern. You may choose dragons, flowers or frogs. If you focus on similar pictures at first, you will get faster at doing these type of images. Not only will you get faster at digitizing these pictures into embroidery patterns, but you will get better at it.

If this is how you decide to start out with digitizing embroidery patterns, you will want to choose a niche that you are interested in. When you are digitizing a new design, you will need to embroider it to make sure that it turns out okay. If you don't like dragons or faeries, and that is the type of image you are digitizing into embroidery patterns, not only will you have samples around that you aren't interested in, but you won't feel the urge to get the images as close to perfect as you would if you love flowers and you are digitizing flower images into embroidery patterns.

If you are going to offer to digitize images that people send you into embroidery patterns, you will eventually want experience at digitizing a variety of images, not just the type of images in your niche. When you work by request, you will be working with a wide variety of images to digitize into embroidery patterns, not simply one specific type.

Something that really needs to be mentioned any time that you talk about doing specialized work for customers. With people sending images to you to digitize into embroidery patterns, you may face another issue that you haven't seen mentioned before. When you buy a digitized embroidery pattern file at the store, the company who digitized these patterns will have paid to use any trademarked images.

That's is something very important that you will want to keep in mind. The NFL, collegiate teams or large corporations such as Disney will sue anyone using their trademarked images without permission. You will get a letter before they take you to court, but don't count on being able to just slide by. The big companies have lawyers and are always looking for people who are breaking copyright laws.

There are plenty of legal ways to get around the copyright laws, however if you have any doubts about whether you are violating these laws, your best bet is to play it safe.

Embroidery and Screen Printings Tools of The Trade

Having the right equipment in the Embroidery and Screen Printing business, seems to make or brake you.

When we first started out we bought a commercial Embroidery machine and a Clam Shell Heat Press. Our thought process was that we would target companies and schools who needed Embroidery, and Heat Transfers. Our dealer also showed us a revolutional screen printing machine called, Direct-To-Garment Printers. We knew we couldn't compete with other companies with so view tools. We went back to the dealer and ask them to sell us the new machine.

Now we were armed with a full array of weapons to stand strong against our competitors. As we found out, we only had three pieces of the puzzle. We had to have more to make sure we could cover every aspect of the embroidery and screen printing business.

After watching a video about Sublimation, We were lucky enough to find an Epson 1280 printer on ebay for about half the cost else where. Though we still needed more tools, we quickly learn to create strategic alliances, and save money at the same time. Our alliances had the tools that we didn't have, and we had the tools they didn't have.

Now with many alliances, we found we don't need as much equipment to give our customers the best service possible. In fact, we outsource some of our work, especially when we need a well deserved vacation.

Take the time to start your business, if not keep learning as much as you can to keep you prepared for the next order you customers request. If you can't get enough equipment, than know where to send your work. You'll feel relieved to know someone else can do the work the way you want it and can provide your client with the same high quality as you do. www.embroideryandscreenprinting.com.

Paul Canales is the owner of Selanac Embroidery and Screen Printing. His experiences have helped him to succeed is this business that seemed to be saturated with other Embroiderers and Screen Printers. SWFeast's equipment also adds strength to this competitive busines.

Some Information on Embroidery

 Some Information on Embroidery

 by: Mike Yeager

Embroidery is the detail work for sewing. It is the small, intricate designs on fabric that make it so beautiful. A good eye and much talent produces a beautiful design whether it is on a pillow case, a table cloth, or even the cuff of a dress shirt. Whether it is machine embroidery or hand done, it adds an extra elegance to an item. Embroidery designs, while widely available in fabric stores, can also be found online. Free embroidery designs are also available, mostly for trade online as well.

To learn to embroider or the art of embroidery, much information and training is required. Mainly, this can be done through experience. Too find information on the skill and techniques, check out a few how to books at the local library or purchase them at a nearby book store. Or, if the beginner is Internet savvy, doing some simple research online will also produce a wide selection of knowledge. Knowing someone who is experienced in this area will also benefit the student.

Whether a small flower or a detailed design of an animal, embroidery is very well sought after. There is a large market out there for handmade designs like this. Someone who is advanced enough to do detail work, can earn an income from doing it. There is a large market for finely produced work online as well. People who frequent online auction websites are willing to pay for quality work. Or, it is possible to find a company willing to provide work. Another place to sell embroidery designs and work is at local craft fairs where people can browse through finished products to purchase.

Many people who do embroidery, do so as a hobby though. Maybe they are creating an heirloom to hand down to their grandchildren. Maybe they are creating a design with their family name and their descendants or ancestors on it. Definitely a way to use skills and talents! Well worth the effort and hard work!
