Embroidery Toolbox
Erich: Tell our listeners a little about yourself and how you found yourself in our industry.
Terry: Seeing the projects you share, you have more of a ‘retail’ look than we’re used to seeing in b2b embroidery. How do you think the mindset differs between traditional, commercial embroidery and the things you do?
Erich: The headline for today is all about elevating the embroidery ‘toolbox’ – when you talk about the ‘tools’ embroiderers have at their disposal, what do you mean? Literal tools, software, techniques – let’s talk about that embroidery arsenal.
Terry: Obviously, you are always looking to elevate design and execution in your work. Why do you think that’s important for the shops out there? What effect does elevating your work have?
Terry: Once folks are doing this elevated work, you have to get customers on board to do more. What are your top short tips for getting a customer to be more creative with their merch?
Erich: We always like to leave with an opportunity to gain any last insights. What would be the #1 piece of advice for new or established embroiderers who want to elevate their work?
Terry: How can our listeners reach out to you?
