Embroidery Education and Fun

Terry: As frequently happens with the Reggies, we learned about your channel from your dedicated followers’ nominations. What made you decide to take that route for teaching?

Aaron: Unlike some of the online content we’ve seen in your space, you have not only tips videos but structured, project-driven classes that your ‘students’ can participate in. What do you think your students get from these scheduled classes and how does this integrate with the Facebook Group?

Terry: In our pre-interview, you said your teaching style is geared to make people feel confident and ‘at ease’ – What’s different about the way you teach that gives people that confidence?

Aaron: Many of your projects and classes are more what we might expect to see in the craft/home embroidery market. Though a lot of the skills in digitizing are applicable on both sides of the home/commercial split, do you see a lot of classic logo work or apparel decorators taking an interest in your groups?

Terry: We have seen a lot of crossover lately between embroidery hobbyists and cottage-industry decorators. What do you wish that the commercial folks would teach the home/cottage industry embroiderers?

Aaron: So what is the one tip you would give someone who came to you with little or no experience to get them going?

Terry: What is the most common Facebook Group question you get?

Aaron: What final thoughts would you like to share with the listeners, and where can people find more from you and OML Embroidery?

Terry: Thanks again, Sue for coming on today and sharing insights about your channel.
