Loved the video! Thank you for sharing. I'm working on a corporate exit strategy. I'm no longer interested in climbing the corporate ladder and would very much prefer to work for myself. I have a flatbed Janome and I've been practicing. I'll be converting my garage into my shop. Saving up for a Bai. Excited!

That's great!!! Hoping so badly to convert my garage this year.

When I started looking at embroidery machines I spent hours watching KZfaq videos. Weeding through the paid promotions reviews. I had my eye on the 850 because of the movable hoop. My searching went on, Husqvarna, holy cow!!! Night sights kept going up, bigger brother on a stand, next multi needle. Ended up with a Happy Japan. A $500.00 machine turned into thousands of dollars.

They get expensive that's for sure! Both of my machines total $25,000

Yeah, I know what you mean, it's hard! I'm new to embrodeiry so I don't know if I am ready to do customs designs, it makes me feel nervous! Another thing that I am planning is to do Arts and Crafts fairs to see if I have better luck there:) Thank you for all your tips!

@KaylaKrische Күн бұрын

I find custom designs easier! I just take the customers logo, get it digitized, and stitch it out. No running the rat race of trying to stand out with the same Etsy designs as everyone else :)

I wanted to thank you for spreading the word on using 65/9 needles. I discovered this trick last year and use them on just about anything.

@KaylaKrische 4 күн бұрын

No problem! I'm always surprised how many people are shocked when I say 65/9.

Thank you for answering my question. I will be changing my policy to include payment in full.

Hi, Kayla! My name is Nisey and I have en Etsy store. I learned from this video that you're not on Etsy anymore. I opened my store more than a month ago and so far, crickets!! Could you help me figure it out what I need to do or what am I doing wrong? I have spent so much money on buying shirts, embroidery designs, a baby lock machine that I will be paying for 4 years, packaging supplies, etc. I still have a full time job but my goals is to be my own boss someday. Love your personality and videos!!

@KaylaKrische 3 күн бұрын

Hi Nisey! Thanks for being here and for the kind words. Etsy is definitely a hard game to play! You really really have to have your pictures and descriptions dialed in to perfection. If you're doing the same stock designs AND same mockups as a bunch of other shops, it's going to be really hard to stand out. I would come up with your own spin on those designs and make sure your pictures stand out. I've heard TikTok shops is a good way to drive traffic, but I've never used it myself. I much prefer the custom market where I make items for other businesses instead of the same design as a million others on Etsy.

I would love to be a full service shop! But first I need a cap press and a decent cutter!

@KaylaKrische 4 күн бұрын

The Grapthec cutters from Heat Press nation start at a decent price! Honestly, I still just have a Cricut for a cutter. I barely use it, but that's what I have lol I do have a vevor hat press from amazon, but I'm learning more about how important that lower heat platent is for adhering leather patches. The Hotronix IQ from Stahls is PRICEY, but seems to be the best on the market. That's what I'm currently saving up for.

Hi, thank you for this video. I recently purchased a used Ricoma TC1501 and still learning. I tried using your link to amazon for embroidery thread but the link just takes me to the Amazon website. Can you please share what bobbin you use?

@KaylaKrische 3 күн бұрын

Sorry about that! I need to go through those and update them. I use these bobbins from allstitch. I think the link to the bobbins i use to have were for the PE800. Here's for the TC. allstitch.com/products/coats-v15-trusew-embroidery-bobbins-size-l-white-1223?ref=gyexojix

Hi. Thanks for the video. Question - How do you take custom orders? Do you take them through a website or a different way? I also do custom orders and take my orders through IG or word of mouth but want to improve my process. Also, what program do you use for your invoices? Thinks in advance

@KaylaKrische 4 күн бұрын

I actually just did a video on taking custom orders. Here's a link! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y6ihqM9hub6neac.htmlsi=CSh1mbj6cbSs2Xm8 I am working on my website though to stream line everything. Right now it's mostly just they email me and then I send them an invoice through quickbooks.

Thank you for the info on the 65/9 needle! I used it for the first time with 60 weight thread on fine detail, do you use the 40 weight or 60 weight thread?

@KaylaKrische 4 күн бұрын

I use both weights! It just depends on what I'm stitching out. Most of the time I use 40, but use 60 for small lettering and fine details just like you said.
