Making Money Embroidering

Most of us start Embroidery as a hobby and what a great hobby it is but have you considered selling your embroidery items that you make? "It wouldnt be enough to give up my day job" you may say, but there are alot of people who have made a substancial income from embroidery. People love personalized items and yes it is a competative market but from personal experience i can tell you it can pay1. I am not going to give my niche away because to make a decent ammount of money you need to find your own unique product. Embroidery Machines have come a very long way, i personaly have had machines that can embroider few garments and then other machines that embroider stuff you wouldnt think possible. The key is to customise!
Get your thinking caps on to all those who would love to make money from embroidery it can be very rewarding.
Selling your embroidery gifts is simple you have the following ways
Local shops (example is if you embrodiery golf shirts apporoach gold shops)
Local craft fayres
ebay
craft websites, many charge nothing
and best of all your own website where you can build a nice little business and focus on returning customers, it is possible to find a niche in the market and following simple seo tips you can get your website loads of traffic.

Embroidery Designs for Beginners

Machine Embroidery is a wondrful hobby and the things you can create are endless. Some start it as a pure hobby others venture into machine embroidery for business purposes. Whatever your reasons for starting this amazing craft as a beginner you will want all the help you can get.

Deciding which design to Embroider first as a beginner is important. There has never been such a vast ammount of embrodiery designs available.
But what if you are just beginning your stitching and aren’t quite sure what its going to take in time and energy. What if you aren’t quite sure which materials will be easier to work with until your skill level grows and your confidence in your own ability begins to develop.

The more complex pattern pieces will take a great deal of time.

Beginning any new craft is time consuming and learning the methods that are needed to accomplish the embroidery design you want to make won’t always come to you instantly.
For the beginning embroiderer, one of the best methods is to check the pattern.
For a first embroidery design you may want to choose one that is smaller and less complex so that you don’t become discouraged, If you go straight in and tackle a large design and it doesnt turn out right you will have to eliminate various problems. It could be your thread tension, your backing paper or even the design may not be digitized correctly. If you choose a simple design to start with this will help you set off on the right track.
