So what do you need to get started? Most important, you’ll need a good embroidery sewing machine. If you already have one, you’re in good shape for a beginning business.

You will also need to set aside an area for your workspace. This area should have tables to use for sorting and laying out projects. And it should have bins or plastic containers on shelves to keep your work and supplies organized. You’d be surprised how quickly a work space turns into a cluttered mess, when you are busy filling orders!

Don’t forget that, because you’re in business, you also need a desk, phone, fax, and some basic office supplies. You don’t want to miss any orders because you didn’t hear the phone ring.

You can easily make customized garments and gifts for friends and neighbors in your community, and they will become walking advertisements for your business.

But most of your marketing will be directed toward specific groups or individuals. And, instead of a shotgun approach where you try to get business from anyone and everyone, it’s best to target a niche, or specific kind of customer. Here are some possibilities:

• Sports teams – Little Leagues, school teams
• Companies – company work uniforms, corporate shirts with logos for “casual” days
• Golf and country clubs – with their logo and name
• Yacht clubs
• Retail stores – logos on casual shirts for employees
• Bowling alleys – for various teams
• Military units
• Special events – marathons, festivals, brewfests
• T shirts – resorts, tourist shops, tourist attractions, ski resorts
• Fund raisers
• Sports, hunting and fishing clubs
• Microbreweries, restaurants, taverns – shirts with logos and names
