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.

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.
