Wonderful video, thanks. I’m so glad I’ve finally found someone in the UK. I shall be binge watching your videos now. This is exactly what I want to do. ❤❤

[@geristaff3009]

Thank you for this insight, it's so good to finally find someone based in the UK making embroidery video's which is more relevant for me. I've watched so many over the past couple of years but all American so this made a nice change. Keep up the good work

Hi! Thank you for your comment. I am so glad you are enjoying the videos :)

[@fghandmade]

Thank you for these great tips. I was gifted an embroidery machine for Christmas and I have been making gifts for friends and family for practice. I have been enjoying it so much and hope to offer my services soon for business. Love your channel! You have inspired me to purchase a Happy Japan machine one day soon...I am saving up for it. While I have seen so many videos on Ricoma, Brother and Melco you are the first to showcase the Happy Japan and I am convinced this is the machine for me. Thank you for sharing!

Hi! Thank you so much for your comment, I was lovely to read. All best to you are your business :D

[@Barbarajhere]

You are a gem! Thank you for being transparent, teaching and sharing the good & not so great.

[@scrapbookshopplanner6084]

Thank you for all your videos, it is so good of you to explain things like this xxx

[@pinkbirdembroidery8281]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for the comment 😁

[@Mrgeo67]

Thank you for this video. Great insight! I'm in the U.S. and just recently started my embroidery business. I've been working with my machine nonstop, every single day since I got it. I'm learning little by little and slowly building up my business. Videos like this help a lot. Greetings from my block to yours and I have subscribed :) P.S. I couldn't help but notice the beautiful view and beautiful weather in the background at the time you recorded this video :)

[@pinkbirdembroidery8281]

Hello 👋 thank you for your comment I hope you business is growing and I'm glad you found the video helpful. It's rare that we have nice weather in the UK which is why my videos are few and far between because if it the sun isn't shining they always look very dark haha

[@Mrgeo67]

@@pinkbirdembroidery8281 You're welcome and again, thank you for your video. My business is growing little by little. I'm giving it 100%! I'm in the west Texas desert and we get a lot of sun over here. I love it when we have them cloudy days. Thank you for the reply and take care!

Hi Lauren, great content, it may have already been mentioned but as of july’23 the links to the resources you mention, appear to be not yet active.

[@pinkbirdembroidery8281]

Thank you for pointing this out! I must have done something wrong when uploading/forgot to copy them in. This has been updated.

[@Chris_Kopinski]

Very timely. I got my Happy Voyager two months ago and haven't even turned it on yet! Still "learning" with my single-needle and digitizing software. That Voyager will be used today!

[@pinkbirdembroidery8281]

It can be very intimidating but I hope it works well for you! Once you start it gets easier

[@SilViutZa207]

So helpful. I’m waiting for my machine ❤❤❤

[@nzcalling]

Thank you for your informative and snappy video.

[@bobsamurai]

any thoughts on heat press for patches? Still using irons and all the reasonably priced presses have bad reviews lol

[@wumzable]

Thank you for making this video, I am currently transitioning into an embroidery business and your videos have been very helpful ❤

[@pinkbirdembroidery8281]

Thank you so much for your comment! I am so glad you find the videos helpful it is great to hear :D

[@douayang4life]

Thank you for sharing some very helpful information, especially the master hoop.

[@pinkbirdembroidery8281]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you for the comment

[@Buccsreallyraw]

You definitely cooked with your website. That shit looks super ‼️

[@pinkbirdembroidery8281]

Thank you! It’s taken me like 6 six attempts to make something I happy with 😅

[@collettegay1432]

I have gifted to some family and they don’t help me out. They don’t spread the word for me. In fact they discourage me from doing anything. I’m 51 years old and my mom is still trying to control me. She gets on to me if I’m joking around with my husband. Telling me to leave him alone and I better treat him right. She even controlled my kids. Telling me and my kids what to do, what not to do, what to say, what not to say. When I left my job she told me I need to find a job and not stay at home. My sister in law doesn’t work and my mom doesn’t tell her to find a job.

[@susanknight9144]

Family is a crappy way to try and make money or advertise for you, I learned that in my last home business. Friends and Kim will do you in lol

[@johnwest3953]

This young lady is advising us how to set up an embroidery shop. You need to speak to an agony aunt, or tell your mum where to go! Grow up and get on with your life!!!!

[@BraziLoko]

This isnt counselling

[@johnwest3953]

@@BraziLoko Exactly.

[@AS-oj3cw]

Ugh I'm so sorry to hear that! Sounds like your mom has control issues. I hope you have found some hope and freedom

Hi thanks for your videos they are so interesting, I’m new in embroidery, I’m thinking on start my small business, I see a happy HCA on sale for $2000 dollars just want to know if you think it’s a good idea to start with this machine ?

[@rutavitkauskaite7512]

Very informative video. How long did it take to work full time for yourself?

[@pinkbirdembroidery8281]

I think about 2 years after I started my business ☺️

[@ada.solori0]

Super helpful 😊

[@petiovishnevski1510]

Hey, thanks for the video! I am considering starting an embroidery shop as well😄 can you tell me from where in europe can I order the hoop master stand and hoops?

[@pinkbirdembroidery8281]

I purchased mine from ETC Supplies :)

Hello miss.....my name is pramod,I from India...i am very much interested in learning and starting this business.....Can u help me out in choosing the embroidery machine...plz kindly reply, 🙏

[@heatherg4945]

What do you find is your best means of income? Shows, internet sales, people you know, selling to stores.

[@pinkbirdembroidery8281]

Online sales for sure! But selling at shows is a nice bit of extra cash

[@ATHIRSTYHEART]

@@pinkbirdembroidery8281 your videos are very encouraging and informative. The Happy Japan, definitely seems like the way to go on the business side. Just dive straight in? :)

[@elevated-apparel]

I switched to full-time printing and embroidery but sale a pretty slow. Need to get clientele. I have a etsy store and it's slow. I get orders here and there but not a contestant flow.

[@andu4384]

Got same with my family... can't count on any

[@ginavargas3528]

Hiiii do you offer digitized characters?

[@pinkbirdembroidery8281]

I don’t sorry 😔

[@ginavargas3528]

Hiii…can I use my hot press machine on your patches? Please❤

[@pinkbirdembroidery8281]

Hi! Yes you can. The settings I use to press my patches are 303 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 seconds and it works great

[@EMB-585]

Thanks for the great video. appreciate all your help & tips.
