Free Embroidery Designs

Like I am guessing this would cost a ton more money than I am expecting. So like how much does it cost to start your own online clothing store business? I know how to design websites because that is what I am studying in college so I can make my own site but like how does one go about starting an online clothing business? I am curious to know! Thanks.

Not much! don’t fall into the trap of big cartel and all those shit websites where you can put your products up and put prices up, the coding is horrible and unconventional if you expand in the future. Buy a do!main and hosting (£10-£20), use WordPress to get a custom theme and pump your logo into it, (Free!) then find a plugin for WordPress that offers e-shopping capabilities, there will be LOADS!

The most important factor however is the clothes haha! The presentation of the website is important but for now startup costs need to be low. However to make money you must spend it, start by selling printed apparel, such as slogan/logo T-shirts, Jumpers, Trousers etc. Then once you gain the capital you can outsource to a printing and embroidery company, but for now do it all yourself via an iron, some cheap (primark if in the UK) clothes and Transfer Paper. Basically you print off your design via your printer onto the transfer paper (can be bought from stationary shops), then use an iron or heat press to transfer it to the apparel.

But don’t fall into the trap of coming across websites which offer ‘great deals’ for printing t-shirts, do it yourself to start out! otherwise you’ll soon find you’re tied into stupid terms and conditions and the one-off costs can really add up!

One last thing, don’t go into the saturated market, by this I am assuming you are following the trend of ‘starting your own clothes line’ which is highly hipster-fashion related. This market is far too saturated and by my predictions the hipster phase will be truly dead by May 2013 -STAY AWAY FROM IT!

My fiance and I run a screen printing business and came across a non-working BAS-416 machine. We have fixed it! Now we want to learn how to digitize images. Any insight and/or links to resources would be greatly appreciated!

I was going to give my usual answer in that you need a software program for creating your own designs and that it takes quite a bit of time to learn to digitize a professional quality product.

However, after viewing the manual for this model, I am beginning to think the machine is as equality difficult to learn. I cannot tell what machine embroidery format it requires.

Most owners of professional embroidery machines, have a company rep help them set-up and learn to use the machine.

The format appears to be .dst (Tajima). Finding a software program is not difficult. Most, if not all will save in the format of all embroidery machines.

Machine embroidery software requires a Windows OS.

If you do a search of free machine embroidery software or free machine embroidery trials you will get a sampling how to create your own designs.

Good luck in your adventures into machine embroidery.
