We would like to welcome you to our blog for “Say It With
Class.” A little history about Say It
With Class, in 2006 my husband purchased me my first embroidery machine that
had a sewing capacity of a 4x4 area. I
set out doing shirts for my dad as at the time he was the chief at the Ohio
Township Volunteer Fire Department in Newburgh, In. I enjoyed doing the shirts and I started tinkering
with other designs and was doing children’s clothing and etc. I enjoyed this but felt so limited as I
wanted to do bigger and more beautiful designs.
Dad came to me in 2007 and asked me about doing vinyl
designs or the back windows of vehicles and so forth. I told him I would love to do so but that I
did not have the machine to cut these out and doing the things by hand could be
done by it would cost a fortune because of all the time. I didn’t hear anything for a couple of months
about this and then dad came back to the house and asked me about doing “stock”
transfers for the fire department.
Again, dad received this look of yes they are pretty cool transfers but
placing them on a shirt with an iron is NOT going to work I will need a heat
press and one way better than the one I had at the daycare because it did not
get hot enough for what I needed. So he
left and I didn’t think much more about it.
About a week later he came up to the house and wanted us to
go to the Flea Market in Evansville with him, when we got there he never said
anything about what we were doing there and so when he stopped at the booth
where the vinyl cuts were being made and he placed his order. He had me to move up where I could watch the
guy place the design and make adjustments in the computer. He looked at me and asked do you think you
can do that? So, off we went.
Hubby purchased me a 6 needle embroidery machine and wow the
anxiety that came from that but the fun that also came from it was something
else.
We had to shut our business down for a couple of years due
to medical problems and then a couple of years of personal situations. The personal situations are NOT over yet by
far but I am being pulled by God to get this going again. I have to do something for ME and I so enjoy
my crafts.
I hope that you enjoy them as well and keep coming back as
you will see that I am not one that just gets to doing one thing and sticks to
that I love to tinker with many things.
Have a question ASK you never know what we can do.
