The scenic drive from Lincoln to Springview Nebraska is a bit long, at times boring, and really does nothing for the cell reception on my Verizon phone, but the drive north in my home state was well worth the trip.
James and Lori (both High School teachers) purchased a screen printing and embroidery business in their small town in north central Nebraska and it is amazing the variety of jobs they have time to complete in their shop. When they purchased their business they got two SWF Embroidery machines and a screen printing system, then as the opportunity presented iteself, they added a Melco machine to their shop. Unfortunately for them, they didn't really know anyhing about the AMAYA and let it sit idle for nearly 6 months before we met in Kansas City at the DAX show earlier this month.
I spent a couple of days with the couple, starting out with going over their machine to make sure that was running properly and then proceeded to teach them how to run the machine. Between their knowledge of embroidery and the ease of running the machine they were up to speed in no time. I felt that the best part of the training was showing them how to use code sheets to make the best looking small letters ~ this is one part of each training that I really enjoy. The amazement in peoples faces when we take small lettering and make just a few simple adjustments to transform the letters from yuck to wow makes my job worth it every time!
There is no doubt in my mind that James and Lori will continue to grow their business and be sucessful doing it and my explanation for this is simple. They are great people, which it makes it easy to retain customers, but building on their client base will be easy for them. Good luck and make lots of stitches for money!
