A modern home machine is small enough to fit neatly into a home workspace, even some industrial embroidery machines are now small while still having the capacity to produce large items.
Embroidery is now very much back in fashion, there's been a massive surge in interest and in the sales of embroidery machines as people prefer to make their own fabrics rather than buy mass produced fabrics from the third world.
Embroidery is also a marketable skill. You could easily make a machine pay for you. There's so much demand for it today that it makes the perfect home based business. A quick look round any store or shop will reveal the growing popularity of embroidery. Embroidery is everywhere, on fashion clothes, bags, shoes and nearly all accessories. It's become one of the most popular methods of decorating fabrics, and you can do this from your own home with a modern machine.
One of the reasons embroidery is making a comeback is because embroidery machines are now so technologically advanced that you can customize virtually any kind of fabric on them. This has been made easy due to the adding of computerized controls on today's embroidery machine.
You can create anything you want using pre-programmed designs that load directly into the machine. You then simply set the machine going while you watch. The computer program will sew the design on the fabric and it can all be done in minutes depending on the design and the embroidery machine.
Businesses are always on the lookout for promotional wear and you can easily tap into this business from home. Just look around at the number of company caps and tee shirts, almost every company, no matter how small, has its own brand displayed on caps and tee shirts.
