Hello everyone in forumland! :) I joined the forums in April of 09 and read read read! Then on Oct 03, 09, furniture in the road tried to kill me! Ahhh!!! 6 weeks in the hospital, 2.5 months in a rehab facility, ouch! I was just getting ready to start the rhinestone thing so now I am a year behind, but ready to go full force!

A little background first. I have a degree in fashion design and have worked as a pattern drafter and then worked my way into the embroidery dept. I have been digitizing since 1992 (wow, I feel old ;)) I started my business in 2000 doing only digitizing with a single needle (yes you read that right) single head. In 2003 I added a 4 head machine. I contract out my screen printing and I do vinyl cutting in house.
I can also do the advertising specialty thing if need be, but I hate it!

Now, back to rhinestones, I AM IN LOVE!!! :D In fact I am so excited that I handed out 800 flyers at last weekend's parade announcing my coming rhinestone business (obsession). Yet I don't yet have all the tools to do it. I have faith, the money to upgrade my das co-cut is on it's way!!!

I will be doing the rhinestone business under www.myrhinestonezone.com I have only put up basic info so people who got my flyer wouldn't be sent to a "parked" page. I am commited to mid October, wish me luck!!!

Would love to say from the get go, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!! This forum is the GREATEST!!!

Thanks Jason,

I am pretty darn excited, I can barely contain myself! I have about 2.6 million ideas in my head, well, on paper too! I have hand set some swarovski crystal shirts and just L...O...V...E them. However, don't so much love the setting them by hand thing. :(

I have put off the temptation to piece meal a system together since I will be upgrading my DAS system. It comes with everything I need. I did break down and get a $50 rhinestone software program just so I could start playing with designs. But it is kinda like comparing a Yugo to a Ferrari. I'll just wait for my Ferrari :D Less then a month away!!!

OK, I will try to calm down now and go do some more research!!
