Hi Dave. I have long thought about creating t-shirts. I created a couple of designs with made to order services and was very satisfied however the shirt I liked got discontinued. I did this mostly for fun but was really pleased with the outcome. I hope your line is a huge success! The custom designs sound fun.

Thanks, Sunny. I appreciate it. There’s a lot of great t-shirt blanks out now, so perhaps you might try again sometime?

Your library might have a library of things that includes sewing machines. You can also check for sewing clubs too.

That's an interesting ideas, library of things. I will look into that this week. Thanks,

You’re welcome. I hope you can find one.

I'm sure I will, but maybe I should take a class at a college or something first.

Creative Bug had some good intro to sewing machine courses. Community education is also good.

Dave- Make friends with your local sewing maching repair shop. They will have great used machines and then they can service them when needed. Go as simple as possible and then upgrade as you master these skills. Also make friends with a locally owned fabric store. They will help you with every thread!
