Hooping Caps with the The Third Hand Hooper is so much easier than having to hoop them the traditional way.  It takes all of the effort and stress out of hooping the caps whether they are the heavy stiff caps or just the simple unstructured caps.

Today I had the privilege of training the employees of one of my students on hooping caps.  He has been in the business for two years now, but has shied away from caps because of the stress that it was causing his employees.  He called me to come to his place of business to train his employees on the proper way of hooping caps and I decided to take my Third Hand Hooper with me and they were totallyamazed at what a difference it made in both the ease of hooping as well as the time that it was saving them to actually do the hooping.

In my own opinion, this is the only way that anyone should hoop caps if they are serious about doing cap embroidery.  In the large embroidery business that I sold I had an older lady, 68 years old, that has been hooping caps for me since 1995.  She can keep up with the 15 head machine, hooping, running the designs, trimming and packing all at the same time.  She would not be able to do this without the Third Hand Hooper. She is still hooping the caps today!

It is a great investment in your business and is huge in reducing Workers Comp claims.   I am going to be doing a video on this piece of equipment very shortly and posting it to my website.  If you would like any more information on this Third Hand Hooper, please contact me personally at joyce@embroiderytipsandmore.com.

Tuesday Night August 26th at 8PM EDT is our next Embroidery Webinar of the Month.  This webinar is going to teach you how to use Underlay Stitching to give you the effect that you are looking for as you are creating your beautiful embroidery designs.

If you are new to embroidery or new to creating designs for embroidery learning the basics of what makes a good quality finished design is extremely important.  One of those basics is the fundamentals of Underlay.

Many embroiderers do not use Underlay because they have no idea as to how to use it or what type of Underlay to use for their particular design, stitch type or  fabric style.  Instead they use a heavy density and this can cause a multitude of problems.

During this presentation we are going to focus on:

• 5 Basic Functions Of Underlay
• 4 Basic Rules Of Underlay
• The Different Types Of Underlay
• What Underlay To Use For Different Types Of Stitches
• Why Lettering Sews Out Uneven
• How to Increase And Decrease The Density Of Your Underlay And Why You Would Do That
• Go Over Examples Of Lettering And Underlay In The Software.
• Show You How To Create Underlay Manually Even When You Do Not Have any Digitizing Tools!

This webinar if FREE to all Gold Embroidery Club members of Embroidery Tips and More, but is open to anyone else to attend for a minimum investment of $29.95.

Go to Embroidery Tips and More.com and click on the banner at the top of the page to sign up.  You do not want to miss this webinar.  What you learn will make a huge difference in your embroidery designs whether you are creating keyboard lettering or digitizing all of your own designs.

This past weekend, I had the the priviledge of participating in a conference on Learning How To Market Your Business.  This conference was called IM Success Workshop and was held in a beautiful Bed and Breakfast setting, The Wayside Inn in Ellicott City, Maryland.  I picked up many good tips, met some fantastic people and had the priviledge of meeting my business coach in person. 

My business coach, Bob Jenkins was the Host and presenter of the conference and a wonderful teacher.  I have been working with Bob, The Teacher, for the past several months and have learned a lot from him.  He is very young, but really knows how to teach and how to market a business.  

Each month I hold an Embroidery Webinar on a specific topic and in January I am going to be starting a series of Embroidery Webinars on How To Market Your Business and I am very excited that I have some new information to share with my students.  Marketing your Business really is not hard, but you must pay attention to detail and be consistant with your efforts.  I will be teaching the Basics of Marking your Business in January and in February we will be going into some specific methods.

Next Tuesday night, August 26th I will be holding a webinar teaching you all about using Underlay Stitching in your embroidery designs.  Anyone that is into embroidery whether it is an embroiderer with a home business, or a large commerical business should attend this webinar.
