  1. SUPPLY COST ARE LOW – when we say low, we mean that a 5000 meter cone of embroidery thread is under $7.00 and will last you a LONG time.And the other supplies, like embroidery backings, embroidered patch material, toppings and needles are all really inexpensive compared to other custom t-shirt business methods.
  2. IT’S NOT MESSY – if you’re going to start an embroidery business at home you won’t have to figure out where to keep the mop bucket.  Or the special tools or any of the messy inks and toners that other apparel decorating businesses use.
  3. CUSTOMERS ARE EVERYWHERE – not that you won’t need to do any marketing, but starting an embroidery business at home means you have a service that almost every company needs.
