LUV DEM TIGERS

Hey, I just jumped right in but decided to introduce myself. I am from S.C. and pull for the Clemson Tigers. My claim to fame is that I have been in ALL 50 States and have been to 26 different countries (including Cuba, as a civilian in Havana). I enjoy cooking, especially smoking (or as we say BBQ'ing). My wife and I started a home based embroidery business about 2 years ago and it has grown so fast that we are about to move into a storefront. We just added a vinyl cutter because our yuppie clientel likes to put their monograms and pictorials of their family on everything, including vehicles. In my "real job" I am the General Manager of a Flexographic (labels on a roll) and Screenprinting (non-textile) company. Our major market in screenprinting is heat transfers for the power belt industry. So chances are, if you look on the fan belt of your car, chances are, my company produced the printing that is on it. I have gained a wealth of knowledge, but I still can't add boldness to truetype fonts and cut straight out of Corel on my Mimaki without it double cutting (the font and then the contour or stroke). Oh well, I will keep playing with it. Pretty much everything I have learned has been self taught, including both of my embroidery machines.
