If the holidays tend
to increase your sales, inspire your creativity or simply push your buttons,
you may want to sit in on a webinar on November 30th. Embroidery
industry icon Lee Caroselli-Barnes, whose digitizing has won her not just
awards, but the adulation of the industry, will be joining Madeira USA to talk
about “Threads of the Season.” Since ‘tis the season to be thinking of snowmen,
stars and random sparkles everywhere, Madeira USA and Lee will team up to talk
about which threads you should be thinking about these days.
Since the
temperatures head south, but not all of us can, using the heavier, 12 weight
threads that contain natural wool or cotton fibers, are a nice way to go for
holiday designs or for customizing gifts. Madeira offers a wool blend
(Burmilana) and a cotton blend (BurmilanaCo), both 12 weight threads, that are
ideal for this time of year. The webinar will include how to alter a stock
design, or one you may already have, to accommodate these heavier threads.
Using shading and
color blending, Lee’s specialty, will also be covered. With the ability to
personalize or customize gifts, the images of the season on scarves, hats,
gloves, make for very appropriate gifts. Doing up some samples and making them
visible to your walk-in customers might do wonders to stir the imagination.
Whether its color blending, or accomplishing shading through the use of
combining matte finish with lustrous thread, it’s all about increasing your
knowledge and what you have to offer your customers.
Ultimately, making
an ordinary design extraordinary is the ultimate goal of this upcoming webinar.
