I am in the works of starting up a small business in custom design, embroidery and alterations.  I have some of the equipment, but do need some additional things and my resources are tapped out.

I have already purchaced a commercial grade sewing machine and serger, dress form and many patterns, and some embroidery pattern disks.  However, I need the embroidery machine (Brother PR600) It retails for $10,000 but I found a slightly used one online for about  $6,000, but the bidding closes September 16th. Theses machines, used, are hard to come by.  I also need a laptop, digital camera,  printer and eventually more embroidery design disks.

I know I can make this business a success, I just need some help getting the equipment I need.

Thank you.

I am a mother of two children that are now both in school.  Before they started I did a little bit of sewing business, and also gace horse riding lessons and trained horses, but the kids were my main priority while they were at home.

I worked for a Cheerleading and Dance company for about 8 years.  I called on schools in my territoty and helped design their uniforms.  In my first year I tripled sales.  I had clients leave their company to work with me because tey said I was honest and so easy to work with.  My office was at home, so I am a self starter and motivator...I had to be.

The business I want to start will mostly cater to the horse and rider, I will also call on schools and business' for embroidery needs.  I would be the only embroidery business my area and I know there is a need for it.

Thank you
