Re: time to become proficient?
Hi Ashley,
Many people have home based businesses in this industry of embroidery/screen printing/ promotional products/ digitizing and do quite well. I guess it depends on what your goals are as far as income, but still , you have to start somewhere! My suggestion, however, would be to work for others first to learn as much as you can instead of wasting time re-inventing the wheel so to speak.....(unless you have this experience already) and also to attend a tradeshow or two first.
Personally I started as a machine operator at at small company and then moved into digitizing there and then management at a very large promotional products company ... only to eventually leave that security to open my own... out of a spare bedroom.... that was 8 years and many many deposits ago! So you can do whatever you set your mind to... just have a good foundation first, please.
