And, call a dealer or find some training somewhere, and get it no matter what the cost. It'll help tremendously.

Edward, hopefully you are familiar with your new equipment that is coming...if not, spend time getting to know how it works and if it has any issues. When you get an order, you won't be so frustrated trying to figure it out when it counts. Also, until you learn how to digitize (if you will) find someone now that will do it on contract so you have availability to creating logos for customers when requested. As far as supplies, pick an array of thread colors that are commonly used, then purchase a little at a time as customers demand custom colors.. this is not like sewing, it is challenging but give yourself time to figure it out. And always, always, always trace out a design before sewing it out! That is a sound I will never forget!
