I sell embroidered gift and personal items that I have designed and created myself. I have been sewing professionally for small local businesses the last few years and have branched out to embroidery also. In order to help boost our family income, for the last 12 months I have been transitioning over to selling items I make, and have an Etsy shop set up. It has grown pretty quickly the last couple months, and I'm at the point now where I need to upgrade my equipment. I've been using my home hobby machines to produce my products, but they are no longer able to handle the production load. I'm looking to purchase a multineedle industrial embroidery machine that is more suitable to the volume of work I need to produce. This type of machine will be more efficient, be able to handle more workload, and will allow me to increase my production.
Covid has really affected my family negatively, as well as my locality, so I'm trying to do what I can to help get us on our feet. Locally we all try to support each other's small businesses, rather than relying on big-box stores. I love having an Etsy shop for the same reasons.
I love working with my customers, both locally and on Etsy, to help them create the ideal gift or personal item. I have many items that I sell as regular stock and offer personalization for those, and I also offer completely custom-made, one-of-a kind products for my customers. In my Etsy shop, I am designated as a Star Seller with 5-star reviews, quick shipping, and quick responses to messages. Having better equipment will help me continue that excellent customer service as well as help boost our family's income and the local economy.
My need for funding is just around $15,000 to cover the cost of the embroidery machine I need as well as the extra equipment needed to go with it.
I thank you all for your time, and appreciate your consideration of my small family business.
