🔷 ABOUT SAMCRAFT 🔷
Samcraft is a channel all about educating, inspiring, motivating, encouraging, and sharing the things I’ve learned since starting my own small business in 2018.
Today’s video is all about the business aspect of running an embroidery shop. I share my tips and tricks on setting up the machine for success, what I do before running a batch of hats, changing thread, what the best needles are, who makes the best embroidery thread, how I clan up embroidered hats, show a super useful tool called a snag nab it, and much more!
