....well after 13 years of being self-employed, this economy took a toll on my day job and thus last month I had to close my doors on my business "Thread Images". I have been an embroidery digitizer for 19 years and I still love my job. So I have joined forces with a former client of mine and I'm still digitizing, I'm just working for someone else now. As sad as this news sounds, let me assure you that having a steady paycheck with incentives does have its rewards. The company I'm with now we have over 80 embroidery heads and can handle massive contract embroidery jobs.

So what does this all have to do with Sidewinder Customs (my part time gig). Well nothing really, other than it is a little more difficult to answer the phone during daytime business hours, but after 6pm EDT you can reach me. If you contact me via email I can pretty much answer any questions in a timely manner anytime. I still have my own embroidery machine and can still offer all of the same digitizing/embroidery services.

Anyway, I usually don't post much personal news in this section but I felt like I wanted to let you all know how to reach me in the easiest manner. And lets face it, in this economy just having a job is good news.

Good luck with the new job! I do plan to send you some of my interior pieces to be re-wrapped and embroidered sometime this year as well as snag up a pair of seats.
