I Love Fan Mail  :-)

Every few days I get an email that just makes my day.  Here is one such email I received yesterday... 

"I have been an ATW member for a few years now.  When I first joined I remember there were supposed to be some lessons etc.  forthcoming.  I never found them, only lessons to learn digitizing at some later date.  I had to learn it all by trial and error.

When your email came with the "hacks"  I decided to watch, something I rarely do.  I just want to say thank you for all the free tutorials and wish I had found them a long time ago.  It makes my membership with ATW even more of a bargain.  By the way your website subscription is the ONLY one I have held consistently since joining.  No way have I ever downloaded it all, but it is the FIRST place I look when searching for a design.  Most of the time I need go no further.

Thanks for such a great website.  Totally satisfied."

Pat

Thank you Pat for making my day yesterday :-)

For those who are wondering what "hacks" Pat is referring to, please watch the video I made showing "15 Hacks For Getting The Most Out Of Your Embroidery Club Membership".  

It is on YouTube now at this location...


There are almost 500 views on that video in the first 3 days, so I know a few of our newsletter readers have already seen it but there are lots of you who still haven't and it's got a lot of good info as well as a set of freebies giveaway near the end of the video. 


 Want to join our live audience this Saturday?

Use this link to register now...


Registering now will automate sending you a login page link and reminder one hour before the show.  We can accommodate up to 1,000 live guests with our current software.  I am also working on learning another broadcasting program that will allow several thousand live viewers and hope to have that working by May 1st.   

Your Questions For Our Guests...

If you have a question you'd like me to ask our show guests, please email it or text it to me now.   

Here are the guests lined up for our next 3 shows.

4/16/2016 - (  Saturday morning @ 10am Central )  My first guest will be the person most asked for by my viewers last week... Holly Pike.  Many said they want to know about how she started in embroidery and in digitizing. If you have questions for her, please email or text them to me ASAP as the show starts at 10 am Saturday.

4/23/2016 - My guest will be Bernie Griffith - the Sales Manager for Generations company.  Generations is shipping it's new version of their software ( Home ver 2.0 ) now.  Bernie will tell us what's new and answer questions from the audience. 

4/30/2016 - My guest will be Rosemary Smith - District Sales Manager for Tacony Corporation. ( AKA: "Baby Lock" )  Baby Lock is the corporate sponsor ( I hope I got that term correct ) for the American Embroidery Conference in May.  Rose will be here to tell us about what's new at Baby Lock and what the attendees there will be able to get their hands on at the AEC. 


If YOU have an idea for guest on the show - please let me know who they are and I will see what I can do about arranging a slot for them. They can be in the sewing, quilting, embroidery, machine, or related fields, as long as our members would find it interesting to listen in and ask questions.

While Holly handles the design side of our business, It's my job to build the website pages and maintain the site service, do the marketing, and help customers. 

It's my goal to DELIGHT OUR MEMBERS and I hope you will let me know whenever you find a way that I can improve on what I do for you. Just click REPLY to this email.
