Embroidery is like running a marathon. You can't stop until its finished.

Hello Everyone,
       It is a lovely day in beautiful San Diego. I had a relaxing weekend I hope yours was just as wonderful. Lets talk about embroidery for a while. Electronic Embroidery, like many thing in life, can't be stopped in the middle of a run. You have to just keep going til your done. Embroidery machine can be stopped periodically to fix thread breaks and other machine problems, but any run should try to be completed in one sitting. If you take it out of the hoop before it is finished you can forget it. You will never be able to re-hoop it exactly right, unless you are a veteran embroiderer with years and year of experience. That is how I do most things in my life, all in one sitting. I try not to procrastinate because you never know what might happen tomorrow.
     Here at Merlin Embroidery we are experts with over 40 years of combined experience. We have been a
San Diego based company since 1992. We have an awesome track record with tons of happy customers. We would love to make you one of them. So if you need company shirts, team hats or jerseys, logo embroidery or if you just wanna get your baby's face screen-printed on a t-shirt, give us a call. We will have your order in and out in no time. I hope to see you soon, but until then, here are some quotes to keep you motivated thanks to brainyquotes.com.

Every employee at Merlin Embroidery are like cogs in a clock

   Every employee at Merlin Embroidery brings different but equal skills to make our company work like a well oiled machine . Each employee works like a cog in a watch, without one the whole thing will be inoperable. All skills are important whether it's embroidery skills, embroidery machine maintenance skills, graphic design skills, customer care skills, I.T. skills, or managerial skills. One will not work without the other, so we appreciate all the different skills that our employees bring to the table.
   We are thankful to be very busy this beautiful Tuesday. We are working on some really soft Aloha Baby cloths, some hats for San Diego Sector Air Mobile Unit, and some sweaters for Northmont Knights. We want to thank God and all our loyal customers for all their continuing support and contributions. Here are a couple quotes to keep you motivated and on the right track. Have a fantastic day and be safe.

Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune. -Jim Rohn

Hello Everyone,
     I hope you had great weekend. Here at Merlin Embroidery we never stop supporting continuing formal education, but one must continue their own education by reading and staying up with current technology and advances in science. You can not simply go to school, graduate and think that is it. You have to keep studying and learning to stay up with your competition. A rolling stone gathers no moss so if you keep moving and keep learning you should be fine. If not you will become stagnant, obsolete and finally forgotten. So keep up with you education and won't be replaced with a newer model, if you know what I mean. Here are a couple quotes from brainyquotes.com  to keep you motivated and moving so you don't gather any moss.

Success is often the result of taking a misstep in the right direction.
