Training led to increased business
We have been in the digital sign and vehicle wrap business for over 20 years. When we added DTG printing and embroidery to our services we consulted and trained with Chendia Sharp. She brought her experience and insight to help get our team trained and into an efficient production flow from artwork to staging to production. Now we’re shipping out orders and expanding our offerings! Whether you’re a seasoned business or just getting started in the hat and tee shirt business, this course is fantastic.

Continue to use videos to train staff
We NEEDED to bring embroidery in house to our law enforcement tactical vest manufacturing. We consulted with Chendia and she even helped us select the right type of commercial embroidery equipment for our operation. We now have an “Embroidery Department”! Her coachings are so easy to follow. All resources, tips & videos are online so even if we have personnel promotions/changes, we continue to use her teachings to keep our staff trained.
