Hi! I am looking to start a very small embroidery business mostly doing children's clothes for friends and family. I have purchased a Brother PE 750II but am clueless on most of what I am doing (correct stabilizer, thread, etc). Can anyone recommend books or training classes I can take to help me? Thanks, I appreciate all the help I can get!

Take a look at John Deere's website. He has videos and other training tools available. Plus, he owns one of the biggest digitizing companys in America.

Re: Looking to Start Small Business
There is an embroidery specific online forum - eline:
http://www.embroideryline.net/page/page/1764206.htm that is good. Other groups exist such as an SWF users. Do a google search.
The owner of eline has written books on the business. Here is a link:

If you can attend an ISS (Imprinted Sportswear Show) show that would be good. They have area specific seminars & beginners workshops.
