Embroidery in the Age of Computers...Sue Wills' Richland Embroidery Shop

Tom and I took a short trip to northwestern Ohio last week.  Our first stop was to visit with our niece, Sue.

Sue has an embroidery services business in Ontario, Ohio.


Embroidery is a lot different from what it was when I was taking sewing in high school in the 1950s.

This is one of the computer programmed embroidery machines she uses.


Imagine what a person has to know to operate one of these.

She embroiders a wide variety of items.  Tee shirts are popular.




Here are a few of the logos and pictures she has in her files.


She has embroidered ball caps for Tom to advertise his small business.  He puts together videos and copies them to DVDs and flash drives and also does statistical analysis, mostly for the local park district.  He also occasionally provides these services for other individuals and groups.


Since she has an employee to mind the store, she was able to leave her business and have lunch with us at a local pizza parlor.  It was good to talk with her.  We caught up on what she and her family have been doing and told her what has been keeping us and our family busy.

  1. I didn't know Tom had a business good for him! We have several small embroidery shops in our area and some long arm quilting shops too. I cannot imagine threading that machine:)
