This website was established by
Father Jonathan Landon and his wife
Rebeka ...
I don't know which is more impressive ... the quality of their
designs or his military service.  He has served in Iraq as a
chaplain and is still on active duty in the Army.

He took on digitizing to help his wife and mother-in-law on
a major family project.  Together they had so much fun that
they launched a business.  Since the military moves the  
family frequently, the business is web-based.

He has stock designs, does custom designs and custom
embroidery.

He has become on expert on Embird software and has
written tutorials that you can order from his site ... you can
also order the Embird software at a discounted price
through his site.  He is extremely patient and very clear in
his instructions when helping people.  

He also has an impressive selection of blanks at very good
prices.

This is a company that i discovered after i
had my machine for about 6 months ... that
was about ten years ago ... i ordered quite a
lot of thread from them ... what was helpful
was i ordered their thread charts ... what i
really like about their colors are the shades ...
when i purchased, i.e.,  a green i would also
buy the 4 or 5 adjoining colors ... and when i
was working on something i really
appreciated those subtle differences

Even though their site shows polyester
threads, i order rayon only and i tell them that
when i order ... the color numbers are the
same... be sure to check out their sparkling
metallic thread

It really is worth it to fully explore their site ...
they have some very interesting products

Their customer base is mainly commercial
companies ... if you want to order you should
call them first and let them know if you have a
business license or not ... whether you do or
don't they treat their customers very well
regardless if your are placing a large or small
order and delivery time is excellent

This is a product that embroiderers
are using as a backing ...

this is a quote from one of my yahoo
club members explaining why people
are using it:

" It is a very light but amazingly strong
cloth that is used to keep soil out of
septic stuff... another name is Trench
Cloth.  Because it is so strong but
light,  it makes an amazing stabilizer,  
it becomes sooooo soft after a wash
that it can be used even in baby items.
 I use four pieces that go in 4
directions ( by cutting a 2 ft length,  
folding in fourths)  and it is so sheer
that you do not see it even under thin
Tee Shirts.  After sewing,  I just trim
really close & thats it.  It only comes in
white. "
