Well I half owned a domain name a long time ago, and I will be using it for the next 7 months to try and sell embroidered stuff and advertise the local car shows me and my friend host. I will let you all know what the site is as long as its fine with the moderators of Zdriver. I will hopefully have some of my designs up soon, and then I will try to get some work done on customer ideas

here we go. I made a bmw test run with the letters BMW and EP logo(the name of the business I will be trying to start in md). I think it looks pretty good. It is not on a shirt because I did not want to waste a shirt on a test run, so I did it on some almost white fabric(has some gay flowery design on it o well)

Oh and it is horizontally reversed because the picture is taken with a macbook pro which decides to flip everything horizontally, just imagine it or open it in a program that can flip and youll see it the right way

yea I hope so. A lot more work went into it than expected. I will sell those and might try some iron ons and test some techniques to get them to last a while and wash em a million times to test before I sell. I will also try using the highest quality products and printing. The website I will have is www.bigdealzonline.com . It will be the temporary location for displaying my shirts and designs.

well heres a design on a shirt. It turned out well, but I am still trying to get the stitch a little tighter and compact for a very clean look. Once I perfect the technique to a cleaner look, I will start designing and selling weekly.

well I have good news. I am learning this software better and by the removal of the outline and a new way of double stitching I figured out(horizontally and vertically) the outcome looks 100x cleaner and tighter stitched. I will post pics as soon as I am home today or tomorow with a camera. The only bad news is that I dont have a Z one yet.

you know we dont care to much aboot it, but if you did the z one, then you may build more interest here, not trying to be harsh or anything, i know its a process.

I dont know how much you can speak for the "we" of zdriver, but I figure I may as well keep people posted about progress. if you want me to slap a crappy z together single stitched and loose looking ill make sure to email you..as for the people who watch the progress of the designs, I will make a very well stitched Z shirt using all that I have learned in the ones I have posted.Here is single stitch vs. double stitch rx8 sorry its blurry.

i may be a little harsh, but why all the other cars first? i know the z isnt the absolute most popular, but i want to see z! i just think it would sell here quick, then ask for requests of other cars, like the bmw which nismopick would prolly jump on, and other nice cars too.

I could use that to make an outline similar to the other cars, but the only way to get that actual design on a shirt is screen printed, pressed, or ironed on. Right now I am only doing the embroidered ones, so tell me if you want me to take a shot at making that into a z31 outline for an embroidery. And obviously I will need your permission for using a design of your car.
