A Dose of Constructive Criticism

Good afternoon my fellow bloggers.

   This afternoon I hired my sister, Amber, to come over and work for a few hours for me. While she was here she gave me a dose of constructive criticism. Amber is in a sorority and I've been embroidering Greek shirts for almost a year now, and she has been telling me for a year that I need to purchase the Traditional Greek Font. When she said it again today, I responded snarkily, "no one uses the traditional letters when they do appliques"
 
  Boy, was I ever wrong! She showed me picture after picture on Instragram of all these sweatshirts and shirts done with the traditional Greek Letters. She then followed with, "...that's why Tammy (name changed for no other reason other than I can't remember the real one ;-)) didn't really like her shirts"

WHAT?!


   So, after 5+ minutes of searching for the Traditional Greek Font I purchased the font for myself. I am now the proud owner of a font that Amber claims will get me more business. We shall see, maybe she is right. I do feel good about buying the Greek Alpha. I purchased it from Applique Market and they are currently having a half off sale!! The whole alpha is $6. You get two styles when you purchase from Applique Market, the satin and the zig zag. Yeah.




Here is what I made with it today using my new font...
