“I would stay up all night
learning how to do it
(digitize). I took every
class, went to every trade
show and spent every
minute digitizing over the
next two years.”
-Stephen Wilson
Anita Goodesign is known for hosting
embroidery parties all over the United
States, but at the end of summer 2017 we
hosted an event right here in Charlotte,
NC . During the weekend of August 19th
& 20th, over 80 attendees came to our
headquarters in Charlotte, NC to take part
in Digitizing 401.
Four years had passed since Anita
Goodesign owner Stephen Wilson had
taught a similar event for individuals
looking to learn the art of digitizing. During
the two-day event this summer, Stephen
shared all of the industry techniques and
secrets that he has learned throughout his
successful career. This was the opportunity
for attendees to learn the time honored
techniques from the master!
BEHIND THE SCENES
IT’S NEVER
TOO LATE
TO LEARN...
The 80 attendees traveled from all over
the United States to attend Stephen’s
workshop. Each person’s knowledge of
digitizing was different from the next. The
Anita Goodesign staff welcomed each
one on the Thursday before with an open
house at our office where they could mix
and mingle with all staff members. It was the
perfect kick-off to a weekend of learning!
Through out the two days Stephen taught
digitizing skills starting with the basics
before building upon each one. Our team
of five in-house digitizers were there to
accompany Stephen to assist and answer
questions during the two days of learning.
The warehouse was open too for everyone
to directly shop from the Anita Goodesign
shelves!
