Mixed Media Designs

Many CrystalPress Users also own the Ioline Appli-K 300 for cutting applique' designs. By combining applique' and and rhinestones, you can create exciting, unique designs for many different markets. Mary at The Cat's Meow in Dallas, TX has done some great designs and has kindly given me permission to show them here. Since both the CrystalPress and the Appli-K use .PLT vector files, it is a simple matter to cut one layer of a design with the Appli-K while placing rhinestones on another layer. If you are curious about exactly how to do this in your software, contact us at Ioline and we'll show you how easy it really is.

The cool thing about the CrystalPress and the Appli-K 300 is that both these products really expand your product offering. You can make more kinds of products for more kinds of customers, and you can make products with a higher perceived value and a higher selling price.

Often, embroiderers say to me, "I am so busy now, how will I find the time to use these systems?" Maybe another question should be, "How can I make more money and spend less time doing it?" Making higher profit, more unique designs is one good way to do that.
