Ideally, a student progresses sequentially through three key phases of learning. First the material is thorougly described to the student, second the material is demonstrated to the student and finally, the student demonstrates what they have been taught. Not all students are able to flow through all phases of training. For this reason, we have gone to great lengths to ensure there is a quality educational opportunity to meet most individual's needs.

Books - Our books are revolutionary to the embroidery industry. Never before has the material been so thoroughly laid out. Easy to read, these books allow the student to obtain more information than could be taught in weeks of solid classroom instruction. Hundreds of pages of organized material and color illustrations take the mystery out of digitizing, bringing the instruction to a level most anyone can understand. These books are a wonderful tool for anyone who is not able to attend a training class or seminar, but are even more effective when coupled with one of our other training options. For this reason we recommend everyone purchase our books.

Full Seminars - Full Seminars offer an outstanding opportunity to explore many different topics of interest. A wide range of information is covered in a short period of time, providing the student with an introductory understanding. The fees are normally less than that of personal training, sometimes providing a better option. Seminars are effective at refreshing the skills of the experienced and enlightening the beginner. Our seminars are highly popular and focus on assuring the students receive great take home value from attending.

Personal Training - Our training facility is equipped to teach all aspects of digitizing. From the very basic to the more advanced topics, we have class curriculum designed to meet the needs from the very basic to the extremely advanced. Our presentations are state of the art and professionally designed. Class material may also be customized to meet your needs. As much time as you desire can be devoted to areas you would like covered indepth. These are not seminars with several companies in attendance but your class, where you get to determine the pace and material to be covered. If you desire, a design of your choice can be digitized from the ground up and problem solved right there in class, by you.

Regional Classes - Our Regional Classes are designed to accomplish two things. To bring the fantastic educational program of the Embroidery Design School to a location closer to you and to reduce the cost of a day of training by filling the room with more students than we usually see at our St. Louis location. Our Regional Classes normally have a sponsor to in carrying the cost of the training allowing us to offer to you a lower admission price. Take a lok at our Regional Class schedule if you would like to see if we are coming to your region of the country.

Professional Tutoring - Have you ever wished you had a mentor in the embroidery industry? Someone who would take the time to evaluate your digitizing skills and offer a constructive evaluation with specific recommendations for improvement. Your wish has just come true. Our Tutoring program offers personalized, professional and constructive evaluations of your digitizing work. This is a good option for those ready to master phase three of the learning process.

Professional Internship - Our Professional Internship Program is designed for those looking to gain practical experience in the embroidery design field with a fast pace from point A to point B. Interns are handled like any new employee to Strawberry Stitch Co., receiving thorough embroidery design schooling directed by Master Designer Thomas L. Moore. This program will take any qualified student from classroom instruction to a competency level where the intern is participating in our daily production.

Research - As educators and leaders in the embroidery, and more specifically in digitizing for embroidery, we are interested in facts, figures, opinions and any information that shapes our industry. To better serve our customers, and to be a central source of informations for anyone seeking data, we created our research department. All data collected was done so by volunteers also wishing to share their insights.
