Curtis Calfee began his romance with embroidery
in 1995 while working as a tour bus operator. He entered a storefront
retail
embroidery shop to have shirts embroidered for the bus company.
As he watched this process take place, he became excited saying "I
could do this." Doing follow-up and research over the next
year, he and his wife, Janice, purchased their first embroidery
machine, a single needle, single head workhorse.
Since starting
Threads of Faith, LLC in February of 1996, a lot has changed in
the industry and in their business. Curtis developed
his love for embroidery further as he began to learn the art of
digitizing, and now does all of his digitizing in-house. He also
learned from some of the best digitizers by watching their work,
purchasing some and watching it sew, attending classes, and watching
videos. His greatest teacher was practice. His passion is turning
artwork into stitches and making it work right and beautifully.
He spent a good deal of time as a beta tester for one of the larger
embroidery software providers, and became quite involved in the
development of that software. Now after having been in business
for 14 years, with several upgrades in equipment and software,
Curtis not only embroiders and digitizes for his customers, he
offers those services to others, He is a member of NNEP, and vice
president of the North Jefferson Business League, a marketing group
which promotes small to medium size businesses, and promote the
business growth and development of the North Jefferson county area
of Alabama.
