In 1998 the world wide web was an exciting new frontier, and the tones of dial-up internet rang in our ears. Home embroidery machines were becoming more available, so we decided to try offering the embroidery designs we created on a website for sale. EmbroideryOnline.com (catchy name, right?) Back then it took almost 2 minutes to download an embroidery collection via dialup!
1998 really was a great year for OESD as we also created the first Freestanding Lace Design. This brought embroidery to new heights (literally), and we are still expanding and exploring all the amazing dimensional projects we can create with this technique.
