Clipping designs - new service Whatdaya reckon ?

[Ashf]

I've had my thinking cap on - further on from the Taz post in the picture board http://www.horseandhound.co.uk/forums/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/1504869/an/0/page/0/gonew/1#UNREAD If I were to offer not to just make the stencils, but to also come out to a yard (or have local clipping people who can do this)and put them onto the horse, would this be more desirable to anyone than clipping themselves ?

 

[tazet]

wow they look good i can't even do a simple triangle

 

[MagicMelon]

Yeah, it would probably be better if you (or someone) went to actually do the clipping. Me for example, I dont have little clippers to be able to get it like that and the thought of doing such a design would be terrifying!!

You should do a "for sale" template and go out to big dealer / competition yards and clip it on the horses for sale!! That would be cool, at a show with that on their butt - they'd be sure to get some queries!

I would pay for that, I'd be so damn scared I'd ruin it if I did it myself.
Where abouts are you based anyway?

Ps... I'm on a college computer, I tried the link to your site... just to inform you it's blocked under pornography...

i think its a good idea to provide a service like that, like you said some people will find doing something so detailed quite daunting so if you offer the service to go with it it will seem a lot less difficult!!

i saw your bit in the ILPH mag this morning btw!

 

[Ashf]

No way

, I cannot belive that is the case, I'm hopping a bit at this. I'm on a shared server and there is nothing on my website which coule be construed as that, the pics on here are being hosted on my server, so I cannot see how they can block the site URL, but not the pics hosted there ???

I'm in Cheltenham BTW

I was thinking of getting some people trained up in other areas to offer it, and the stencil to be made up by me, and then clipped on by someone would cost about the same as a full clip in total (ish)

Perhaps it's because it says bum in your url! Must be very conservative at the college.

 

[Ashf]

Ash wanders off to wallow in notoriety for using the word 'Bum' in a domain name

The blocking system they use is rubbish, you can easily find information on unhealthy topics.... which I won't go into, lol but things like your site are blocked, I can't even see any photos... all blocked especially photobucket or anything linked with personal pages... I get their point but they go too far... I could rant about it all day... stupid computers... but at least I can get on here, I swear its a loophole... anything with messageboard is blocked usually...

Anyway back to topic.... We're in north Gloustershire I'd be willing to use such a service if it were available.

wow they are brill - although I wouldnt have one myself - I bet a zillion people will!! Could I get a blanket clip by any chance lol xx

 

[Ashf]

Alex will clip to order within a radius of Cheltenham or Hartpury if you want to PM me.

If anyone is interested in doing this in your area as a service provider, also drop me a line ta

[Santa_Claus]

i would be tempted to actually as seemed to do reasonable job of the clip in and you did say clip rounds were easier!

 

[Ashf]

The new stickier vinyl does make life much easier and I'm now putting a perimiter around the clip in designs so they lie flatter on the curvature of the rump Santa. PM me or give me a call in the evening if you are interested - the numbers on my website

 

[Mid]

Yeah, I'd much prefer to pay for that as well as the stencil

 

[guisbrogal]

I wouldn't fret about being blocked too much. It is usually just that colleges etc have extra strict firewalls etc.

I was looking for an Embroidery website at work the other day and it came up saying it had been blocked as it might contain bad language

I think the idea of a 'service' would be a good one.
