| 1 NOTE:
There were over 500 submissions for this survey. All of the sites needed
a minimum of at least two votes to be considered. The ranking had criteria,
but in the end there is always some subjectivity that is included. However,
the panel of three review people did their best. The hours of reviewing,
and re-reviewing were unbelievable. There are lots of great sites out there
that are not included, but if they were not submitted, then they missed
this particular survey.
Do to the great response to this survey, we will make the "TOP 50 Embroidery Websites" an annual project. So see you next year! |
