Melinda entered the field of monogramming and embroidery in 1980 with B&G
Lieberman of Charlotte, NC. In 1985, after taking a couple of years to acquire a degree
in Commercial Graphics, Melinda joined Macpherson Monogram in Greensboro, NC.
There she was responsible for the team who created and supported "Style Paks" –
lettering and design packages for Barudan embroidery machines. Working with
Barudan software specialists on R & D for future software products was also an integral
part of the work that she enjoyed.
Since the mid ‘90’s, Melinda primarily worked with the Compucon line of software
products. She trained on several software platforms; cooperated in crucial customer
relations; and taught a variety of trade seminars. Recently, consulting, technical
writing, digitizing and educational materials have filled Melinda’s time.
Today, Melinda and her husband, Jacques own and operate Dement Studios, a
company that offers many different types of artistic expressions. Offerings include
embroidery educational materials, products, and services; as well as graphic design,
sculpture, and image processing.

Personal statement: "It is an honor to be sharing knowledge with those in this
fascinating field of Embroidery. Much of the skills and tips of digitizers and embroiders
have been acquired by the "Trial and Error" method due to the pioneering phase of the
industry. How many times have I heard in conversation,"Oh, how I wish there had been
more teachers and materials as I was trying to learn!"
"This era of "Virtual Technology" is an incredible educational tool. Our intention is to
aid you in learning some of the techniques and formulas of the trade. We believe that
you will gain information that will help you to be productive and profitable in your
chosen endeavor. We trust that you will honor the copy written materials."
