History
Lasting impressions Embroidery Company, Inc. was founded in May, 1997 as a sole proprietorship in Fort Washing, Maryland by Peggy Ekstrom. At that time the operation was centered around a Tajima TMEX C1201, single head twelve needle, commercial embroidery machine supported with Pulse Editor II embroidery software. A Tajima TMCE 601 chenille embroidery machine was added to the operation in April '98 making us one of the very few companies in the United States to offer both traditional Swiss embroidery and chenille embroidery. Gross revenue has more than doubled each year since commencing operation. Our client bas includes man individuals, small businesses, small and large corporations, ad specialty companies and chenille clients in more than 16 states. The company added a TMFXII C-1504, four head fifteen needle, machine in July '02 in addition to upgrading the digitizing software to Pulse DG/ML Maestro. The company has been featured or quoted in both Embroidery Business News and Stitches Magazine, national trade magazines of the industry.

Three new business lines were introduced in 2002 starting with chenille digitizing for other chenille producers, chenille training, and development of stock chenille designs.

In 2003 Lasting Impressions Embroidery Company was invited to participate in Pulse's redesign of the chenille digitizing portion of Tajima DG/ML by providing requirements specifications and performing Alpha and Beta software testing of the redesigned software prior to  general publication.  The company was also retained by Pulse Micro Systems to create the first ever chenille keyboard fonts for distribution with it's chenille software option.
