BriTon Leap makes embroidery software used by many people and companies worldwide at both the hobby and commercial levels. We are Microsoft certified partners and Apple developers, so yes, we make embroidery products for both platforms. The unusual name comes from founders Brian and Tonya, who took a Leap of Faith in starting the company back in 1998. Most people know us from products we make for some of the best brands in the industry such as Designer's Gallery, John Deer's Adorable Ideas, Vikant, Quilt In A Day, Echidna and our own Mac Embroidery. Brian’s been making computer products since 1982, when his father, John got him an Apple 2+. “Here,” he said, “Computers are the future. Make yourself useful with this thing.” The first product was ‘Mr. Speaker’ which was the first-ever external speaker for a personal computer, complete with amplifier, volume control and headphone jack. It came out in 1983. And the products came on for years after that. In 1990, Brian and John bought a sewing machine store in Reno, NV. The customers began teaching them how to sew, which when coupled with the experienced product developers skills, launched a contract sewing and product development company. Clients quickly grew in numbers. Soon we were making products used in Fortune 500 companies, designing patterns, grading patterns, laying up fabric 10″ thick and 20′ long, and working all odd hours making stuff with nearly 20 commercial sewers. Eventually though, newlyweds Brian and Tonya got some offers and decided to try out New Mexico for a while. It worked out great. Today they split their time, albeit unevenly, between New Mexico and Washington State. Thanks for reading. Enjoy the blog! -Brian
