She tells me that an embroiderer charges him $1.50 for logos and/or wording placed on shirts regardless of the number of stitches or the number of shirts. I have been told that we should charge $1.00 per thousand stitches for retail orders and 50 to 60 cents for wholesale orders otherwise I would not make any money in the end. At that pricing I cannot compete with his present supplier. I am a one person home hobby business (so far) with a six needle Babylock that I love, bought as a precursor to an Amaya which I really want if my business takes off which probably won't happen if I can't make any money or get new customers. Any thoughts on this?? By the way I have learned so much from this group, even tho I have a Babylock your suggestions have been very helpful. Thank you all. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
