Hi All:

More starter questions.  

One of the most difficult things about this business (besides mastering the
Amaya) is figuring out what to charge customers.  I would love some guidence
from those of you that have been doing this for a while.  

Do you follow any sort of formula... Such as shirt cost  x  markup  + stich
count/labor cost  =  final price ?    Or do you sort of wing it... Double
the cost of shirt and add "X" for the sew out of the design and if that
sounds too low, you add to it?  =)  Do you charge more for embroidering on
certain items?  Less for others?

The orders are starting to come in and I'd really like to nail down a
pricing strategy.

Todays example.  Church group had us digitize a design.  That ran $40 (our
cost).  They want it sewn out on denim log sleeve work shirts ($7-8 our
cost).  Quantity to start is between 1-2 dozen pieces.  Design takes about
10 minutes to sew out on the Amaya.  6 colors, 9600 stitches.

Thoughts?
