I agree with Roland. Most single head shops don't have a chance on winning bids 
over 100 pieces. I was going to bid on a screen printing job of 60 shirts one 
color, one side on Gildan shirts but the winning bid was $3 per shirt and no 
screen charge. I charge more than that for the blank shirt. I say submit a bid 
on it but don't be upset if the winning is 10-20 percent over cost.

IT boils down to how many pieces an hour can you sew? Not worth 'giving it 
away' ifyou can't make a profit! Chances are if they get a bid from a large 
head shop you will beblown right out of the water...but if it's a lot of 
individual pieces, names, etc. you might havethe advantage-large shops need to 
keep all their heads running. Running individual stuffdrives them nuts.YOu need 
to make a percentage markup PLUS freight on the incoming goods, then 
your'supplies' (backing, thread, bobbins, etc.) plus your 'time' to 
sew...easier than figureing outper stitches.
