With only one head, you would be lucky to do 6-8 hats an hour. Maybe if you 
could do the backs with a speedclamp system it would go faster...but otherwise 
you are looking at a gross of only $15-$20 per hour. For those of us with a 
single head, that doesn't cover overhead or if you have to pay an 
employee...you are losing money. Those shops with a couple heads can do it, but 
I'm one that would also charge a minimum of $4 if WE supply the item, $5 to $10 
if the customer supplies it.(depends on item and quantity) Also, as an 
independant ad specialty rep-EVERY company that does hats (China, Vietnam, 
wherever they come from) WILL ALSO DO THE BACKS for a price-and I would bet 
your customer didn't want to pay THEIR price to have it done and wanted you to 
do it for less. Or, as someone mentioned-he needed an individual name on every 
hat and they wouldn't do it!
Stand firm-you know what it takes to pay your bills! Once you start throwing 
out low prices it can come back to haunt you-everyone will want the low prices 
and you will never have a chance to make money!
