I have been reading all the posts for several weeks and have learned a great deal. Ya'll have so many great ideas and solutions it's amazing, I hope you can help me. I just started a new embroidery business. I've been embroidering for about 7yrs, mostly for hobbie, however I have done the occasional side job. I have 4 machines total (2 Janome MC's 9,000 & 10,000, Babylock 6 needle and my AmayaXT). I refer to my nused (new used)haha AmayaXT as BIG MAMA. My question is in the pricing department, not for the embroidery but on the upcharge for garments, ie...shirts/hats/bags, etc. I'm not sure what percentage or upcharge I should do. Oh, by the way, I have the sequin device on BIG MAMA and while I think it is the "best thing since sliced bread", the sequins are rather pricey as well as the actual device, and it's hard to come up w/a price for doing the designs. Can anyone help me. Also, and other tips of the trade and things to know and do and not to do would be greatly appreciated, I always respect advice given by people who have been there and done that. I know I will get lots of wonderful ideas and advice and I look forward to all of ya'lls expertise. Looking forward to a long and lasting relationship w/all of you. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
