You figure top speed is 1200 stitches PER MINUTE, average detail is going to be
around 900-100. SO you have at least, just for the center...168 minutes (that's
almost THREE HOURS of time) and you should be billing out to clear $40 or more
PER HOUR. SO you already have $120 in time alone on the center patch. Don't
give it away...even at 50¢ per thousand (bulk rate) you are losing money per
hour or just barely making what your machine costs to sit there. And if they
only want ONE item...well, they've tied you up for how long-and as Laurie says,
what are you charging for digitizing? A design that large would cost YOU
probably $100 to get digitized...then add in the other panels. Don't give the
job away...if this is for a 'biker'...they spend MORE money on their BIKE then
you spend on a car. Just a simple pinstripe job on the fenders costs them $200
or more and they pay it easily.
'Bling' counts with this customer.
