So in the quantity you got for the order, a 4400 stitch design would 'wholesale' for $.75 per thousand, so that's only $3.30...good markup for 6 minutes (times 10 per hour, $33.30 for stitching) your shirts in that quantity, I'd probably markup about 175%- they'd be $40.25 + $3.30= $44.55 plus divide the freight if you didn't include it by that number of shirts-probably another 50¢ per shirt. So you are making a real good profit margin there. 65 shirts in 7 hours, call it 9 shirts an hour...9 x $17.00 that you are already making over the cost = $153.00 per hour gross profit. Nothing to complain about! Now if you ran BOTH machines and did 18 per hour-you are making $306 per hour. Pat yourself on the back...you have a good deal going!
