To Jan in VA...wow, that's impressive. And don't forget to add in tax...we pay 9% in this county. Plus we've had the initial cost of scissors, rulers, and all sorts of other tools PLUS the sewing machine which can run into many thousands of dollars. I'd hate to add up what I've spent in books, magazines, classes, CDs, etc. to develop my skills. No one wants to think about that when they want a bargain.
Ladies, stick to your guns and show the world we value what we do!
