I can take a piece or line that isn't selling, make a sample with it, and it will usually fly out the door.

Good luck with your new venture!

Andi....What a brilliant statement and strategy!!!!! That is exactly right for me...as a consumer and a visual learner/type person. Showing me an example of what can be done with a line of fabric 'clicks' this old/older brain of mine into action!
