Visors

[Debbie Garifi]

Need some advice. I have a potential client wanting 20 visors with a childs first name on each. 20 different names. I have 2 XT's & have never done visors so I need all the advice you can give for that. But I also need to know how much I should charge per visor. I am giving her the three choices from sanmar My cost($1.50, $3 & $5)
Thanks a bunch!

Hi Debbie

Use the Conventional Cap Frame (CCF) and hoop as you do a normal cap using a sheet of heavy duty tear away. Seems too simple to be true but it works fine. The sew field is much smaller... so don't push the limits or you'll be dissapointed. You probably will have about 1.5 -2 inches of height or so to work with.

We usually charge $8-10 bucks depending on the design for sanmar's inexpensive caps.

Double wholesale - add $5-7 and you'll have a good price!

OH - and I forgot one more thing. Buy 3-4 extras to practice on! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Thanks guys! I ordered the CCF last week so I should get it early this week and learn how to use it first. If I use the Melco script font what size works best. There is only going to be one name & no design.
Thanks again
Debbie

You won't have any problem learning to use the CCF. After struggling with the WACF, the old style hoop is very easy. You'll love it. I always use the CCF unless I have a design that wraps around.
