I also like the idea – I print them out then have stuff laying around – of course I could make my own binder 🙂 I am happy to answer any questions too

Wow, offering a pattern a week is quite ambitious! Will they all be 6 inch squares or tie together thematically in some other way? Will the projects be small enough such that it makes sense to work one a week?

I have not offered anything similar so far (though I've been thinking about offering a monthly wrist warmer pattern next year, with…[Read more]

Hi folks 🙂

I have come up with a plan for 2017 to release a new pattern a week via subscription for $X and have the same pattern available in my webshop & rav for 2 x $X (X value yet to be decided)

I have a schedule of how it will run – the mechanics of testing, tech editing, PDF creation, charting etc, and a way to handle the subscriptions.…[Read more]

Ahh I am in the same boat! I have announced price rises too then done nothing about it! That must change!

I think your increases sound perfectly reasonable! Go for it I say! (and I will follow my own advice come Jan 1 – I promise)

Shelley Husband replied to the topic KALs/CALs What Works Best For You? in the forum Engineering 8 years, 8 months ago

Hello 🙂

I am mid CAL running right now. There are so many different ways to tackle it.

Ok I really WANT to raise my prices but I just can't seem to do it! I have said I was going to several times but just can't do it! I fear that no one will buy the stitch markers anymore. That I will lose my wholesale accounts, my regular customers, new clients will not purchase. Oh my, the doubt spiral is strong!

So I need your help.…[Read more]
