The #1 problem in the Embroidery, Dressmaking and Crafts industry is Price. “How much should you charge for your work or service”
Stitching for Profit Started back in 1991 when my wife and business partner was still doing dressmaking as a full time career. The Price for Profit, Software was created and tuned over the last 20 years, to remove the emotions when getting to price your product or service.
The Price for Profit course is for all ladies and gents who is working from home, in the Crafts Industry mainly. We have also cover people working from home that have to charge customers a Charge-Out Rate for a product or service
Over the last 24 month it was refined and tested we have released 2 Windows based PC Software programs.
- Stitch for Profit ( Craft Industry)
- Enterprise for Profit ( Charge-Out Rate Industry)
Both these software is included in the course as downloadable Zip files.

1Introduction by Jacqui
How can you Price a Product or Service and Make More Profit
During 1991 when I started sewing for my first customer I knew that I had to become a professional custom clothier. I wish I knew then what I know now. My quality of work was always excellent and my delivery not always on time, due to items I had to create in the nick of time for other customers that rushed in on Wednesday for this Saturdays function, and I allowed them to run my business.
I had a passion for working with different fabrics, and I love to dress well.
Philip taught to me that success is not an end result, but a way of living. Security is an internal factor that I could only find in myself, nobody could offer me ten bags of security for this month, and I could not buy it from any store.
I was determine to make a success, and though my kitchen was not always spick and span, my sewing room was where I wanted to be.
