New patch project

Got an interesting order today from someone who works at Etsy:  30 custom patches.  I'm curious to know what MITS is and why/how it moves mountains.  The patches are going to be put on lab jackets so it doesn't seem like something that would be associated with etsy, although the mailing address is etsy.  Hmmm.

QDigitizing came back so quickly with a file!  And although they didn't follow directions, I can fix the issue myself.  (Their stitch count wasn't so hot either; actual count is 25% higher, after the fix; 50% higher before.)  Unfortunately, he asked for 3 colors that I don't have so I'll have to locate an embroidery thread store tomorrow.

In other news, got the Whole Foods order off ahead of schedule!

Back to Work

Just back  yesterday from 2 weeks spent in Oberlin and Paris.

I should go away more often:  I had 4 sales while I was gone.  One was a sleeve that I had to embroider and send in time for it to arrive tomorrow.  Meaning that I spent $17 on postage for something that I collected $29 on.  But as it was one of the NGTC returns, I'm just happy to get it out of inventory.

Have a business card case to make, but the main activity this afternoon will be the mock-up passport cover for American University.  The logo embroidery looks good on the screen, but only a sew-out will tell if it's really ok or not.  I hope so, because although they were very nice about delaying the sample by 2 weeks - thanks to Qdigitizing not meeting their commitment - I don't want to to have to put them off any longer.

Speaking of Qdigitizing, this is the second time I've had issues with them from a timing standpoint.  I'm going to have to try someone else, next time.
