I’m interested as well to get some feedback on this. Thanks don’t do hand stitch but machine stitch. For my pricing I calculate exact square footage of materials used, multiply that by 1.5 for waste, multiply that sum by the cost of the material. I add hardware cost, a shop/overhead cost of $2 for under 2 sq.ft., or $6 for larger than 2 sq.ft. Then I take my time, multiply by $30 per hour. Add those up, then double it.

I believe the automatic recurrent subscription are only for the old tutorials meant for previous subscribers. The newer tutorials are no longer included in the subscription but sold individually.

I would say price what you feel you're bags are worth. There is no right or wrong here and you will find fellow bag makers pricing all over the place. I would think your pricing could be in line with Hermes' retail pricing...not the wildly inflated market pricing that is commonly seen.

I have a question about the cotton twill an cotton duck. I have heard that you shouldn’t use cotton with leather because it will break down after a while. Is this true. I really wan to use a cotton fabric for my linings because of my business name, Scotch & Cotton! : )

It’s 4:00am in the us, how do I turn off notifications so these don’t wake me up☺️

Here is master skiver Iwabuchi san showing how he shapes his presser feet. I have started filing a very slight flat surface to the toe and heel of my inexpensive presser feet (confirmed results still pending), but nothing to the extent that Iwabuchi san does.

Thanks, Daniel, for the wonderful explanation. I'll have to put this foot up for sale. Is there enough clearance on a Nippy NP1 to use it without a motor and spindle?

P.S. I’m in Central Florida.
