This course is all based on a software that either does not exist or something. No link to software and google search shows nothing. Complete waste of money and thought I was going to get help with pricing in my sewing business.

The lectures were very informative. My only problem was trying to get the software to open after downloading it. So I learned a lot and once I can open the software and place items in the fields I will understand it even more.

Pricing for embroidery and digitizing was always an issue in my life. I did all the work yet realized that the fee I received did not cover my time and expenses. With no business background it was difficult to create a price structure that was competitive in the market yet covered all my expenses and provided me with a salary.
Price for profit helped me to understand the pricing structure, the calculation programme make it so easy. All the additional business related information I received helped me to be more professional and more competitive in my market.
