Why we picked it
A pricing method for home embroiderers who run more than one machine but still do the hooping, finishing, packing and shipping themselves. Dina starts from the hourly income you want to earn, then works back to test whether each product can support it, using a personalized hoodie from her former embroidery and custom apparel business as the example. It shows how to work out true hourly profit and spot items to reprice, redesign or drop.
