Why we picked it
Dave from STAHLS' lays out a step-by-step pricing formula that decorators use for custom t-shirts, built so each job covers its costs and still turns a profit. The examples are about decorated tees, but the cost-first thinking carries over to embroidered and patched apparel. Recommended for new shop owners who set prices by copying competitors, and for anyone who suspects some orders are quietly losing money.
