Especially if you have it online. People like the satisfaction of "making" it themselves even tho the hardest part of the job is done. Quote

Contributing Member JLSleather Posted April 25, 2017 Author Contributing Member Report Posted April 25, 2017 If everyone had a laser it would simplify life, there would be no need to use a sharp knife and cut perfectly along a line that has been drawn on the leather. But I digress you must have studied your market needs and what will sell in the market you wish to reach, jeff you opening a new door Simple enough to cut out once designed -- no laser, but a die cuts purdy cleanly Question, then, is how to price the thing, where a fella is paying for the pattern, but also aint paying for the pattern repeatedly. So, what's the 'middle ground' here? buy the pattern once paying for the pattern again every time you order a kit. I mean, what's #2 in between 1 and 3? Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law."

Just offer the pattern for free with a kit purchase. Easy Peasey. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.

Now how come I didn't think of that?#$! Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted April 25, 2017 Author Contributing Member Report Posted April 25, 2017 Just checked cutesy for leather "kits" (since I've been on the phone all morning anyway!). Rough guessing, if a "kit" for a little "folded card holder" wallet (basically teh same thing as the free pattern on my site) is $25, then a pre-cut holster "blank" must run about $400 Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law."
