| Just venting about Etsy and custom outfits... I know embroidery machines are not cheap because I was drooling on the Husqvarna Diamond last night that I want sooooooo BAD!!! But the prices I am getting to have something made for me just seem so HIGH.... which maybe they should be I have no clue of what material and time is in what I need I just think $30 for me to mail you a piece of white cotton fabric and a piece of black and you to do this seems rather high.... not actually make the hat just do the stitching and I make the hat... so please tell me if I am wrong!!!!

| You're providing the material and they're still charging $30? Yeah, I'd say that's high...

| I just paid $18 to have a date embroidered into an oval on a piece of one of my husband's shirts. Our daughter will have it sewn into her wedding gown as her "something blue" from her dad and will use the lace cuff from my wedding gown around the stems of her bouquet as her something old. I guess the point is that custom isn't cheap! |

| I think with something custom and I hadn't ordered from them before, $10 would concern me more than $30 Certainly you should get good work for that amount. You have to order their work to judge it and my guess is that it will be very nice. Hope so if you go with it.
