Dan’s Corner
Once again more is happening around
here than I am prepared for! It is not that I
am sitting back hoping that things work
out either. Last month I told you about
our new Point of Sale System I was
working to install. I started the process
and found out that the system was in no
way ready for prime time. Instead, I have
agreed to help the company get it ready.
Now that sure threw some cold water on
things!
We have had so much fabric coming in I
had to hold orders. It was a matter of the
walls were starting to be pushed out and
there was no more room for another
thing. Although I would love to see the
walls get moved out at least another 30
feet that dream will have to wait on
having an investor or an inheritance –
whichever comes first!
Don’t miss Louis Carney this month. His
skills are amazing and he plans on
sharing some great techniques with us. I
realize he is a guy but this guy can sew
unlike another one you know who can
make the machines turn in one way but
not the other!
