Today’s my birthday but you’re the one getting a present! The discussion forum (bulletin board) is configured and all ready to go. You’ll have to log-in to post comments and questions. For now, the bulletin board is open to anyone who has purchased a copy of my book (new copies, it’s free for one year; buyers of used copies pay $45). The major topic areas (feel free to suggest others) are:
Admin: RAQ: Rarely Asked Questions, Bios and Offers to Buy & Sell
Patterns: Fitting, Sizing & Grading, Engineering and Resources- pattern makers, graders, marker making
Vintage Patterns & Fashion: vintage patterns, vintage fashion designers and Vionnet
Sewing: Samples & Prototypes, Production, costs and process organization, Resources for sample makers, contractors etc
Product Development: Line & Style Development, Costing & Pricing, Troubleshooting
Sales & Marketing: Line Launch, Sales reps and shows, Labels & Marketing, care labels, logos and hang tags, Resources -Fiinding & working with reps and PR professionals
Production: Marking & Cutting -marking, cutting, allocation and spreading management
Machines, Equipment & Tools: Q & A, Resources -where to buy: vendors & suppliers
Textiles & Inputs: Fabric testing and Resources -all guts and goodies
Consumers: Ask a question about the industry, Clothing Complaints
On an unrelated note, I am 44 today. If you’re feeling generous, I’d love anything off of my Amazon Wish List and I’d welcome used books as readily as new ones. Thank you!

The topics that don’t have a post yet aren’t letting me post; say I have to be an administrator. Does the list owner have to start each topic?
