That entry did make me think to myself "shit, what other machines, tools (sewing hammer?????), etc. exist out there that I don't even know about??" I mean, I LOVE tools. So, I've bought a catalog from Universal Sewing Supply to help me answer that question. beleive me, I'll be askeing alot of "what does a **** do?" type questions in teh near future... b) calm down about your blog, I mean how old is it?? You've coached enough business to know that it takes about 3 years minimum to get a steady flow of customers, right? Or do you only coach ridiculously luck clients?? Maybe you could contact Craig of craigslist and ask him how he provides such an amazing service and makes a living, too.... Anyway, I personally have told about 50 people about your site, and 3 of them have personally Thanked me for sharing the info. so wait a little & just enjoy your cute boy for now. and keep up the amazing posts!

Other than the fact that he also was most likely autistic -yet another, a pattern emerges here-; his thinking was so far ahead of his time that he too was a financial failure. He ended his life by jumping off a bridge. So many auties die unhappily :( and people wonder why I worry... A friend passed me an update on Rudolf Diesel.

My computer did a total crash and my "the boy" rescued it but it's taken a while to get files and favorites back. I will try to post again on the forum soon...Don't give up! (PS: I'm going to donate to your site right now if I can find the link...)

One of my sales reps has a company she reps whose owner runs her old diesel Mercedes on used McDonald's french fry grease.

I listed it with the major search engines and beyond asking people to link to me and asking them to tell others about it, I don't have any idea what to do. I suppose I could use a pay service but I'm on a fixed (read: low) income and most likely couldn't afford to buy key words or whatever it is that people do to generate site traffic. I'd be open to a subscription service but thought I'd wait on that until the bulletin board was generating more traffic. I'd be interested in knowing how to set something like that up. About the waistband. I figure the best way to do that is to set up an appointment with a buddy of mine so I can take pictures of stitchers setting those at his plant (right by my house). I've been avoiding him lately because he's looking for a fluent spanish language patternmaker -iow, me- to run product development in his plant in Durango Mexico and I'm not interested in 5-pocket, supervising a department, denim or moving to mexico ;-) I’d really appreciate any tips on how to get word out about the site.

I look forward to all the information you have been giving. I'm waiting for the next piece to putting in a welt pocket. I bet there are lots of sewers just like me who are soaking up all the construction methods you are giving us who didn't realize that you'd like more feedback. Sewers: Fire away!

You couldn't possibly do that in a year, or has it even been a year? If it's possible I'd update the book to talk about the new website. If not possible throw a sheet of paper in the book with your website on it and talk about what they will gain from joining the site. And I would certainly make it subscription based for those who are seriously interested. It wouldn't phase me to pay 500 a year to subscribe. It's that important to me. Your advise is invaluable. I can't really put a price on it. If you can get around to it, please talk about the waistband. I want to know everything you know that deals with every kind of waistband. I will not hesitate to drop 150 into your paypal account. I’m with Jess, don’t get upset that you aren’t making droves of money yet or for that matter getting droves of traffic.
