The forum is where we get into specifics, and it's available to people who have bought Kathleen's book, which ensures that the discussion in the forum goes beyond what is in the book and doesn't always go back over the basics.

The yellow pages turns out a list of at least 30. My problem is that I would like a reference or referal to one that others have used. Walking in to a contractor to have samples made is an open checkbook scenario. A scene from which I just got scorched pretty badly. I'm not willing to say that it didn't take the conntractor 5 hours to sew a polo shirt but if it did take them that long (at $40.00/hour) I would have like to know in advance that they move at a snails pace and run chronically 2 weeks behind. BTW there were no patterning problems AND they had a sew-by. During my years as a contractor I got nearly all of my business from referals and I always carry around business card of people I would refer out. When so much is at steak I am hesitant to go to anybody again that I don't get through referal or with references. Living in a major metropolitan it is not that I can’t find a contractor.
