To you golfers
« on: April 07, 2010, 02:04:28 PM »
I gave some embroidered golf towels to a fund raiser a while back. I was told I would receive a contribution form for our taxes. But when the form came, I had to fill in the values of the items. I have never purchased a golf towel in my life. This towel was a white fingertip towel and cost $2.75 to purchase and then I installed a grommet and hooked a shower curtain clip to it. And then embroidered the logo of the organization on them. There are 13,717 stitches in the design and 3 thread color changes. Typically embroiderers charge by the 1000 stitches. By the way I had to pay $13 to get the design digitized but can use it over and over. I put each towel in a 1 quart freezer bag to keep them nice.



Would $7.50 be a fair price? Or would you pay $10 for that towel? Just be honest. I don't want to set a price that is not reasonable.

By the way if you think this looks odd or crooked, it's supposed to look like a child drew it and colored it. PORT stands for Pediatric Oncology Resource Team.

Google "golf towels embroidered" and you will come up with a wide range of prices.

I know Mikey. I did and that really didn't help all that much. The problem is that I wouldn't pay what I might want to charge so feel funny about it. But then everybody knows I'm cheap. And it's hard for any DIYer to get paid a fair price for their time.
