So this will be one of your first lessons in the business world of kilt making.
Remember when we got you to itemise the cost of your first kilt?(actually Steve asked you) Now what was the final figure you came up with? at least four times what you are charging...
So review it so you have it in your head the next time you have to give a price.
Please note..This reply is in the spirit of respect...!

Yes, but I'm not a "professional kiltmaker", you know? I haven't even gotten halfway through my second kilt! I never expected to make any money at them. To make money I know full well what I'd have to charge. It'll take me 20 hours per kilt, easy. That's 40 hours of work, and my time even as a hack is worth $7.50 an hour so I should be charging her $300 for those kilts instead of $120. I figure it's a learning thing, if it happens. IF it happens. I don't have e-mail from her, yet!

We'll see how it goes IF she e-mails me.
