Under the Gun

[RockyR]

We have an order for 24 kilts (5 yard wool kilts) in a special order tartan that we designed for an Emerald society. They need the kilts by March 10 and the mill had some delays in getting the cloth to us, so it just arrived today at 1 PM. Looks like Mac and Ian and I will have a very LONG weekend!

You can do it Rocky because you guys are the best. With that being said don't let my order get lost in the process and at least you don't have the same time restraints (6 to 8 weeks).

Sew, very old one! Sew like the wind!

Not to worry, Dusty. We knew this "bump" was coming through the order que and we planned for it. We're still at 8 weeks on regular orders.

David...I resemble that remark.

Good luck, I'm sure all will be exceptional and meet customer expectations and satisfaction....

Almost always better to be busy than idle.

Rocky... Instead of spending time at XMarks, get to work! You'll lose an hour Sunday AM as well due to the time change.
Cheers

I seem to get more done when I get in a time crunch. it's like I kick into high gear and my focus gets sharper, sure beats lolly gagging about when things aren't busy.

Nevertheless, we expect a couple of photos showing the progress through the weekend...

What was our secret to getting 24 kilts done in 3 days with a St. Patrick's day deadline looming? Red Bull.
