Post by: CharlesDearing on May 23, 2013, 06:39:32 pm: Thanks. They don't want to do another book with me because of very bad sales of the first one so unless I approached by another publishing company or do an e-book, then there won't be anymore books from me :(

Post by: EIEIO on May 23, 2013, 06:47:58 pm: I bought a copy of your book. Sorry to here it didn't sell well.I guess there's some competition out there.

Have you tried offering custom portraits? Requests show up on the scrollsaw site pretty regularly. People like stuff like that of their pets - would be right up your alley.

Post by: CharlesDearing on May 24, 2013, 11:03:13 pm: Yes I do custom designs, but (at this risk of sounding arrogant)....most want them done for free....which is fine, but I'm trying to make a living lol

Post by: Mainewoods on May 25, 2013, 04:10:11 pm: For anyone interested (EIEIO) Charlie's rates are very reasonable for custom patterns. He did pattern of my stepson and his wife for me. Excellent work, like always!

Post by: CharlesDearing on June 02, 2013, 06:12:50 pm: The sale has now ended. Thanks to the ones who ordered. If you're keeping up and losing faith in Pattern Pit Stop...it WILL happen. The web person had health issues and has ceased all communications so my brother is taking over and we WILL get it going.

Title: Re: Pattern sale only until June 1, 2013
Post by: CharlesDearing on June 06, 2013, 09:49:36 am: If I'm awake (my meds make me tired) you get them immediately. If I'm napping, then usually within a few hours at longest. On the rare occasion that I'm gone for a weekend then it would be Sunday evening usually. The new site will have "add to cart" buttons with a one time download - expiring link so you wont have to wait any longer than it takes the companies involved to process it ;)
