Thanks for the invite Rod and welcome to f.i.n - you have a great bio mate! Hey I was alive in the 70's and it's true a lot of fashion design sucked - (the Swedish furniture rocked tho haha) - but I was a kid and loved the whole original skateboarding scene and flares were fun lol. Still those giant floral print dresses my mum wore did give me a headache. I can't help finding inspiration from my past, it's the only one I have lol. Anyway welcome Rod!

Thanks for the friend request! It's nice to meet the person behind some of my favorite work. Good pattern makers are so far and few between.

Hi Rockerick,

I haven't heard from you for a while. Thought I would touch base and see how things are going for you.

I just upgraded my CAD software and am now running V10 (or V9 or V8) of Optitex PDS/Grade/Mark.

What's new on your end?

Hi, oh trust me, I am learning constantly, I even went and put an ad up in Yiwu and got a few responses from the police over there. I also got a company that does exactly what you are saying, they contacted me on my posting and said they would do what they could to help me get my money back. I have know about these companies for a long time, and they are good, especially for the large orders, I am so small, that they would actually take from my profit margin and I do not want to raise my prices. I am learning, but I am also the type that will go after this guy big time. I have met alot of people there in China and they are also trying to help me. But, my fault to some degree, my fault. Interested in anything? I also sell Titanium and Tungsten, beautiful items. Thanks again!
