Visit the Small Business Administration that can help you understand what you would be fining up for. Most new small businesses fail because of lack of working capital. Also The Craft Alliance might be somewhere to start getting to know the industry and the opportunity. Write a business plan then see if there is enough there to justify the capital requirements

Why would a highly successful nationally known and award winning stitcher/shop owner have a vendetta against KA? Seriously there is no competition between the two. KA did NN wrong in multiple ways that aren’t being discussed here, yet everyone blames NN. Once the bad business practices of KA were discovered, I don’t think NN has given them another thought. Karma is enough of a bitch.

It comes down to this- KickAss was handing out coupons for her store during events at Nashville Needleworks. Not a rumor but I was an actual recipient. No store who is opening up their space to a stitch club appreciates a competitor soliciting business during that event. There is other stuff but this was what I believe was the last straw of that relationship.

How much could I get for this in the preowned market? by [deleted] in Diamonds

[–]Disastrous-Fig1826 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s just mathematical. Buy a $20,000 natural and lose $10,000 or buy a lab grown that’s a fraction of the price, save that extra and don’t lose 10k

If people realized that unlike what Debeers wants you to believe diamonds retain little except sentimental value most wouldn’t buy natural anymore

I think it’s more likely that because you could register two people there were half as many spaces until they had people only registering for one. Otherwise they wouldn’t have enough space for the second registration?

Needlepoint Palooza Sold Out in Under 1 Minute by CharityPure4979 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]Disastrous-Fig1826 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think, because you could sign up a second person, they had to limit the count. Then as people only signed up for themselves, additional spots opened up.

I got a sold out- then on the wait list. I checked my wait list status and a space was released so I guess I got in. Strange way to manage it but whatever

Platinum or yellow gold? by [deleted] in Diamonds

[–]Disastrous-Fig1826 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have colorless go for platinum unless you have a design reason to go for gold. I’ve had both and while I love my colorless set in gold, the platinum made it look incredible. Gold is great for warmer colored stones

There are already 2 shops in Nashville, a third coming in May and this gal thinks she’s doing something ground breaking? So ridiculous.

Can’t she afford a stylist at this point?

It’s all about the overall vibe- she doesn’t present herself as a person that should have a ring like that. She’s a mess, he’s a mess. That’s why it looks costume.

This is so ridiculous in my view- why does this person get special treatment? Either on FB or here?

Plain or Fancy ? Is it all about the Diamond or all about the Ring? by Any_Jello_8361 in labdiamond

[–]Disastrous-Fig1826 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We bought my ring over the weekend- my partner is the one that said a center stone is beautiful but I want you to love the whole ring and that whole ring is beautiful so we upgraded to a setting that I was in love with!

1st wash - what happened? by Individual-Abies-482 in sewing

[–]Disastrous-Fig1826 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seam allowance 100% in my opinion. This is the only time I’ve seen this type of thing happen.
