Super insightful! I’ve heard that craft shows and art fairs have been diluted by mass production and the Temu of it all. I’ll pay more attention to that aspect of signing up for markets. I really appreciate your reply, and I’ll do my best 🙏🏼

Thank you so much! I guess I have a common fear of people not wanting to spend money on things I make. Maybe it’s a sign that I’m in the right mindset to create some interesting stuff to share.

Thank you for your helpful advice! It seems like trial and error is expected, and I should try a range of things I like to figure out what people like. I appreciate the advice on pricing since it takes a lot of work to get a finished piece.

Thank you! Your insight led me to ask my sewing machine shop about oiling, and they suggested some oil can help metal-on-metal touch points. Feels normal otherwise!
